The House of Slow Magic is the highest governing body, government, and ministry of magic in the wizarding world.
This government body determines the entire magical economy, approves laws and coordinates international policy.

Key facts about Magestvo:

• Leadership: It is headed by Immortal Koshcheyev, an incredibly rich, malicious, and stingy sorcerer. He constantly weaves intrigues against Academician Sardanapal Chernomorov and the Tibidox School of Magic.

• Sports Committee: Within the Magestry, there is a sports department, headed by Count Kaliostrov. Together with a colleague named Tishtrya, they referee world dragonball matches and constantly try to sue the Tibidox team.

• Relations with Bald Mountain: The Mages of the Sick Magics primarily represent European/global power, while in Russia there are officials from Bald Mountain. These two structures are practically at odds with each other.

Bald Mountain is the main capital and bureaucratic center of the Russian-speaking magical world.

Unlike the Tibidox School, which is located on the secluded island of Buyan, Bald Mountain is a vast metropolis inhabited by mages, undead, and all manner of magical creatures. Academician Sardanapal Chernomorov spoke of it with apprehension, noting that the morals there are cruel, "you won't learn anything good there, and you can die quite easily." Bab-Yagun, meanwhile, succinctly compared the mountain itself to a bald spot.

The structure and life of Bald Mountain

• Magical Bureaucracy: This is where the ministries, departments, and officials to whom Tibidox officially reports are located. Local officials love to inundate the school with inspections, commissions, and new, absurd circulars.

• Culture and media: The Mountain is the media center of the magical world. The famous radio station broadcasts from here, and the main magical press is published (for example, the newspaper "Magvosti" with host Gryziana Pripyatskaya).

• A world of temptations and dangers: For young mages, this is a place of great attraction and risk. There are contraband markets with dangerous artifacts, entertainment venues, and dubious shops.

Type: magic television, information program (analogous to a news TV show).

Appearance: It's a television news program with anchors, correspondents, and a film crew. Among its ranks are Gryziana Pripyatskaya and special correspondent Venya Viy.

How it works: journalists gather information, conduct interviews, film reports, and prepare news stories. The materials are then broadcast, where they can be viewed by wizards.

Notable presenters and staff:
— Gryziana Pripyatskaya is the host of the news program.
— Venya Viy is a special correspondent and host of individual programs.

Features: Magvosts are similar to regular television news, but they cover events specifically within the magical community. Most of the programs are filmed on Bald Mountain.

1. Itchiness
   Appearance and Operation: Often described as a small magical device or dish that shakes, fogs up, and "feels" for the desired person or image.
   Functions: You can use it to communicate with each other (like a telephone), transmit news and listen to magical radio broadcasts (“magvosti”).
   How it works: When a message arrives, the itching device begins to irritate its owner with a characteristic itch, signaling the need for attention. Its equivalent in the world of moronoids (ordinary people): It performs the same functions as a smartphone and television in the real world.

2. Cupids
   Appearance: Small, plump winged creatures reminiscent of traditional cupids. They have small wings that allow them to fly. In the books, they are also humorously called "plump gluttons" because they take sweets for delivery instead of money. This can even increase their price.
   Purpose: Used as postal messengers, they deliver letters, notes, flowers, and other small messages between wizards.
   How it works: the sender hands the Cupid a letter or gift, specifying the recipient. The Cupid flies to the recipient and delivers the package. He demands payment for delivery in the form of sweets. He can also negotiate whether the recipient likes the sweets, whether they're too much or not. However, they aren't always very attentive: they can confuse the recipients and deliver the letter to the wrong person.

🚀 Basic flight spells.

— The Toropygus Ugorulus is the fastest and most dangerous. It's often used by mages eager to move to the Otherworld and by dragonball players.

Mechanics of witchcraft.

To cast a spell, a mage must fulfill three conditions:

— Verbal formula: Say the verbal part (for example, “Caravagaz pups!” or “Tibidokhs blyams!”).

— Gesture: Point the hand with the ring at the target (sharp swing or click).

