Much like the butterfly...
The Izzet are obsessive experimenters, the epitome of keen creative intellect combined with an unfortunately short attention span. The original mandate of the Izzet guild was to provide solutions for public works projects (sewers, boilers, roadways), but their experiments often produce mana geysers, spatial rifts, or arcane portals instead. has driven The Izzet, as of late, have delved deeper and deeper into more dangerous and experimental magic. The purpose of these experiments is unknown.
The Izzet League are charged with attending to Ravnican civic works, including water supply systems, sewers, heating systems, boilers, and roadways.In addition to carrying out these functions, the Izzet members obsessive, keen, and creative intellectuals, who often have short attention spans are known to perform magical experiments, ever with reckless abandon and sometimes with spectacular but severe results. Unlike the other guilds, the Izzet do not strive for hegemony of the city and plane of Ravnica or power at all; integral to the Izzet League, a guild of masters of both theoretical and applied science and spellcraft, however, the passionate seeking and thirst for knowledge. Combined with their drive for discovery and child-like curiosity, the brilliant but capricious and whimsical Izzet magewrights jump to and from ideas as they see fit, discarding old ideas for new ones that attract their attention. In this regard, they can likened to ambivalent or benevolent mad and absent-minded scientists/professors.
