The Institution of Magic

Welcome to the Venediso Institution. Venediso is located within the ancient forest of Amen and has thousands of spells binding the illusion that the grounds are nothing but open space which cannot be touched. Venediso is open to all species within the land as long as you, the students, can perform basic magic which meets the entry standards. Venediso praises students who can perform all types of magic although they are happy if the student, who always comes first, decides to learn and master one piece of magic fully. The Venediso Institution is praised highly by the High Council of Amen for regulating magic and stopping the students, when possible, from learning dark magic such as Necromancy. Students face regulated courses which last for eleven months and then on the twelfth month of the year they take their examinations (both theory and practical) in order to see if they have the power to complete their education, whether they should be removed from the institution or whether they will need to retake their lessons for another twelve months.

Lessons:

Illusion: Illusionist spells are perfect for those who prefer to escape a situation without violence or like to fool people with their magic skills. It can also be used to train those who wish to become warriors or even for practice by shopkeepers who wish to prevent people from tricking them using the same magical elements. The spells include manipulating the mind of the enemy and preventing their senses from having any knowledge of magical presence. It can be used for fear, charm and invisibility as well as optical illusions such as fake rain, fake creatures or even fake money.

Conjuration: Learning Conjuration allows witches and wizards to summon creatures from different realms to fight, or do their fighting, or even just to talk to. It also allows those who harbour the magical powers of Conjuration to create weapons with elements of magic hidden within. The subject of Necromancy, which comes under Conjuration, has been removed from the institution's educational range for nearly 350 years however you can, if you are very skilled, request an audience with the Headmistress and request that she allows you to take a book on Necromancy from the Teachers' Grand Library.

Enchantments: Learning Enchantments allows the witches and wizards to add magical powers to weapons and armour to help them with strength or resistance against other magical weaponry. It can also be used to enchant buildings or pieces of furniture such as windows, doors and curtains to prevent them from being breached by non-magical, or magical, entities. On this course you will generally be taught about how people can enchant armour and buildings to hide them from maps, from the common eye and how to protect them.

Mysticism: Mysticism is generally thought as the least-magical thing taught in the institution yet those who are talented in the arts may often praise their own abilities to look into the future and predict events - which are often wrong. Known events predicted by students, and teachers, at Venediso were the (2-G) 189 Year assassination of the Grand Duke Hellando and his fifteen Councillors. Because the magical abilities were so rare the guard Sergeant refused to believe the story and led his own leader into a deadly trap against merciless escaped convicts which instigated to 18th Civil War of Diagro.

Flying: Flying is the hardest skill to master within the institution because only three select wizards and a witch have the ability to fly and they were all educated by the same person - the first person to fly Derigolfe. Derigolfe, now deceased, was the One-Hundred-and-Forty-Seventh Headmaster of the Venediso Institution and is named, by many, as the greatest sorcerer to ever walk upon the land. Currently, only the Headmistress has the ability to fly and she will only teach students who are shown to master their worst subject.

Magical Order: Magical Order is considered the most boring part of the magical curriculum because it resembles a mixture of Politics and Law. Although the course itself contains no magic the students within learn endlessly about conflicts and political changes, including laws and leaders, throughout the history of this land. The last fifteen Grand Dukes, the leader's of the land, have taken this course and all passed the subject as Masters.

Dueling: The magical art of fighting. Calls in the Councillors chamber since the (6-G) 793 Year have requested that dueling is included in every witches and wizards' education otherwise they would succumb to the merciless wastelands that covered forty-percent of the Grand Dukes' land. It includes magical spells which aren't covered in any of the other lessons but the spells are only trained to injure an opponent and never to kill.

Restoration: This magical art is trained by the Arch-Healer of Venediso, the most powerful healer in the land, and he has never seen one of his students fail to meet his objectives of success. Restoration, within the institution, focuses on healing both hunger, health and the intelligence of the mind when people struggle to remember, or think, properly.

Teleportation: Those who choose to take teleportation are expected to pass within three months and then focus full attention on their primary subjects.

Character Sheet:

Name: Aaron Corwin
Age: Fifteen
Gender: Male
Lessons:

1) Conjuration

2) Dueling

3) Teleportation.
Appearance:

Items(2): The first item is a golden pocket watch. The outside of it has a beautiful spider insignia, while on the inside is the time, and on the other opening part is a small [yet incredibly detailed] drawing of a girl from his village, Lisa. [See Bio.] The other item he carries is in comparison, a rather simplistic silver necklace of a spider, which represents his family heritage to all.

Bio: First Part: History of the Spider Family. The Spider Family was originally started by his Great Grandfather, who was a note-able general and an amazing conjurer. During a key battle, the general surprised the enemy by riding in on a monstrous spider. This, along with his combat skills, led to a successful battle. This, along with several other key events, led to the General being a rather wealthy man. With all this money, he established the Spider Family, in honor of the great battle that helped lead him so high. For a time, the Spider Family was renown for their ability to combine Conjuration and Dueling. However, as time went on they slowly fell into obscurity, as no one as great nor as powerful as the original founder appeared. Now, the Spider Family is regarded as nothing more than a group of weak Conjurers with a lot of money and living on past Glories.

This had a large effect on the life of Aaron, a small village boy. His father was one of the few conjurers within the Spider Family still worth some note, and he was both feared and respected. No one wanted to step on his toes in a village of average citizens, so they avoided his son as well, to make sure not to incur the wrath of the Conjurer. It lead to an incredibly lonely life for Aaron, as only one person was ever brave enough to risk it an be his friend. An amazing girl by the name of Lisa, who treated him like anyone else. They were the best of friends, and despite his parents disapproval, they did everything together. Later in life, Lisa too was shunned for hanging out with the wizard, but that never drove the two apart. Instead, they were closer than ever when the winter of his 14th year struck. Lisa came down with a cold, and while he hoped she would recover, she never did. Instead, that winter claimed her life, as one of the coldest the village had ever had.

Completely engulfed in grief, Aaron locked himself away in the mansion, spending all his days studying conjuration. He had formed the belief that it was his fault, had he been a restoration mage, he could of saved her. But it was too late now, the only thing he could do was bring her back. For that, he would need Necromancy. So with this in mind, he spent hours locked away, studying through whatever Conjuration texts he could get his hands on. His parents found this to be very encouraging, as while they didn't know the reasons for his study, with Lisa out of the way, he had certainly become an avid learner. If he kept up at that pace, they would finally have a son to be proud of. So they left him alone in his grief, never poking too far for fear of breaking the dedicating their son had built up. They even went as far as to allow him to go to the Venediso Institution when he asked, they thought he could one day bring pride and fame to the family line, his Great Grandfather had.   

I, Aaron Corwin, hereby declare myself an honourable student at the Venediso Institution of Magic and promise to, here forth, secure my education through constant attendance, training and wisdom within lessons distributed wisely, and without trouble from myself, by those employed to work within our secure doors.
