When used in the proximity of a Divine, it's an all or nothing... if the circuit is powerful, it nullifies all of the deity's divine abilities, forcing it to use mortal level magic and attacks. If it is too weak, it has no effect.

The Arcane University
Located in the Imperial City, the Arcane University is the most prestigious center of magical education on the continent of Empyrean. It boasts the largest library in the known land, perhaps even the world, with countless books, scrolls, and other documents full of legends, lore, and knowledge. A center of research and education, the University mages are known to create a spell for virtually any purpose, according to a quote by the Master Wizard: "It's better to know a spell and not need it, than to need it and not know it."
Mission Statement: Established by Emperor Friedrich I in the first year of the Empire, the Arcane University's mission is to treat magic as a Science, researching all known forms of magic and replicating them into spells that any Mage with sufficient knowledge, talent, and power can use.

Cryomancy: Able to manipulate ice, typically to freeze things.
Hydromancy: Able to manipulate water. Like a magic garden hose.

Alchemy
There are three forms of Alchemy, in increasing order of complexity. The easiest alchemy is the brewing of potions with magical effects, and the more advanced alchemy includes alchemical transmutations, such as the famous lead to gold transmutation (which ironically requires a philosopher stone catalyst which is worth far more than the gold produced by said transmutation, resulting in this recipe producing a net loss of income).
The most advanced form of alchemy is the actual creation of artificial life forms, using organic and inorganic materials as reagents. These humanoid life forms are collectively referred to as Homunculi and come in several varieties.
Drone homunculum: A mass produced, expendable asset, drone homuncula tend to have identical, emotionless facial features and lack sexual organs. They have no intelligence of their own and act as a hive mind, making them extremely effective at following simple instructions from their creator in unison. With physical parameters exceeding those of ordinary humans, these make effective foot soldiers for front line combat as their corpses can be recycled to base components in order to create more homuncula. Capable of using basic magic.
Servant homuncula: Specially created servant homunculae are characterized by unique, extremely beautiful facial and body features, often encompassing various nonhuman characteristics such as cat ears, bunny tails, and the highly esteemed angel wings. They hatch from eggs at the beginning of adolescence and mature to approximately eighteen years of age before their aging halts. While capable of independent (albeit rather naive and sometimes childish) thought, they prefer to be subservient to their master and creator and tend to their duties dilligently. Capable of using advanced, often quite powerful magic.
Elite Homunculus: The most powerful, complex form of homunculi, these elite creations are designed for independent action across the world. Far more cynical than the naive homunculae, they nevertheless devote themselves to their purpose, using creative and innovative tactics with a high amount of intelligence. It is said that homunculi are linked together telepathically, which, combined with their high intelligence, explains why their collective knowledge is so vast. With the highest physical strength and stamina of all homunculus varieties and special purpose magic circuits, these super soldiers are a force to be reckoned with.
