I'm so depressed, I can't even blink.

quote:

I followed them down the hall and across the Academy campus to a building that was rarely used. There were nearly fifty masked people assembled, although the three that had brought me into the society were the only ones wearing the silver skull pendants. I later learned that these were the leaders of the necromancers. They had set up an altar with candles burning all around it. The body of a dead deer was placed upon it for all to see. I watched in amazement as they raised the animal from the dead! It looked hideously deformed, but it was still able to walk around among us afterward. Our identities were kept secret from each other throughout the night.

We gathered once a week from that night forward. During my time at the Academy, I never learned the identities of any of my fellow secret society members, and only the silver skull-wearing necromancers knew mine.
(Necromancy +15)

My Summoning class was always interesting. We learned to create protective circles and to bring forth all kinds of animals, demons, and elementals from various planes. It was important to maintain control of the creatures that were summoned. I had a really difficult Summoning assignment during my first year.

I cheated by going into the woods and catching a rabbit. (Needs 10 Nature)
I cheated by using George, my rat.
I studied really hard, at the expense of my other classes.
I didn't even bother to try.


Focusing on a single class will raise our stats in that branch of magic and let us pass, but will lower our stats in the other branches.

Not trying means you won't graduate and get you wizard robe.

I cheated by using George, my rat.

I said a bunch of mumbo jumbo, then George jumped out from under my desk. My teacher was quite impressed with the way I could make the rat do whatever I told it. I passed with a really good grade. I actually learned a bit of Summoning too, as I had to know exactly how a summoned creature would act.
(Summoning +10)

Igor and I spent a lot of time together. It was nice to have a friend at the Academy.

We liked to pull pranks on the teachers.
We spent all our time studying.
We liked to bully the other students.
We started a business to earn some extra money.
We volunteered in the school infirmary.
We studied weaponry together.

Many wizards needed facts checked, which entailed going through many tomes with painstaking carefulness. It was a lot of work, but we made some money and even learned some things.
(Gold +30, Arcana +10)

One of the new subjects that we had to study at the Academy was Arcana. This included everything from the theory of magic to magical artifacts. We learned about the nature of reality and how our mystical energies were able to change the very fabric of existence.

It was tremendously exciting, and I was an apt pupil.
A fifth-year student sold me a potion that helped me concentrate better in class.
I had trouble sitting still through the long lectures. I wasn't much of a bookworm.
