UNIVERSITY HANDBOOK
Students must study a minimum of four subjects in the first two years. Second-year students drop down to two subjects, one of which will become their specialist subject and their sole focus for third-year.
Wardscraft: This covers protective and defensive magic, including the creation of shields and wards, counter-curses and spell-breaking. You will be taught various techniques for magical concealment, such as invisibility and silencing spells. The basics of dueling will also be covered, with a focus on evasion and deflection.
Glamour: Students will learn how to create temporary illusions strong enough to deceive all five senses without impacting the physical world. Perfecting Glamour magic will enhance your understanding of spellcasting in general, as well as developing a practical skill with infinite applications.
Conjuration: The creation of objects, creatures, and magical effects wholecloth from nothing is one of the most fundamental and most challenging branches of magic. In this subject, you will learn a range of innovative techniques to improve your conjuring.
Potionscraft: If you dream of brewing potions powerful enough to transform yourself or others, heal injury or disease, or create other spectacular effects, then this is the subject for you. You will learn the principles of brewing, the properties of rare ingredients, and the precise methods required to combine them for reliable results.
Transmutation: This deals with the transformation of objects and creatures. You will learn the intricacies of the discipline, its potential and limitations, and explore the ethical implications that come with changing the essential nature of a being.
Bestiamercy: This primarily covers the study of magical creatures, with a secondary focus on the magical enhancement of mundane animals. The course offers practical experience in taming beasts and caring for them. Students will gain a thorough understanding of a wide range of magical creatures, their habits and habitats. There will also be opportunities to engage in the creation of chimeras and familiars.
Vitalisation: If you are interested in pursuing a career as a healer this module is the ideal first step, giving a firm grounding in the fundamentals of healing and life-force magic. You will learn charms for mending minor wounds, cures for common ailments, and methods of rejuvenation for all living beings.
Floriacraft: A unique opportunity for admirers of Merwyn to follow in his footsteps across the same soil where the seeds of his legend were sewn. While due consideration is given to plants with magical properties, the cultivation of mundane plants through magical means is also given significant attention.
Divination: Students will learn both ancient and innovative ways of predicting the future and gaining insight through magic. You will explore mind-reading, spirit-travel and soul-mapping. While few will master these skills, the practice alone will sharpen your second-sight and improve your intuition.
Ethereal Theory: This area of study is focused upon uncovering and understanding the forces that underpin magical ability and perception. How does magic actually work? Why are some people able to use magic and others not? What limits - if any - are there to magic? While not all of these questions may be answered, students will study the theories and experiments of major magical theologians in an attempt to understand what can be understood.
Magical History: Students will study not only the canon of The Unparalleled Spellcasters and their enduring legacy, but broader history of spellcasters, and the evolution of magical practices and culture, over time.
Aeromancy: Students will study various methods of manipulating matter for the purpose of transportation. Including, but not limited to flight, teleportation and barrier passage.
