Magisters are members of the Magisterium, the upper house of the Tevinter Imperial Senate.[1] These coveted seats are split among the Circle of Magi, the Chantry, and the major families — who are currently all mages. Their edicts rule the Tevinter Imperium.[2] Young mages often aspire to become a magister's apprentice because it offers them the best chance of ascending to the rank of magister. Foreign mages may also indenture themselves to a magister in order to eventually become imperial citizens.[3]
Background
When Tevinter tribes were ruled by kings, before founding of the Tevinter Imperium, a magister was a top representative of a local society of mages, the Circle of Magi, in a state council of the most powerful mages.[4]
The Magisterium known today was established by Archon Darinius[5]. One can be part of the Magisterium in various ways:
- A magister is chosen from each of the seven Circles of Magi in Tevinter, usually from the ranks of senior enchanters. However, First Enchanters are ineligible for becoming magisters.
- Every Grand Cleric of the Imperial Chantry has a seat, as does the Imperial Divine.
- Seats can be inherited by the magisters' heirs.
- The Imperial Archon reserves the right to appoint new magisters of his choosing at any time.[6]
The Archon used to be elected from the ranks of the Magisterium but this practice has been banned since the Black Age.[6]
After the Third Blight, the Andrastian Chantry promoted the story that a group of magisters managed to physically enter the Fade and the Golden City of the Maker,[7] According to that story, this act, recognized as the "second sin", corrupted the city and led to the creation of the first darkspawn.

Items of magisters
A significant number of artifacts formerly owned by magisters can also be found in the games:
Trivia
- The Well-Read Pig-Farmer was also part of the Magisterium.
- The ancient magisters suffered physical mutations as a result of massive lyrium consumption.[45]
- It is common for non-Tevinters to attach the label "magister" to any and all Tevinter mages. This inaccurate practice is considered a mark of ignorance in the Imperium.
- In the French translation of the first two games of the series, the Magisters were called "Inquisiteurs" (Inquisitors). This translation was dropped for Dragon Age: Inquisition.
