One of the twelve [[Houses of Hermes|Houses]] of the [[Order of Hermes]], '''House Verditius''' is contains the foremost magical artisans of the Order. In [[Fifth Edition]] it is a [[Mystery Cult]], continuing the Cult of Hephaestus. Its [[Domus Magna|domus magna]] is [[Verdi]], in the [[Roman Tribunal]]. Verditius magi are characterized by their lack of ability to cast Formulaic spells without casting aids on the one hand, and their unique capabilities in enchanting items on the other. These are based on the [[Outer Mystery]] of [[Verditius Magus]] ([[ArM5]] 93). The expanded [[Canon|canon]] provided in [[Houses of Hermes: Mystery Cults]] describes the House as a competitive society of artisans who take great pride in their work, with little structure (at least outside the [[Confraternity|Confraternities]]). It also emphasizes the Cult of Vulcan, expunged of deity worship, in its traditions, and presentes several [[Inner Mystery|Innery Mysteries]] of great appeal to the Verditius. The expansion has been criticized in that its introduction of the mechanic of [[Verditius Hubris]] pigeonholes Verditius magi into that specific archetype, and for allowing a mundane vandetta to feature prominently in the House's history. The mystery of the [[Automata]] was also criticized as being complex and ultimately unrewarding, and the [[Elder Runes]] mystery is sometimes claimed to be ''too'' effective if wielded right. ===References * The core decsription is given in [[ArM5]] 12-13. * The expanded [[Canon|canon]] is provided in [[HoHMC]] 107-137, and was penned by [[Matt Ryan]].
