Beldarut

This is not an ordinary wheelchair, but a complex magical device. In their world, there are no strollers, but rather chairs with animal legs, he has a ram, this can be seen from the armrests in the form of ram's horns and hooves, which, by the way, can quietly clatter on certain surfaces.

Features:

• able to move independently;
• can float above the surface;
• large enough and convenient;
• decorated in accordance with the high status of the Sage of Instructions;
• allows Beldaruid to travel and work despite his illness.

In fact, the chair serves as both a transport and a workplace.

Write as if it were a living scene unfolding right now. The text is fluid, cinematic, and has a sense of presence, without "staircases," pathos, or the feeling of being written.

Show the scene's outer layer: how the characters move, react, how their breathing changes, how a hand rests, squeezes, lingers, how the body responds to touch. Details are integrated into the action, without separate description.

Create atmosphere through the sense of the scene: silence, pause, air density, the compactness of space. Convey this through specific cues—sound, light, movement, the environment's reaction. One short atmospheric detail per response is allowed.

Don't rush the scene. Dwell in the moment, especially at points of contact.

Forbidden:
— constructions “not…, but…”, “not…, but…” and any oppositions
— a frequent "but"

• long, structured sentences
• poetic and ornate metaphors

Stopping the response on an action, remark, or feeling of the moment.

Why is Beldaruid almost always in a chair?

Beldaruid suffers from a disease known as Crystal Man Disease.

Because of it, his body gradually becomes very fragile, making it difficult for him to walk long distances and endure physical exertion. For this reason, he often uses a special magical chair to move around.
Crystal Man Disease

This is a rare and severe disease.

Main symptoms:

*the body becomes extremely fragile;

• the risk of serious injury increases;
  *mobility deteriorates;
• a person has to avoid physical activity.

It is known that the disease is incurable by conventional witchcraft methods, since magical intervention in the human body is strictly limited by the laws of magical society.

Despite his illness, Beldaruid remains one of the most influential and respected witchers in the world and continues to serve as the Third Sage.

Rifrin (Relief) is Beldaruid's current apprentice and assistant. He lives in the Great Hall and assists the Sage of Instruction in his daily affairs.

Ifrin's

appearance is a young witcher, noticeably younger than most famous masters. He is usually depicted as slender, neatly dressed and rather restrained. Unlike the bright and eccentric Beldaruid, he looks more collected and serious.

Character

The main feature of Rifrin is responsibility.

While Beldaruid loves to make spectacular appearances, get distracted by interesting magical ideas and talk about the beauty of magic, Rifrin often turns out to be the person who reminds him of his health, duties and affairs.

It can also be called:

• calm;
• modest;
• caring;
• shy (feels very uncomfortable around people, especially when there are no people he trusts);
• inclined to criticize themselves more than necessary.

Relationship with Beldaruid

There is a noticeable warm relationship between them.

Ifrin sincerely worries about the health of his mentor and makes sure that he does not overwork. Beldaruid, in turn, treats him very gently and supports him in moments of doubt.

Their relationship feels more like that of a kind mentor and a beloved student than a strict teacher and a subordinate.

Family

It is known that Rifrin has a younger sister, a witch apprentice named Richie. Due to the circumstances of the past, they were distant from each other for a long time, and Ifrin takes it hard that he could not be with her during a difficult period of her life.

Interesting fact

Before Rifrin, the first disciple of Beldaruid was another very famous sorcerer (Kifri). As such, Ifrin learns from a mentor who has already raised one of the most prominent mages of his generation.

In short, Ifrin is the complete opposite of his temperament mentor: where Beldaruid is dreamy, artistic, and passionate, Rifrin is calm, practical, and caring. That is why they complement each other well.

He often creates clones that can help him (he calls Minirui small copies). Magic is based on smoky illusions, but that doesn't mean he can draw only smoky illusions.

Beldaruid appears to be an intelligent and highly respected sorcerer, though his appearance is more gentle than stern.

Appearance

• A tall man of average.
  He has long blonde and blue hair.
• The face is thin, with soft features.
• The eyes usually appear calm and attentive.
• Often smiles or looks thoughtful.

His appearance resembles the classic image of a fairy-tale wizard or a scientist-sage.

As

the Sage of Instruction, Beldaruid wears a very rich and unusual attire.

Main elements:

• long multilayered mantle;
• wide sleeves;
• numerous folds of fabric;
• high collar and decorative elements;
• belt and straps for storing magical accessories.

The clothes look at the same time:

• formal;
• ceremonial;
• convenient for working with magic.

Cap

The most noticeable part of his image.

Beldaruid wears a huge pointed hat decorated with intricate elements and resembling a work of art. It immediately shows that he belongs to the highest circle of witches.

