Any Battle Magic Wizard, Illusionist, Elementalist, Hedge-Wizard, or Wizard's Apprentice may enter the Light College as a Light Acolyte. However, acolytes are strictly regemented and are not allowed out of the college except when accompanied by their master (usually into battle). The means that Light Acolyte is not usually a suitable career for a player character mage. If the gamesmaster is running a campaign in which all the player characters are in the fourth career, then a Light Wizard may be viable as a palyer character's career. Otherwise, it should be reserved for NPCs.
