In 100AL, Nicolas Carson was born in Benevis. Throughout his life he revolutionised mathematics and magic, studying the latter to unprecedented depth. His contributions are one of the reasons that Benevis recovered so well from the events of The [[Darkness]]. His primary contributions include introducing a new and more efficient numeric system which he learned from foreign merchants, making it easier for more common people to learn basic math; and the establishment of a magic-oriented institute named the Carson Institute.

			=Origin=
			The Carson Institute first started out as a way to study and understand the magic of the priests of the [[Religions#Red Temple\|Red Temple]], as civilisation was being rebuilt around the Temple after The Darkness. The Temple wanted more efficient ways to teach its priests magic, and after hearing about the brilliance of Nicolas Carson -- who was something of a talented magificer himself -- they insisted on funding whatever would help him achieve their goal. Thus the Carson Institute was born. Today, there are four main institutes in Lyte, Regalias, Duracia, and Umburn, and some minor institutes in other major cities.

			All those who are licensed to wield magic in public in Benevis must obtain the license from the institute, and take Carson's Oath. The oath essentially asks the person to swear by the Child God that they will a) wield magic in a way that does not harm their own country, b) wield magic in a way that is lawful, and c) wield magic in a way that meets the requirements of whoever has contracted the mage's abilities. Foreign magic-wielders visiting Benevis can get a license that allows them to perform magic for non-harmful religious or practical purposes to limited degrees.

			=Purpose=
			The Carson Institute has several distinct purposes, the combination of which likely make it the most significant magic institution in Riiga.
