The Magi Academy
The Magi Academy is a venerable old castle that has been renovated for our usage as our campus. There is a main hall upon entrance into the Academy, and two sets of staircases that lead up to the classrooms and laboratories, and offices; and the other that leads to the dormitories.
On the first floor you will find the massive, sandy floored Magi Arena. The arena itself is heavily warded to control the magic that is cast within. It is probably the safest place in the area to cast and practice your magic. All academy students have keys to the arena, in order to practice or duel there at any hour of the night or day. The arena floor itself is soft sand.
The second floor holds not only a large office of the Head Mistress, with a small balcony off of it, as well as a suite of rooms where she resides when on campus; but several nicely appointed rooms for visitors or traveling adjuntant faculty.
There is a massive library, slowly growing through the work of the Head Mistress to obtain tomes and scrolls from all areas of the known worlds, both past and present. The high ceiling is domed and enchanted lamps sit upon each study table as well as are ensconced upon the walls. Rows upon rows of shelves sit in a circle around the walls of the room, and the study area is in the center.
Each student who wishes to reside on campus, or have a place to crash after long nights of study, is assigned a dorm room which is appointed with it's own bathroom, a double bed, a couch and chair, a desk, and a bookshelf. All meals are taken in the dining room, and we have amazing cooks to provide for us here in Eldon Heath.
Dorm Room
The grounds of the Academy are expansive and beautifully tended. There is a lake, a small lily pond, various gardens, a forested area, and a greenhouse.
Enchanted with:
Proof from Teleportation: For security reasons, and because Mela did not need outside people porting in to areas not secured, one could not teleport, gate or use dimensional doors to get into the tower. Now, once inside, magic could be used and even used to get out....but to get in, you must walk through the doors.
Damage Absorbing Arena: The arena absorbs all damage done during mage duels to the floors, walls, ceiling or anywhere else, and it "self heals" itself directly afterwards.
Control Wild Magic: The arena (and in fact the entire academy) is enchanted to control any magic from getting out of hand. It is the safest place to practice new magic, as the arena and walls itself will absorb stray magics or magic that goes wild and wrong.
Healing Orb: This is a white orb the size of a basketball upon a small pillar has been installed on the side of the magi arena. The orb can be lifted from the pillar and moved it needed. A touch from the orb sends a blast of white, positive, healing energy through the body of the person that touches it, healing all wounds gained through mage dueling. It is not automatic, since some wish to suffer with their wounds or self-heal, one must choose to touch it to gain it's healing powers. Though, Mela can trigger a mass heal with it if she desires, to heal those on the sandy floor.