— Concentration: Emit an internal impulse of power that will color the spark the desired color and activate the ring.

During duels in the arena or in dragonball, the sky literally blooms with hundreds of intersecting green and red sparks, and experienced mages can identify an opponent's spell even before it reaches them, simply by the shade of its sparks.

Sparks (Color and nature of spells).

Each spell cast from the sorcerer's ring is visualized as multicolored sparks or rays. The color of the spark is the primary indicator of the nature of the magic and the caster's intentions.

— 🟢 Green Sparks (Light Magic): Symbolize creation, protection, and healing. These are the sparks of most household, defensive, and healing spells of the Light branch.

— 🔴 Red (and maroon) sparks (Dark Magic): Symbolize destruction, aggression, the evil eye, and damage. These are the sparks that fly from the rings of Dark Magic students during duels or mischief.

— 🟡 Yellow sparks: Neutral, most often purely technical or construction magic, not carrying any clear good or evil.

— 🔵 Blue and Purple Sparks: High combat magic, strong mental shields, or complex spatial spells.

— ⚫ ​​Black Sparks: Necromancy and pure Darkness. The most dangerous form of magic, capable of destroying living souls and raising the dead (Gleb Beibarsov's signature).

— ⚪ White Sparks: Highest sacred white magic (Sardanapalus level), capable of resisting the Darkness itself.

Rings (Magic rings).

Unlike the Harry Potter universe, where magic is wand-based, the wizards of Yemets's world use magical rings worn on their fingers. A ring is more than just jewelry, but a complex resonator and conductor of inner power.

— Purpose: The ring focuses the mage's inner energy and transforms it into a targeted spell. Only a few (for example, the necromage Gleb Beibarsov or the most powerful teachers) can cast spells without the ring. An ordinary student without the ring is practically helpless.

— Activator stones: The magical effect depends on the stone. For example, light-minded mages often wear rings with semi-precious or precious stones in light shades, while dark-minded mages wear rings with darker ones, such as obsidian or black agate.

— Named and ancient artifacts: The rings of great mages possess a mind of their own. For example, the ring of Theophilus Grotter (Tanya's grandfather) possessed immense power, and the rings belonging to Chuma-del-Tort could bend the will of their owner.

All magicians have rings. But the designs are different.

1. Practical Magic (Professor Klopp).
   Lesson Summary: The most terrifying subject for beginners, Klopp forces students to practice combat, transformation, and everyday spells.
   Characteristics: During Professor Klopp's lectures, sparks constantly fly around the classroom, desks explode, and students regularly turn green or start croaking. Klopp loves to call those who aren't prepared to the board and practice his devastating evil eye on them.

2. Removal and application of evil eyes (Zuboderikha / Great Tooth).
   The essence of the lesson: A core subject of the Dark Department, but also attended by Light mages (for protection). Students are taught how to cast hiccups, curses, and itches, and, most importantly, how to remove them correctly and quickly.
   Special Features: Dental picking requires sharp, precise hand movements. A single centimeter of error and the evil eye spell flies not at the training dummy, but at your deskmate.

3. Magical piloting and dragonball (Nightingale O. The Robber).
   Lesson Summary: Physical education classes in Tibidox are held exclusively in the air. Nightingale the Robber teaches students how to push-start vacuum cleaners, maneuver mops, balance in a mortar, and dodge attack spells.
   Special Features: The most dangerous subject. For seniors, these lessons gradually evolve into rigorous training sessions for the school's dragonball team.

4. Mythology (Medusa Gorgon).
   Lesson outline: Studying the history of the magical world, the origin of the undead, gods, titans, and the rules of conduct when meeting them.
   Features: Iron discipline reigns in Medusa's classes. If a student makes noise or sleeps, Associate Professor Gorgonova can momentarily remove the camouflage charm from her snakes on her head or paralyze the offender with a stony stare.

