Sealers

Species
Librarian

Physical Description
Average height for humanoids, sealers are a three-armed caste. They typically wear paler colors than other Librarians, often with small arcane and ritualistic adornments. When casting, the visible flesh on their hands glows with violet light, which also shows between some of the gaps in their carapace.

Purpose
The number one duty of sealers is seeing to the maintenance of arcane protections placed on texts in the Library. Some of these scrolls and tomes contain summoning or binding spells that, if not properly warded, would unleash being from other dimensions. Others are more generally imbued with unstable magic that needs to be siphoned or suppressed from time to time. Should a seal or binding break, it is then the sealers' responsibility to recapture and bind the being or energy that has escaped or is attempting to escape.

They are less physically adept than the average Librarian, and so are sometimes accompanied by wardens/guardians to protect them and to wear down summoned entities for recapture.

The sealers are jittery and suspicious creatures. They take their role as seriously as any other Librarian, but whether because of the magics they are exposed to or a quirk of their caste, they are known to take their work to extremes. Because they specialize in abjurative magic, this is not usually dangerous, but it is also not unheard of for them to attempt to seal creatures, adventurers, and on occasion even other Librarians into books if one of their abbots is not nearby enough to intervene.

History
A caste presumably as old as the Library's collection

Lore Intersection
A heavily magic focused sect of Librarian society, tailored to keeping the more magic heavy material in the Library in check. They can easily fill the roles of both allies and adversaries depending on the circumstances they are found in, without breaking their role.
