Touccio's second student Magnus was, like his elder brother Sarcon, a mason by trade. Apprenticed to the master mason commissioned by the founders to build new smithies to Touccio's specifications, his Gift was noticed by Touccio himself, who immediately took him on as his apprentice in 197, one year before the official founding of the Cholaeic Order. He was declared mage in 213, after fourteen years of study under both Touccio and his elder brother Sarcon.
Like Sarcon, Magnus was found to share Touccio's idiosyncratic magical strengths and limitations, a fact which did much to convince the Order that the Touccian Gift was a separate and distinct form of magical talent peculiar to the artisan classes. Unlike the other members of his House, however, Magnus enjoyed travel, and he often absented himself from Evasendia to scour the surrounding countryside for new techniques and skills. In 219, he returned from one of these expeditions with two boys, childhood friends, both of whom he took on as his apprentices.
During the Evasendian civil strife of 230, Magnus supported Tyrus' faction, for whom he created enchanted devices and weaponry in spite of Touccio's prohibition on such activities. He was killed in the anti-mage uprisings of 232. His two students, Balbo and Scaurus, survived the massacre, after which their training was completed by Sarcon's filius Cyril. It is through them that the majority of House Touccio descends.
- Balbo (T7a), from 219 to 232
