Description
School of Graven Mages are strange objects animated through some form of sorcery. Their appearance is that of a spherical body of faces, resembling the stone crowns used by members of the Olivinus, and Lazuli Conspectus sorcerers of the Raya Lucaria AcademyDungeon. They float around ominously, firing off magic bolts like a mortar, or releasing a deadly mist which damages when one gets too close.

These creatures are most likely made up of Glintstone Sorcerers of the Olivinus Conspectus and Lazuli Sorcerers that studied at the Raya Lucaria AcademyDungeon, and are a large clump of Olivinus Glintstone Crowns and Lazuli Glintstone Crowns. This may be the reason why the study of the Primeval Current was deemed as heresy and witchcraft. The Olivinus Conspectus primarily utilizes Star Sorceries while the Lazuli Conspectus is tied to the stars and the Carian Royalty.
The dialogue/lore in game that suggests that Sellen was the one whom created these creatures is backed up by the fact that her mentor was Master Azur, the founder of the Karolos Conspectus, whose masks are notably spared from being incorporated into any of the Spheres. The Karolos Sorcerers are also the most plentiful type encountered throughout the academy, and world in general save for places still held by Carians, where Lazuli sorcerers still reside. Furthermore, paintings of the founding sorcerers found throughout the academy (except for the ones hanging in the debate parlour) are positioned such that Lusat and the Lazuli founders are either on their side or upside down, whereas Azurs are positioned properly. A notable few of these are on the secret path that's before the debate parlour, the one leading to the Graven School Talisman that rests upon an inert Graven Mage (part of the world geometry; not an enemy to fight). The implication here being that Sellen had a certain level of disdain for the other conspectuses, explaining her willingness to use their sorcerers in her experiments in creating the seeds of new stars, ultimately resulting in the making of Graven Mages.
Depending on which School of Graven Mages, they can have one of two attacks, one of which involves puffing out purple clouds that do continuous Magic damage, and the other involves them shooting a barrage of magical blasts into the air, which rain down on the surrounding area a few moments later. The cloud attack is similar to the Night Maiden’s Mist sorcery.
