-   More properly known as **The Grand Consortium of Arcanists, Enchanters, Sorcerers, Summoners, Thaumaturgists, Warlocks, Wizards, and Others Practiced in Arts Elrditch and Magickal**.
-   The "guild of guilds" for most arcane spellcasters (although [Bloodmages](/classes/bloodmage.html) are strictly disallowed).
-   Trade in omnium pieces, a secret coinage made from a magic-infused, quasi-metal substance that can be used to make magic items.
-   Typically work with the [Astral Trade Union](./astral-trade-union.html), although many of the guilds within are known to work with other factions to further their own agendas.
