<onlyinclude>The origins of the [[Illuminati]] are unknown, though it is generally accepted that they are extremely ancient, certainly predating the [[Holy Celestine Empire|Celestine Empire]]. Some scholars have speculated that the Illuminati predates even the [[Vernal Wars]], though there has never been any conclusive evidence on this one way or the other. At the time of the founding of the Celestine Empire, the Illuminati were known as an enigmatic sect of primarily [[dracnari]] mystics, revered by most dracnari for their spiritual wisdom and strength. After the Illuminati opened the way to the [[Eternal Flame]], it is rumoured that their occult and esoteric teachings had a renaissance. However, the Illuminati had always closely guarded their rites of Initiation into the Mysteries, and the general public only saw their spiritual and mystic powers increase dramatically. Around this time, members of the Illuminati began to wear their trademark robes that hid their features and it is also around this time that the dracnari developed the skills of [[Beastmastery]].</onlyinclude>

The Illuminati is of the [[guardian]] [[archetype]]. Thus, they are required to take [[HighMagic]] as a common skill before being able to study [[Cosmic]] magic. Once having mastered Cosmic magic, the Illuminati member then specializes in [[Transmology]], a mysterious skill that allows them to tap into the wonder of the [[Vortex|Plane of Vortex]]. Their main secondary skill is [[Rituals]], which when they master will allow them to specialize in [[Paradigmatics]], sometimes called chaos magic. At some point a member must choose either to take the [[Hexes]] skill or to train in [[Tarot]] or to learn the science of [[Astrology]]. Illuminati members may also take [[Enchantment]] as a trade skill with a specialization in [[Spellcraft]].
