The term eremite has two related meanings in Ars Magica.
- Eremites in the Order of Hermes
- Within the Order of Hermes, an eremite is a magus living in isolation, not affiliated with any covenant. The term was introduced in The Mysteries Revised Edition.[1] Eremites in the Normandy Tribunal lack certain legal rights and privileges that magi who belong to covenants enjoy.[2]
- Religious Eremites
- In real medieval history, an eremite was a religious hermit. The term is sometimes used in Ars Magica rule books to refer to these holy men and women, rather than magi.[3][4]
