Sitting proudly atop one of the largest inhabited
floating islands in the world, the physical manifestation of the campus itself is an icon of what the Academy of Arcane Sciences stands for.
A moving island
Impossible towers turn with precise engineering to cut through the clouds and gently steer the direction of
Academy Island as the entire school slowly travels to its next magical field study. Mages use their combined wind
magic to turn giant propellers as a navigational aid.
Fields of study
The academy teaches all forms of
magic as part of their curriculum and their core classes are essential for use with specialized fields of study.
The campus does not follow conventional teaching methods or follow a strict "course" structure (aside from the fundamentals of magic), instead, students are guided through opportunity to find their calling and are given tuition based on what they wish to achieve.
The Academy has produced many fine
magicians, physicians, airship pilots, inventors, architects, and mathematicians - all of which are world-renowned and the best in their field.
Imaginative applications
Students hoping to apply to the academy to specialise in magic and the visual arts are encouraged to seek other establishments unless they can provide a compelling and creative reason for studying here.
Schools of magic
The academy offers teachings in all 12 recognised magic types (which are paired to form six overarching "schools" of magic known throughout the world).
The Arcane Island periodically sails like an
airship to different climates to give students the opportunity to acclimatise to different environments and study magic from other cultures.
Ooo, I wish I could go here. I love that they have a non-traditional teaching method.
Yay! What kind of magic do you think you'd study there?
Aquaboreal for sure. :D
