The college considered quiristry an art, encompassing both thaumaturgical processes as well as manual skills. It was unusual in operating facilities not only within the Academy grounds, but in the city itself. Paper-making, binding, ink manufacture, book selling, and all the other industries necessary for an academic city were intimately linked to the College of Quirists. They worked closely with the College of Archivists in producing rare records stored only in thaumaturgical form, as well as producing the day to day textbooks necessary for the operation of the whole Academy.

Throughout history, while books were mainly copied by hand or later using crude printing techniques, the College's master-quirists could exactly replicate any kind of book in exquisite detail, in a fraction of the time. Their resources were limited and the skill required was very high, so that the College concentrated on thaumaturgical works and important historic documents. Consequently quirist books were very rare outside Rasia.

Over time the commercial aspects of the college were superceded by private enterprises in the city, particularly in the manufacture of paper and ink, booking binding, and book selling. However the quirists retained an important status within the life of the Academy up until its fall.
