The Bursar of the Conclave is an Imperial title bestowed on a magician. It is appointed through the Conclave.
The position was established by unanimous vote of the Imperial Senate in Summer 377YE. The vote followed extensive political maneuvering within the Conclave, and a Declaration of Concord laying out the responsibilities and powers the magicians wished the Bursar to possess.
Responsibilities
The purpose of the Bursar is to help the Conclave raise money to acquire resources for Conclave members and to arrange the purchase of materials and items that the Conclave wishes to acquire. They are expected to liaise closely with the archmagi and the grandmasters of the orders to identify what is available and what is required.
Powers
The Bursar of the Conclave is an Imperial title in the Conclave.
Addressing the Conclave
Once per summit, the Bursar can raise an address to the agenda of a Conclave session for free. This power is intended to be used to allow the Bursar to appraise the Conclave of the current financial status of the Conclave, the contracts in progress and the opportunities available - but the bursar is free to address the Conclave however they wish.
Gambit of Commerce
Once during each summit, the Bursar can present a single gambit during a Conclave session. The gambit is raised to the agenda, presented, debated and resourced in the same way as a gambit raised by an archmage. The Principle of Presence means that the Bursar can appoint a proxy to raise a gambit on their behalf - but the proxy cannot present it.
Selection
The appointment, replacement or removal of the Bursar is made by the declaration of candidacy as part of the agenda of a Conclave session. A candidate can be presented for the post of Bursar only once a season.
Removal
The Bursar serves until they are replaced by another magician using the Declaration of Candidacy. The Bursar cannot be revoked by any assembly of the Imperial Synod.
