Tursei is known as the Uncaring One. Before there was a deity who governed magic, there was only the Well, from which all arcane magic comes. A young but incredibly powerful young human wizard, Teris Vel'Dan, came upon the Well and saw the true nature of magic. She drank from the swirling water and was at once infused with the power of the Well. Her spirit and the powers of the Well became tied together, and when Teris died, she was elevated to godhood by the Well's energies, becoming Tursei, goddess of magic.

Dogma
Hold neutrality above good, evil, law or chaos. Magic is the most important thing that there is. Balance between law and chaos, and between good and evil, should be preserved. Magic is not infinite; it comes from the Well, which is Tursei, and may eventually wane. Research and create new spells and magical items, for this increases the amount magic in the Well. The more magic in the Well, the more magic there is for everyone to use. Always seek forgotten magic and lore so that the Well will become ever deeper.

Clergy and Temples
Tursei seems not to care whether she is worshiped. Nonetheless, she receives devotion from oracles, sages, and seers, and many wizards and archmages consider her their patron. Members of the Uncaring One's clergy echo her detached philosophy on worldly affairs; they're much more concerned with researching magic and creating new spells and items. Her clerics are usually neutral, though a small minority are chaotic neutral. Some are lawful neutral, neutral evil, or neutral good. The church does not actively encourage others to study magic, but neither does it discourage them, as the church's primary concern is balance.

Tursei's temples are generally tall, round towers with vast libraries, though not everyone is allowed in. Only recognized members of the Shining Tower are granted access. Each temple has nine floors, echoing the Nine Rings of Magic.
