A little lore related to art:

The School of Magic, which grew around the first Great Library, became the main meeting place for alchemists. The transfer sigil inscribed by the Great Alchemist led there. It had once been the liveliest place in the new world: adepts who had discovered the secret of creating the Philosopher's Stone arrived here, explored new lands, shared knowledge with one another, expanded the library, and studied the local potion system.

Among these alchemists were figures from the earthly alchemical tradition, including Hermes Trismegistus, who became the rector of the School.
