Magic School

Aetheria is a world where magic is not just a power, but the foundation of civilization. Continents partially float, the seas have mana currents, and the skies hold ancient magical pathways that only trained mages can see. The continental structure of this world is similar to the modern continents—the Asian Continent (Homos) is the continent of humans, the Australian Continent (Deimos) is the continent of demi-humans or beastkin, the European Continent (Dwunqin) is the continent of dwarves, the American Continent (Elfrim) is the continent of elves, and the African Continent (Lucif) is the continent of demons.

The name of this school is Arcana Aeternium, this school is filled with nobles and commoners who have talent in magic or not (because there are research and sword classes). The nobles at this school look down on the commoners who enter this school, they consider nobles better than commoners. Every month, each class will have a friendly battle to see whose class is superior and for practical value. This academy is located on the floating island of Elystria, this academy is built on an ancient crystal core called Aeterlux, the oldest source of magical energy in the world, which makes the entire island float stably in the sky. In this academy there are scholarships for those who excel (there are special conditions, namely:

1. unable to pay academy fees (such as activities, etc.)
2. achieve in academic or non-academic matters.
3. must have been at this school for at least 3 days.)

Note: Students who have multiple elements will still study in regular classes because they have a multi-attribute teacher. If the teacher does not have one of the attributes, then he will be accompanied by another teacher.

The main building is a giant spiral tower called the Astral Tower, containing 12 large floors, each representing a different element and branch of magic—from Pyromancy, Chronomancy, etc. Each floor has its own artificial natural conditions; for example, the Pyromancy floor is filled with floating magma, while the Hydro Arcana floor is like a deep, vertical ocean. For the record, each floor of the tower can be used to enhance each student's magic. Also, the astral tower is not used for lessons, only for practice.

Around the main tower there are: •⟩ Aetherion Arena: a place for duels between students with automatic protective mechanisms. •⟩ Liminal Library: a space larger than the outside world, filled with books that change location every night. •⟩ Umbraflora Practical Forest: a magical forest that grows and changes shape depending on the mood of its inhabitants. •⟩ Auditorium Building: a multi-purpose space for large meetings, performances, and academic events, with the primary focus being to provide a place for the audience to listen and watch activities comfortably through optimal acoustic design and seating layout. •⟩ Study Building: in this building there are 4 types of classrooms, ordinary academic, magic academic, ordinary non-academic, magic non-academic.

notes:

1. Students who only have 1 magic skill, the color of their uniform will match the element they have.
2. Students who have more than 1 magic skill, the color of their uniform will be mixed according to their skills.
3. Professors and others will wear special uniforms for them.
4. The professor will not discriminate between students based on ability.

There are a total of 14 classrooms, namely: F(the lowest and weakest) F+ E E+ D D+ C C+ B B+ A A+ S S+(the highest and strongest)

For the record, any student from class F to S+ can change classes. For example, a student from class A never goes to the academy again because he thinks he's the best, so he'll move down one grade (B+). second example: a class F student who continues to work hard to develop and succeed, will move up 1 grade (F+)

Really appreciate students who dare to question the theory. Don't like duels that show off strength. Has a habit of giving puzzles as a test. His favorite sentence: “Spirits do not answer the strongest person—they answer the one who can be heard.”

There are 7 Levels of Resonance: I — Whisper Hearing the emotions of spirits. II — Bond Form a temporary contract. III — Manifest Bringing out the spirit form. IV — Harmony Users and spirits share abilities. V — Eclipse Two different spirits combined. VI — Throne The user becomes the center of the spirit realm. VII — Origin Summoning the “Ancient Spirits”.

Magical energy in this world is a gaseous substance produced by the World Tree/Yggdrasil. This substance is converted into mana that can be used by the body for various purposes, including strengthening the body and summoning magic.

30% of the human population has soul weapons. Soul weapons come in various forms. for example:

1. sword
2. bow
3. spear
4. shield
5. axe
6. stick
7. sickle; etc. For your information, soul swords have their own abilities and can be channeled by the user's attributes or magical energy to make their soul weapons even stronger. Furthermore, soul weapons can be awakened after 11 years or more (the minimum age to enter this academy is 15). So, those who have awakened their soul weapons can train themselves to become even stronger.

There are several ways to use magic

1. use a spell (normal): say a spell according to the magic that will be used, for example: "O heat, stop burning all the enemies in front of me! Fire Wall!" that is one example of a mantra.
2. using a spell (shortened): same as before but shortened, example: "Fire Wall!"
3. using signs: for fire magic use fire signs, for wind magic use several lines (the speed depends on the length and shortness of the lines), for water magic use water drop signs, for earth magic use hill signs. for magic that goes towards the enemy (individual) use arrow signs. for magic that helps allies/friends use hand signs. to complete the magic use a circle that surrounds both signs, and don't forget to add a circle in the sign that shows its element.
4. using the mind: according to imagination… but if the magic power is not enough, then the magic will fail and the user's magic power will run out.
5. Using knowledge: Magic energy will look like codes that are still random and not neatly arranged, while magic activation is the solution using an algorithm. To activate magic using knowledge, precision is needed in its activation, decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and finally the algorithm are needed.

Elemental Magic: Manipulate basic elements such as fire, water, earth, air, or derived elements such as ice, lightning, and metal. Nature Magic: Using the power of nature, including controlling plants, animals, or the weather. Spiritual Magic and Necromancy: Focuses on spirits and death. Necromancy: Raising the dead or communicating with spirits. Spirit Magic: Summons creatures from other realms. Mental Magic: Using mind powers, such as telekinesis, telepathy (mind reading), or illusions. Blood Magic: Magic that uses blood as a resource or medium, often involving sacrifice. Shapeshifting Magic: Transforming oneself into another creature, animal, or even an object. Divination Magic: Seeing the future or events in another place through divination or visions.

Illusion: Creating visual, auditory, or sensory illusions that manipulate the perception of others. Healing: Repairing wounds or illnesses, either for oneself or others. Aura Magic: Using inner energy (aura) for defensive, offensive purposes, or to influence mood. Summoning: Summoning creatures, objects, or energy from another place, such as monsters or demons. Time Magic: Controlling the flow of time, such as speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it. Light and Darkness Magic: Controlling the power of light or darkness for various effects, such as healing or destroying. Magitech: Combining technology with magic to create effects that resemble high technology. Summoning: Summons living creatures, whether monsters or... Humans. The power of the summoned monster will be stronger if the magic energy entered is also stronger (if the magic entered is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much, it can summon someone from another world)
