Why have the red wizards of thay whose one big weakness is that they can't unite themselves into one one unit rather than many ambitious individuals develop something like circle magic that is dependent upon cooperation?

So that they can force their apprentices to give up their spells to empower the Red Wizards own spells.

Indeed. It is a defining, impossible-to-ignore example of the Red Wizards' strict hierarchy based upon arcane prowess. It reminds lesser Red Wizards that you are nothing but resources to your superiors, which urges them to gain in power to overcome their sovereigns and earn the right to do the same to others.

Because deep down inside, they all love each other.

Do you think we're getting off topic?

Just a tad. I think we've pretty much answered whatever question was posted. The circle thing is a throwback to that old 1E supplement that detailed the Red Wizards. I think the wizards were so feared and powerful because the circle leaders could boost their levels up to obscene limits plus Eltab was still trapped under that city, not sure if he had something to do with it. I think if the Red Wizards were really so disfunctional, the country would fall apart or mimic a drow city and that would be L.A.M.E lame. So Red Wizards get circle magic because it rocks and they shave their heads to look bad@ss like Vin Diesel
