Overview
The Arcane Architect is an Imperial title appointed by the Imperial Conclave. The title was created by the Imperial Senate during the Autumn Equinox 379YE.
When the title was initially created, it had an unlimited power to commission the construction of mana structures. The Senate amended the power to once per season as part of an administrative motion.
Responsibilities
The Arcane Architect is responsible for supporting the ritual magicians of the Empire in virtuous application of mana.
Powers
Commission construction of mana structures
Once per summit, the Arcane Architect can commission the construction of structures that will produce crystal mana. The materials required for construction are provided by the Arcane Architect. Each such commission automatically creates a sinecures, one that is appointed by Declaration of Candidacy. These titles must be Imperial titles, rather than national titles (meaning they can be held by any citizen). As with any other title appointed through the Imperial Conclave, these subsidiary titles cannot be revoked by any assembly of the Imperial Synod.
To use this power, the Arcane Architect provides an announcement to the Civil Service, and then presents the announcement to the Senate. No voting is possible by the Senate at this point, as the power has been delegated to the Arcane Architect. The Imperial Synod may, however, choose to exercise their veto over the Arcane Architect's commision.

Once per summit, the Architect can raise an address to the agenda of a Conclave session for free.
Toad Wand
During the Winter Solstice 379YE, the eternal Sadogua pledged to provide a magic item to the Arcane Architect. This item takes the form of a wand surmounted by a toad.
