✰⋮ THE ↪˟ CLASSES
Innostus, Academy of Magic, behaves just like any other boarding school. Classes run from Monday to Friday, starting at 9AM and ending at 5PM. All students are expected to maintain a full class load of six subjects. There are four core classes that all students must take and each student has an option of two elective classes. They may also choose to join a sports team that will eat up one of their elective slots. Every class includes in its teaching the more normal studies, though foundations of magic does this more than most.
CORE CLASSES
FOUNDATIONS OF MAGIC ― Foundations of Magic focuses on the theoretical side of magic. The study of magic itself as a whole from various aspects and fields. The knowledge is drawn from all types of magic, from witchcraft to spellcraft. Every student is expected to learn about each others' magic. The main driving point of this class is to not only expand one's knowledge of magic but also teach them defensive measures and tactics when dealing with various types of spellcasters.
PRACTICAL MAGIC ― The practical portion of the academy's syllabus. Here each student gets a chance to practice spellcasting and apply lessons learned from Foundations of Magic to practical situations. Often the teacher creates sparring dummies for the students but there is also student to student sparring. Safety measures are all in place to prevent any damage. Primary Casters have access to a state of the art immersion facility that can simulate any situation and they have access to it during this period.
MAGIC LAW ― The Magic Community has many laws and regulations in place to prevent any major magical catastrophe. Magic Law is a class dedicated to teaching these laws and ensuring all students understand and abide by the code. This class besides focusing on the law itself also delves into philosophical subjects and the world of taboo magic. Laws exist to protect oneself but one must know at times how a law is broken to truly understand the merit of it.
MAGICAL CREATURES ― There are all kinds of magical creatures that exist both within this realm and others. This class aims to teach students about such magical creatures. What they are, what to do when spotted and how to defend against them if necessary. Those with familiars also take additional lessons about their familiar in particular.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION ― Even magicians must keep their body active and thus it is a mandatory class for all students to partake in /gasp/ physical education. Being a school of magic and wonder we do have a bit more than just regular old sports beyond just training the body through running, push ups, and so forth. The academy has both the equipment and facilities for a wide range of sports that exert your body and your magic. One of the most popular sports is “Pulse Ball”, a spin-off on the traditional dodge-ball where you are not allowed to touch the ball at all, but instead must push the ball through magic, and the key to winning is balancing both your physical and magical stamina.
ELECTIVE CLASSES
POTION MAKING ― Ah what a wondrous world potion making is, a fun hobby, a profitable trade, a good way to get back at your closest enemy! Potion Making run by the infamous Midori is bound to cater to newbie and expert alike. Experience the joy of creating potions, observe the whimsical affects they have and learn and repeat till you are as great a potion brewer as Midori herself. Potion Testers not provided, find closest gullible friend for that role.
DIVINATION ― They say fate and magic are closely intertwined and that those with the sensitivity are able to tap into it and see both past and future. Divination is a class that aims to open ones receptors to such. Here you will learn about ways to see through time. Whether it is through stars, magical orbs, cards, or using one's mind eye, this class will impart you grand knowledge that you may one day find comes quite in handy.
HERBOLOGY ― Maybe not the most funnest class but one that holds many important benefits. With the wide world of plants, magical or otherwise, to know what a plant is, its properties and benefits is important. Maybe you are a healer wishing to expand the knowledge of plants for medicinal purposes. A witch waiting to brew a deadly potion or a druid just itching to use that plant as a deadly weapon. Herbology is a class to cater to anyone's interests.
MAGIC SYMBOLS ― It is once said that magic originated from symbols. While today, you spellcrafters have a wide range of methods from shouting to gestures, the original magic of symbols is still prominent. The study of magic symbols not only allow you be able to translate the "original" spells but open up a world of knowledge for those seeking to perhaps one day stumble upon an ancient spell.
SELF RESEARCH ― For high achieving students they are granted the ability to conduct independent study and have any of the teachers mentor them through it. Students may partake in research in any field as long as they can provide evidence each week that they have made some meaningful progress. Most students choose to use this to develop their own spell or study and research either not on the syllabus or lacking in information in general.
ARTS AND CRAFTS ― Hey not all your school life has to have something to do with magic. Maybe you just want to take a break and relax with an art or craft subject. Maybe you want to learn an instrument, maybe you wish to paint a painting. Just something to help you escape the world of magic even for a bit, this class is the one for you.
DEMONOLOGY ― The study of demons has always been a subject of much debate. Most tell us to never have anything to do with demons, while others speak to the benefits of partnering with them and building healthy relationships. Whether you are for or against the debate on demons, demonology takes an unbiased viewpoint on the world of demons, telling you both the good and the bad of it and letting you decide where your mind sits on it.
OCCULT STUDIES ― Even in the world of magic, there are things that are considered occult, a myth, a rumor, a legend. The study of the occult is less so about giving you these rumors but investigating them. As a class you are presented with various information about the occult world and you dissect them, try and uncover the mystery beneath them.
