Academy of Arcane Sciences

A floating academy of magic, medicine, and engineering.

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.
