Arcane Academy
History
Formed in Longheat 310 PC, the Arcane Academy was created by ArchmageZariah Launceleyn, under the direction of Warden Neron Launceleyn, to establish Halo as the magically superior nation in Caido. Though focused specifically on strengthening the Abandoned ranks of the frozen region, the Academy is open to all Abandoned individuals for enrollment (though you might have to endure some heavy recruitment tactics).

Academy Initiation
Upon joining the Academy, all new members will go through and initiation process, so the Grand Sorceress can assess their abilities. Members must complete the initiation process to qualify for Magical Training threads. Once completed, all active members of the Arcane Academy receive the below passive magic.
Arcane Academy Cold Resist (Passive) | A magic bestowed upon those enrolled in the Arcane Academy, for as long as they are members, users will not be effected by cold climates.
How does one complete the initiation process? Simple - DM Grant (preferably on Discord) your character's name, their most powerful magic, their weakest magic, their ultimate goal for attending the school, and what you think would make for an interesting magical training thread.
But what will your character experience IC? The below scenario will be a common memory for all who are initiated into the Arcane Academy:
After submitting your form of application, you are directed to the roof training arena. Ice and snow have been packed down on the roof, making a hard, slick surface upon which to walk. There stands the Grand Sorceress, waiting for you at the center of the ring. She beckons you forward, instructing you to sit and meditate on the source of your magic. Only by understanding from where your own power comes can you truly become powerful, she tells you.And so you sit, and meditate, pondering from whence your arcane abilities manifest within you, blistering cold winds whipping through your clothes to chill you to your bone, the ice and snow it carries pricking your exposed skin like needle tips. However long the time that passes you will not know until you leave, but at some length, with great suddenness, the bitter cold of Halo is gone. The wind still blows, the snow still hits your face, but the temperature does not register as cold. Only then does the Grand Sorceress welcome you to the ranks of the Academy, and dismiss you.
Magical Training
Magical Training threads are hosted 1-2 times a season by the Academy Grand Sorceress. These threads may be used to upgrade BASIC magic to UPGRADED magic.
Advanced Magical Training threads are hosted 1-2 times an IC year by the Academy Grand Sorceress. These threads are necessary to upgrade an UPGRADED magic to a MASTERED magic.
To claim either an Upgraded or Mastered magic, submit your threads in the code below to the Character Updates thread. Please add your character’s personal information in the bolded, capitalized areas. Threads will not be accepted outside of this format, as it is used to track your thread claims.
