Alchemy
Often seen as the most socially prestigious of the magical arts (though Ritual and Duelling are close seconds). It became the most distinguished and respected magical form in the 1600s.
Most commonly taught at Schola followed by an extended apprenticeship, but more practical alchemy and potion making are also a significant part of the Alethorpe curriculum.
