The Magician Association is a society of mages founded to facilitate and supervise magical research in Maple World.
Story
Founding
After the Black Mage nearly destroyed Maple World centuries ago, the mages of Maple World came to believe that the White Mage's unauthorized and dangerous research on light and dark magic had led to great, avoidable tragedy. For this reason the Magician Association was created in Ellinia as a society of mages, creating an institution that would allow for collaboration between magicians across Maple World, while also establishing a system of oversight to ensure that such dangerous magical research would never again be allowed to take place. Amongst the Magician Association's esteemed members was Grendel the Really Old, who would come to serve as the society's head in the present day. In addition to Grendel, many great magicians across Maple World joined the organization, with many young mages joining and becoming apprentice mages under the tutelage of its experienced members.
A Parallel World
As the balance of the world slowly began destabilizing due to the absence of Maple World's Transcendents, the dimensional barrier between Maple World and its parallel world, Friends World, slowly began to break down. Due to the actions of Elwin, a Barrier Mage who trained under Grendel, as well as the White Mage of Friends World, a portal was created between the two worlds in Henesys, where an adventurer crossed over into Friends World and swapped places with a transfer student from Shinsoo International Private School. As a result of Maple World's magic seeping into Friends World, strange magical occurrences began taking place in the parallel world, for which Grendel decided to send mages from the Magician Association to monitor and protect the people of Friends World from the monsters created from Maple World's dark energy. Soon after, the White Mage of Friends World utilized a high-school superhero named Kinesis, who had gained the power of psychokinesis from the two worlds converging, in order to catalyze their fusion. As a result, a massive sinkhole appeared in Seoul that began absorbing parts of Friends World into Maple World, which was only stalled thanks to the intervention of all the mages in the Magician Association. After Kinesis was recovered from the sinkhole, he awoke at the Magician Association headquarters in Ellinia, where the mages of the organization helped him master his powers, rescue the people of Friends World trapped in Maple World, and stabilizing the dimensional cracks between the two worlds. Following a confrontation with the White Mage, Kinesis managed to close the sinkhole once and for all, after which he decided to create a new organization modeled after the Magician Association to gather others in Friends World who had gained magical powers and train them to harness their abilities for good.
Arcane River Expedition
After the Black Mage created the Arcane River, the Maple Alliance began making preparations to confront him in a final battle. With the help of Melange, the Alliance discovered a way to imprint a disintegration spell on Rue Ore, which would allow the Alliance to break down the protective barrier around Erda monsters in the Arcane River. While the Resistance began harvesting Rue Ore from the Verne Mine, Grendel mobilized the Magician Association to cast the disintegration magic on the ore, allowing the Alliance to fight at full strength during the battle of Tenebris.
Proof of a Shining Hero
As the Alliance began sending expeditions to Grandis, the Magician Association was tasked by the Alliance with finding ways to strengthen the abilities of its members to prepare for the fight against Gerand Darmoor and the High Flora. By researching the holy relics of the Ancient Gods, the Magician Association was able to develop a man-made artifact imbued with magic, which would harness a portion of the Adversary's unique abilities in order to draw out the potential of other Alliance members. The Magician Association then extracted some of the Adversary's powers and began mass-producing an artifact called the Proof of a Shining Hero, which could strengthen members of the Alliance with the Adversary's power.
