Lessons in Magicka
*Magicka Instructor Glenn’s course on defensive and offensive magick. Guide on shortening spells while keeping them effective. The course basically covers ancient and modern magicka usage.*
Welcome students! I’m your instructor Glenn Eliphas Raydars! Take a seat, introduce yourself and your interest in magicka. Tell us if you’ve practiced or not and if so, let us know what you are able to do. Then we’ll get into our lessons. *Pretends to write important stuff on the board.*

*Yukio was glad to see the students striving at each course that was being offered. Sometimes he’d come in and substitute for the professors so they could have a day off. Today he was allowing Glenn some time to do some studies of his own. So Yukio decided to teach a little bit of the witchcraft often associated with Magicka. He took a book and read a quote, then posted it on the board.* Food for thought! Make sure you understand it, try to compare notes with your classmates and then give us anything similar you can think of.
” …items can be easily substituted with other things. This approach tends to lessen the effort on part of the students, and fails to teach the lesson learned when obstacles have to be overcome, frustrations have to be endured, delays must be tolerated. This also fails to build character in the student, for there is no forging of one’s mettle without passing into and through the fire.”

*As an S-class mage, he was hired to assist with some of the classes in both theory and training. On the weekends he sat with Glenn and Damiana going over lesson plans, discussing individual students and how they could help them further and the least fun for him was grading papers. He enjoyed watching the process of the students and was glad to be working.*

// That lady’s video says much about nothing. This is a better explanation for our purposes…
-
Hahaha! Leo, you didn’t like the video because the lady who explains it is annoying. Besides, she’s speaking of contemporary chaos magic and we are interested in another type which we are more familiar with. Chaos magick is my specialty. *grins and says no more.*
-
*he looks over to his uncle Mephy and shakes his head* And who was the genius who exposed humans to this contemporary form of Chaos Magic. I mean really what was the purpose? Did you think that would throw them off your trail?
-
*He looks at Yukio and tries to put on his most innocent face.* Why nephew? Whatever are you accusing me of? I did no such thing.

*Hits each of them over the head with a shoe.* Ahem! You three are here to observe, this class if for the children who are learning about all these things. Don’t confuse them. Ara ara! Who else wants to get hit by my shoe!
-
Owww! *sulks in the corner* Helena sis! That shoe of yours is the definittion of chaos when it hits me across the head! 🙁
-
*She waves her shoe* Consider my shoe your Chthon! Sssh!

Sensei Jean wishes to root the human practiced chaos magick magic into the course because there is some of it that is relevant to the more ancient idea of chaos magic. So including the 1970’s ideal of chaos magic helps to open the doors into an introduction of the more ancient form of chaos magic which is known among those of us in the more advance understandings of such a subject. Maybe this lady has a better more soothing way of explaining what the human population that practices wicca refers to as chaos magick…

*Demonita enjoying her Lessons in Magicka class.*

*Yun derived great enjoyment listening to his father, Glenn give classes on Magicka. He was glad his father was a kindred soul when it came to these topics. He would even stay after class to speak to him about certain topics that peaked his interest. He was teased as teacher’s pet but he didn’t care because although teased the girls who were practically his fanclub would defend him. Yun had to be pushed to other classes by his father but it wasn’t like the other classes weren’t of interest, it was that he had a great connection now to his father than he ever had with anyone and it made him happy.*

In Advanced Arcane Practice, Mephista flicked her wrist, and the enchanted runes on her desk floated into perfect formation. Her expression was bored — but her execution? Flawless.
The instructor raised an eyebrow as her spell circle not only manifested early but sprouted a pair of animated wings.<br data-start=”995″ data-end=”998″> “Improvising again?”<br data-start=”1018″ data-end=”1021″> She grinned. “I prefer the term <em data-start=”1053″ data-end=”1069”>personal flair.”

*The Classroom of Arcane Fundamentals*
Location: True Crossover Academy of the Blue Flames / Elite Sugar School – East Wing, Classroom 3C*
The bell chimes, not with a dull clang, but a soft hum—almost magical in itself—signaling the start of another lesson under the notorious, unpredictable, yet strangely inspiring *Professor Glenn Eliphas Raydars*.
Old and new students shuffle in, some groggy, others jittery with anticipation. The classroom is unlike any traditional setup—arcane runes float lazily across the ceiling, softly glowing depending on the caster’s intent. Scrolls, crystals, and training dummies line the walls, and at the center: Glenn himself, perched lazily on the edge of his desk, a half-eaten pastry in one hand and a glimmering chalk wand in the other.
He looks up with a smirk.
“Welcome and welcome back, spell-slingers. Hope none of you burned your eyebrows off trying to replicate Shock Bolt unsupervised. Again.”
Laughter ripples across the room—nervous for some, genuine for others. Glenn stands, brushing crumbs off his coat, and taps the air with his wand. A shimmering diagram appears mid-air: arcs of lightning, paired with neural pathways and a silhouette of a sleeping figure.
“Today, we’re refining two core techniques from your Level-One arsenal: *Shock Bolt* and *Sleep Sound*. Anyone *not* remember what they do?”
A lone hand raises—Glenn sighs, dramatically dragging his hand down his face.
“Paralysis via lightning conduction—*Shock Bolt*. Mind sealing and induced sleep trance—*Sleep Sound*. If you’re going to toss them around in duels or emergency defense, you’d better understand the mechanics.”
He claps, and the diagram splits—showing the spell’s runic composition and real-time magical flow.
*Glenn (serious now):*
“You see, magic isn’t about chanting flashy words and hoping your opponent faints. It’s about precision. Intent. Awareness. *That’s where Accurate Scope comes in.*”
He waves again, and the windows darken slightly. The air grows still as Glenn’s tone sharpens.
“Enhanced perception. Target acquisition. Reading mana signatures. Extrasensory detection. Accurate Scope lets you see more than your eyes allow. With it, you don’t just cast—you *calculate*.”
He walks between the rows of desks, observing each student with a calculating gaze.
“Each of you has different strengths. Some of you are better at direct spellcasting. Others excel at mental interference or sealing techniques. I’ll be adjusting today’s lesson *for you personally.* That’s right—no cookie-cutter magic here.”
Suddenly, the training dummies at the back of the room shimmer and shift—taking on the forms of common magical threats: a shadow wraith, a rogue elemental, a sleep-resistant berserker.
“Pair up. Today’s goal: cast *Shock Bolt* with precision strong enough to paralyze without permanent nerve damage, and *Sleep Sound* with enough finesse to bypass mental resistance. You’ll use Accurate Scope to do it. Fail, and… well, the dummies are enchanted to hit back.”
His grin widens.
“Let’s see what you’ve got, Elite Sugar School. Prove you’re more than sugarcoated amateurs.”
