Hosted by a house or cult, an initiation party is a regular event featuring showy displays by mages who might even offer attendees spellwork for free. The main goal of an initiation party is to spark interest in new recruits, with a secondary benefit of sowing widespread belief in the power of the hosting faction's magic.

These parties tend to be quite thrilling, featuring food and drink (possibly laced with spells), as well as free promotional artifacts (of questionable usefulness). An attendee ought to be wary of what they interact with at one of these parties: with so much magic being shown off, it is not uncommon for a partygoer to leave vastly different than how they arrived.

-These parties are held quite regularly and it isn't uncommon to attend just for the thrill of doing so. There are usually House mages performing magic to show off, and sometimes offering spell services for free. In addition Houses will frequently give away all manner of artifacts to attendees - generally trinkets and gadgets that are essentially useless and do little more than promote the House in some way they are still desired. Some parties include ensorcelled goodies or transformative treats with a range of effects that attendees must be mindful of lest they walk away much different than how they arrived.