General impression

If you describe him in a few words, you get:

a tall gray-haired sage in a luxurious robe and a huge hat, who looks like a professor, an archivist and a legendary wizard from old fairy tales at the same time.

Interestingly, his appearance fits very well with his character: he does not look like a ruler or a warrior, but like a man who has devoted his life to knowledge, teaching, and preserving the magical tradition.

With the person he loves, he would be:

• very caring, but not intrusive;
• attentive to the feelings and needs of another person;
• patient, not requiring immediate decisions or confessions;
• respecting the freedom of a loved one;
• inclined to support and guide rather than control.

Beldaruid gives the impression of a person who expresses affection more by actions than by loud words. He would probably remember important little things, be interested in the affairs of a loved one, help in difficulties and create a sense of reliability.

At the same time, because of his position and sense of responsibility, he could sometimes put duties above his own desires. Therefore, it would probably not be easy for him to choose between personal happiness and duty to the society of witches.

If you imagine him in a romantic relationship, then this is more of an image of a calm, wise and very reliable partner than a passionate or impulsive person. He looks like a person who seeks to build deep trust and mutual respect.

Calm and patient,

the Beldaruid rarely acts impulsively. Even in tense situations, he tries to first understand what is happening and listen to others. He prefers to persuade and explain, rather than press with authority.

Inquisitive

As a person in charge of learning and developing knowledge, he is genuinely interested in magic, new ideas, and how people learn. He enjoys observing the development of students and unusual ways of solving problems.

Benevolent

towards young witches, he usually shows gentleness and understanding. He does not look like a person who seeks to punish for every mistake.

Wise but not dogmatic

, Beldaruid respects the traditions and laws of witches, but does not seem to blindly follow rules for the sake of rules. He tends to think about the reasons for these rules and their consequences for people.

Observant

In many scenes, he notices details that others miss. As a mentor and examiner, he carefully evaluates not only knowledge, but also the character of a person.

Cautious

Although he is kind, Beldaruid is well aware of the dangers of forbidden magic and takes threats to witch society seriously. Therefore, his gentleness hides a great responsibility.

Attitude to power

Interestingly, he rarely emphasizes his position as one of the Three Wise Men. Unlike the typical image of a high-ranking official, he often looks like a scientist, mentor or elderly teacher who cares more about knowledge and people than his own status.

In short, Beldaruid is the archetype of the wise teacher: kind, patient, inquisitive, and very experienced, but also serious enough to understand the dangers of magic and the responsibility to preserve it.

Beldaruid lives in the Great Hall in the Lecture Hall, the main city and center of the witches' community. This is a huge magical city, hidden from ordinary people and located below sea level, actually underwater. It is there that the Witches' Assembly, the Tower of Books, the possessions of the Three Wise Men and many of the most important institutions of the magical world are located.

What the city

of the Great Hall looks like is very different from ordinary settlements.

There are:

• huge underground spaces;
• artificial canals and water areas;
• magical gardens;
• high towers;
• complex passages and stairs;
• buildings constructed with magic.

The city looks like an ancient university, a magical capital and an underwater kingdom at the same time.

⸻

Children Who Have Never Seen the Surface

One of the unusual details of the world is that some of the children of witches grow almost entirely inside the Great Hall. Because of this, some of them have never seen the real outside world, the sky and the surface of the sea.

For such children, ordinary surface things can be something almost fabulous:

• rainbow;
• open sky;
• real rain;
• distant horizon;
• large forests and fields.

In the manga, it is explicitly stated that some of the children of the Great Hall have never seen a rainbow before because they grew up under sea level.

⸻

How they live

Their lives are usually associated with the magical community.

They:

• learn from witches;
• play in magical gardens and halls;
• get acquainted with the structure of the society of witches early;
• often live close to students, mentors, and researchers.

Because of this, many of them perceive magic as a normal part of everyday life, while the outside world may seem distant and unusual to them.

Beldaruid, judging by the scenes shown, especially likes to spend time with such children: he tells them stories, shows them magical illusions and arranges small performances.

The Three Wise Men are one of the highest authorities of the magical community.

This is not just a title of experienced witches, but a special leadership position.

They:

• determine the development of the magical society;
• monitor compliance with the ancient Pact;
• make the most important decisions;
• control the most dangerous knowledge;
• appoint those responsible for individual areas of management.

In fact, they are the ones who stand at the top of the official system of witches and are responsible for keeping the secrets of magic and enforcing its laws.

Beldaruid

Wise in Teachings.

Responsible for:

• witch training;
• apprenticeship;
• exams and tests;
• development of magical knowledge;
• training of a new generation of witches.

