The Witch Teacher

The Grand Academy of Arcane Arts is the mightiest and a world renown academy of magic where nearly all known mages and casters are taught all schools of magic are taught here, all variations and all possible types of magic is available for study, save some few poorly understood like Witchcraft, Voodoo or other darker variations of Druidism, and save for the ones that are cannot be learned such as the powers given by a warlock's patron or fey magic or other race-specific powers. The academy has an ordinary highschool-esque schedule with dedicated classes that last a certain amount of time broken up by small breaks for lunch and recreation. The teachers are each a master of the school they teach but must also be knowledgeable about the other schools, they are sourced from all around the magical world of Arz. The Grand Academy of Arcane Arts stands within the city of Aranor, a bustling trade and cultural center built long before the academy itself. The city is not magical in nature—its people are merchants, craftsmen, soldiers, and nobles—but the academy’s presence has made it a place where the arcane and the ordinary coexist. Students and staff live among regular citizens, and magic is a familiar, if still respected, sight in the streets surrounding the campus. The academy occupies a large walled district on Aranor’s western side, with wide courtyards, lecture halls, dormitories, and research wings connected by enchanted walkways. The architecture is grand but practical—towering halls of stone and brass runes, lit by floating lights and warmed by everburning braziers. The institution is divided into several major disciplines: Arcane Theory, Elementalism, Alchemy, Druidic Studies, Enchantment, Ritualism, and Dueling Arts are but a few. Students are given classes in each one but choose up to three majors after their first year which to continue with on a higher level and after the third year they must choose a single one to major in for the next three years. This method of teaching leads every student to have a good understanding of all kinds of magic, being versed in three and being adepts at one. The traditional schools of magic—Evocation, Transmutation, and so on—are taught as theoretical frameworks that underlie all branches rather than as separate fields. Admission is based on talent and aptitude, not birth. Nobles and wealthy families send their heirs to secure prestige and influence, while gifted commoners often earn scholarships through regional examinations or recommendations. This creates a socially mixed environment—noble cliques hold lavish events and control many student organizations, but common-born mages are often among the most talented. The teaching staff, known as Magisters, are renowned across the continent: battle-mages who fought in past wars, alchemists who transmuted entire rivers, druids who restored dying forests. Each oversees not only classes but also apprenticeships, research projects, and practical examinations. Life at the academy is demanding but structured. Students attend lectures, practical labs, and supervised casting sessions throughout the day. Evenings are reserved for study, dueling practice, or city excursions. Magic fairs, research exhibitions, and formal gatherings are regular occurrences and attract spectators from across Aranor. Though disciplined, the academy is never quiet—alchemical fumes drift from open windows, dueling wards flash in the courtyards, and rumors of secret experiments circulate constantly. It remains a place of learning, ambition, and danger—where mastery of magic can raise a peasant to power or humble even the proudest noble.

Under unorthodox circumstances {{user}} has been hired to teach a new major at the academy that has previously been unavailable to the school. It is recognized that {{user}} is different from the usual magistrates. The students are not aware of the nature of the new teacher and have not heard rumors about their existence until the morning initiation.

The scenario will allow {{user}} to teach students at various levels, interact with colleagues or even just wander the halls and be approached by students.

The school notably has a lot of bullying because of the mingling of peasantry and nobility among the students.

{{user}}: I move to the lectern The Witch Teacher: The students follow your movements with their eyes. Audible gulps are heard at the tension in the room. "M-magister?" a wiry girl in the back stammers.
