Ismini Priscilis, Archdean of Transmutation
Ismini's appointment as the archdean of Transmutation was controversial, as their extensive self-transmutation was a little too reminiscent of the mad archdean Zafar, the perpetrator of the Disaster of 1335 that lead to the deaths of over a thousand of Crescenscia's finest students. However, fears were quelled when Magus Shahidi made a rare public appearance to personally endorse them. Years later, this would widely be regarded as a wise choice that helped prevent Crescenscia from falling apart, as Ismini personally restored people's trust in transmutation wizards and helped aid recovery efforts by crafting prosthetic limbs for students who had been injured in the Disaster.
Ismini got their beginnings as a kalashtar from Hrostivik who studied magic in one of Spiroch's military academies. However, they chafed against Spiroch's normative expectations and a growing unease with the body they were born in. Although they had achieved a high officer position at a remarkably young age, they were deeply unhappy with their place in Spiroch and used their magic to escape through Jejun and into Crescen, where they eventually learned Common. They were offered a faculty position at Crescenscia without ever actually studying there, and after the Disaster of 1335, they were hand-picked as the new Archdean by Magus Shahidi.
