Head of Magical and Technological Innovations
Head of Magical and Technological Innovations (Head of MTI) is a recent addition to the Tariad Tower Institute of Magic in response to the growing use of modern technologies and artifice. While areas of study such as Alchemy and Artifice already existed, the decision was made to integrate these under the the umbrella of Magical and Technological Innovations. This adjustment was made easier due to the current Head being a Professor of Artifice with significant experience with Alchemy already.
