The moment the examiner of this last test gave his permission for the candidates to begin, Lothur opened the scroll of a formation from the set offered by the association.
The Formation Masters Association would not test an apprentice's favorite formation. No, the purpose of this exam was to measure the ability of the individuals under examination. So they had to produce or manipulate formations chosen by that place.
Since every 1-star formation master was expected to know how to produce any Iron-grade formation, there was no problem in following rules like that.
On the other hand, all materials used in the exam had to be provided by the association to ensure the integrity of the tests. So, only from something chosen in advance by the management of this place would the tests work as well as possible.
With that, after Lothur learned one of those formations he had not yet come in contact with, he quickly took the materials he would need to develop it and found a place to sit down.