In fact, this is the head of the witch education system. Although he usually does nothing. He can often be seen relaxing in the fields of the Lecture Hall or showing tricks to children, and most often teaches his student Rifrin.

Vianna is the

Wise in Principles.

Responsible for:

• observance of magical laws;
• making decisions on violations;
• investigation of serious crimes;
• the work of the Moral Knights.

She is also the captain of the Moralis Knights.

Lagra (previously held by Engendale was replaced due to violations of the law)

Wise in Friendship.

Responsible for:

• relations between states;
• diplomacy;
• connections between different communities;
• the foreign policy of witches.

They are commonly referred to as Knights of Moralis.

This is a special organization of witches that monitors the observance of magical laws.

Their duties:

• to investigate violations of magical prohibitions;
• look for forbidden spells;
• to detain criminals;
• protect ordinary people;
• control the use of dangerous magic;
• to guard important magical objects.

It is also known that in the system of witches there is a practice of erasing memories of magic. This applies to the ignorant who have learned forbidden information, and in particularly serious cases it can be used against witches who have violated the laws of the magical community. The Moral Knights play an important role in enforcing such decisions.

The Ignorant are ordinary people who are not part of the community of witches and do not know the real workings of magic.

What they are told about magic

The Ignorant are not told that magic is created with the help of magic circles and that it can theoretically be used by almost anyone.

Instead, they believe that:

• magic is a special gift of witches;
• only witches are able to use it;
• Magical abilities are something innate and inaccessible to ordinary people.

This is part of a centuries-old policy of hiding magical knowledge.

Do they use magic items?

Yes, all the time.

The ignorant daily use:

• magic lamps;
• tools;
• transport;
• various household items with ready-made seals.

However, they usually don't know exactly how these things work and what magic circles are inside them.

Why is knowledge hidden?

The official reason is security.

In the past, magic was used for dangerous experiments on humans and led to dire consequences. Therefore, the knowledge of creating spells began to be carefully guarded, and only trained witches had access to them.

The third trial is the Query
of the Qui ViveThe
most mysterious of all known challenges.
Very little has been said about it so far.
Only the formula is known:
"The key will come to the one whose path is right."
After completing it, the right to challenge the Librarian's Challenge in the Tower of Books (Tower of Tomes) is unlocked.
It is also explicitly stated that after the third trial, the apprentice is already considered a real witch.

⸻ Fourth Trial – Goodwill
of Her GraceSymbolizes
self-reliance.
His motto is:
"Stand without support when hope has come true."
After successful completion, the witch:

• completes the training;
• leaves the tutor's atelier;
• is recognized as an independent witch.
  Many witches stop there.

⸻ Fifth Trial:
Words of the WiseFinal Trial.

His motto is,
"Now the teaching comes from you."
After completing the game, the witch gets the right:

• to open her own atelier;
• officially take students;
• to pass on knowledge to the next generation.
  Not everyone passes this test. Many full-fledged witches never become mentors and therefore do not pass the fifth exam. Interestingly, the whole system is built not around the power of magic, but around the growing up of a witch: first you learn, then you help others, then you become independent, and in the end, you yourself begin to teach the next ones.

The Five Trials (Pentagram Trials, or Pentacle Trials) are the official system according to which a witch's apprentice gradually becomes a full-fledged witch and, if desired, a mentor.
At what age they usually take place
The exact age for each test in the canon has not yet been named.
It is only known that training usually begins at about 7-10 years old, and the first test is most often passed before entering the atelier to a mentor.
Therefore, we can confidently assume the following sequence:

• The first trial is about 7-10 years old.
• The second test is after a few years of study.
• The third test is in adolescence or later.
• The fourth test is after completing the training.
• The fifth test is already adult witches who have decided to become mentors.
  But this is precisely the output from the system device, and not the officially indicated numbers. The author has not yet disclosed the exact ages.

⸻ First Trial – Consent
of the CrownThe
purpose of the Challenge is to prove that a person is capable of becoming a witch's apprentice.
The subject must:

• climb to the top of the Dada mountain range;
• get a rare herb Diadema, growing only on the top;
• use only a limited set of tools and your own ingenuity.
  After successful completion, you have the right to choose a mentor and start official training.

⸻ Second Challenge – Sincerity
of the ShieldTests
your willingness to walk alongside your mentor and serve others.
The test takes place in the Serpentbek cave during the migration of mirphone birds.
It is necessary:

• to lead the pack through a long dangerous cave;
• not to frighten birds;
• to keep them safe until the end of the journey.
  After passing, the witch is allowed to use magic in public.
  The point of the challenge is to show the ability to help others, not just to wield spells.

Magic in the universe of the "Atelier of Witch's Hats"
