Thus, he is the head of [[Paxism]]. The office of the Supreme Magister is established by the [[Writings of Paxism]] specifically the Bingolian additions to the Vagumar (collectively known as the Bas Magdamar) as determined by High King [[Melkezedek the Great]]. His role is to provide spiritual guidance for the international fellowship of Paxists, to represent the Magisterium of Paxism and the Paxist religion globally, to preside over and convene meetings of the Council of Great Magisters. He fulfills much of this by issuing Bulls (''leBuleem'') which as binding interpretations of scripture. The Supreme Magister is elected by the Council of Great Magisters. For a period, he was appointed or approved by the [[Sultan of Packilvania]] but when [[Zerah Demir IV]] married King [[Thadeus I]] of [[Great Morstaybishlia]], the [[Parliament of Packilvania]] passed a law that stripped the Sultan of the power to appoint or approve the Supreme Magister. Furthermore, when the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]] under [[Gideon Muktan]] took over [[Packilvania]], they did not seek to appoint Supreme Magisters, permanently separating the head of state from that role. As such, even when the [[Carriers of Mercy]] restored a Paxist theocratic semi-absolute monarchy under the [[Bedonite dynasty]] (according to the [[Law of Packilvania]]), the Sultan was not granted the power to appoint the Supreme Magister. Nevertheless, the Supreme Magister has a role in the government of Packilvania in that he is a member of the Council of State and of the Parliament. The incumbent Supreme Magister is [[Tawak Mudawaheen]] who is technically Tawak IV. == Sub-structures == {\| class="wikitable" \|+ !Structure !Function \|- \|Congregation of the Counsellors to the Magisterium \|Advises the Supreme Magister and Council of Great Magisters on various matters \|- \|[[Dicastery of the Conviction of the Ummah]] \|Overseeing the teaching and proselytisation of religion \|- \|Dicastery of the Ordination \|Oversees magisters, priesthood and the prophethood \|- \|Dicastery of the Holy Pilgrimage \|Overseen the compulsory and non-conpulsory pilgrimage of people to the Three Sacred Majhids \|- \|Dicastery of the Inquisition of Hiraam \|Investigates and brings charges concerning breaking of the canon law of Paxism to relevant authorities \|- \|Dicastery of the Veneration of the Martyrs \|Investigates claims of martyrdom and recommends candidates for recognition \|- \|Dicastery of the Sacraments \|Oversees the proper execution of religious rituals, ceremonies and practices and observance of holy days \|- \|Dicastery of the Holy Sanctuaries and Holy Relics \|Oversees the construction, preservation and protection of Majhids and other religious sites excluding the Three Sacred Majhids which are under the custodianship of the Sultan of Packilvania.
