Ordo Verbus Glacialis is the first guild to fully use the new spell casting system.

     You are a member of Ordo Verbus Glacialis, a cabal of magi who study the entropic energies of
 ice and cold.
     Like all magi, you require a handful of esoteric skills that will allow you to manipulate the
 arcane, as well as a deep reserve of spiritual energy.  In addition to these skills and energies,
 you will use several techniques and power stores unique to an initiate of this order.
     At the core of an initiate's study with the order is the esoteric art of Glaciaturgy, the
 arcane manipulation of ice.  It is the rigid and immobile structure of ice that the order has
 sought to emulate in all things, for it is their belief that only within a strict hierarchy which
 is free from all other distractions shall true power be found.
     The ultimate goal of the Ordo Verbus Glacialis is simple: subversive order in all things.  The
 Tower of Geladia has fallen before -- not to the overt strength or subtle cunning of outside
 powers, but instead to a weakness of mind and a wavering resolve which lead to the destruction of
 the order from within. It is these very weaknesses that the remnants of the White Magi have
 learned from and built upon once more, and with the crystalline structure of ice, the biting
 severity of cold, and the creeping inevitability of entropy that the order shall stake its claim
 of dominance over the chaotic landscape of the world.
     These three principles -- cold, entropy, and order -- serve as the catalysts of your ability
 to manipulate and resonate with magickal energies to create any number of powerful effects for the
 betterment of the order.  Power comes to initiates in many forms; some are as gentle as freshly
 fallen snow, while others are like a raging avalanche.  Tempering and controlling such forms of
 power for the greater good is key to becoming a successful member of the Order, and thereby
 mastering the Frozen Word.
     The order has a communication channel accessed using the commands 'verbus', 'ovg', and
 'guild'.
     Read 'help spells' for information on your spells and spellcasting.  See 'help spell summary'
 for a quick display of your spell information.

     Almost all combat spells require you to aim them and can potentially be dodged; your attack
 rating with these spells is determined by your telesmatic weapon along with the relevant magickal
 control skills (such as cryoturgy) and their mother attributes.


An interesting history book excerpt:

The fourth page is written in silvery script and discusses the fall of the original Order of the White Magi in the city of Palanthas in the arctic north. It seems that, through the Conclave formed by the White, Red, and Black Orders, the White Magi became corrupted by the Black, some of their members coming to commit terrible atrocities. A victim of one such act was the leader of the unicorns, who was transformed into a stone statue while her horn was made into an icicle and hidden deep within a glacier. There is more writing on this page, but the rest has been smeared; the only word which can be distinguished clearly is "Remorhaz".