5. Veterinary magic (Centaur Tartararakh).
   Lesson Summary: Studying the anatomy, habits, and healing methods of magical creatures—from swamp goblins and mermaids to huge fire-breathing dragons.
   Traits: Lessons are often held outdoors, near the enclosures or in the swamp. Centaur Tartararakh may forget he's a teacher in the middle of a lecture and start neighing loudly, stamping his hooves, or urging the students to race.

6. History of magic (Academician Sardanapal Chernomorov).
   The essence of the lesson: The head of the school personally gives lectures on the great mages of the past, the balance of the forces of Light and Darkness, and the creation of fundamental artifacts.
   Features: Sardanapalus's lessons are the most calm and engaging. The academic often illustrates his stories with vivid illusions, and during his lectures, his beard can take the shape of castles, dragons, or historical figures.

Dangerous Library: Preparing for lessons in the Tibidox library is a separate quest. Books bite, fly to the ceiling, and a bent page can trigger an oriental curse from the djinn Abdullah.

A magic point instead of notes from parents: If a student is injured in class (for example, their ear is torn off or they become covered in fur), Grandma Yagge at the magic point will restore them to their former appearance in a couple of minutes with healing potions. Therefore, faking an illness in Tibidox is impossible.

Team composition.
The positions of the 10 field players are strictly divided into roles:
— Goalkeeper (1 person): Protects their dragon's mouth from incoming balls. This is the most dangerous position, as the goalkeeper is most often attacked by spells and knocked off course.
— Defenders (2 people): Powerful mages (for example, Gunya Glomov in the Tibidox team), who cover the goalkeeper and act as living battering rams to push away the opposing attackers.
— Midfielders (3 people): Versatile players responsible for intercepting balls in the center of the field and organizing attacks.
— Attackers (4 people): The fastest and most maneuverable pilots, whose only task is to catch flying balls and accurately throw them into the mouth of the enemy dragon (Tanya Grotter and Guriy Pupper excelled in this position)

Team Dragons.
Dragons in dragonball are not just gates, but full-fledged, intelligent participants in the match, with their own character and defensive tactics.

Team.
Tibidox's team is Gorn. A huge, ancient three-headed dragon. It has a nasty temperament and is incredibly lazy, but in the heat of a match it becomes a formidable defender. The heads can fight among themselves for the right to devour a player.
Mugford Team (England) - McKinley. A highly bred Scottish dragon. Distinguished by his iron discipline, impeccable reflexes, and aristocratic demeanor. Almost impervious to deception.
The Invisible Team – Shmyg. A special invisible dragon (or one enchanted with a camouflage spell). Opponents have a hard time throwing a ball at him, as they have to literally find his mouth by touch or by the smell of sulfur.
The Babayev team is Hali-Gali. An eastern dragon, accustomed to harsh conditions. Very aggressive, it snarls fiercely at any attempt to approach its mouth.

Dragonball is the most popular and dangerous team sport in Dmitry Yemets' magical world. Matches take place exclusively in the air, using flying machines (vacuum cleaners, double basses, brooms, mortars) in a special stadium, with live dragons serving as the goals.
The main goal is to throw balls into the gaping mouth of the opposing team's dragon. Once the dragon swallows a ball, it explodes inside, releasing the magic encoded within.

Dragonball balls.
The game uses five balls that fly around the field simultaneously. Each has its own color, value, and effect on the dragon:
— Stupefying (blue, 1 point): Causes the dragon to temporarily lose its mind. The maddened monster begins to swallow everyone in sight: players on its own or the enemy's team, and even unsuspecting spectators.
— Sneeze (purple, 2 points): Causes the dragon to sneeze incessantly. This causes it to open its mouth wide for a long time, making it much easier for opponents to throw other balls.
— Flame Extinguisher (White, 3 points): Completely blocks the dragon's ability to breathe fire until the very end of the match, depriving it of its main defensive weapon.
— Pepper (red, 5 points): Causes a terrible burning sensation in the lizard's stomach. This causes the dragon to retreat and vomit out all the living players it has previously swallowed.
— Immobilizer (gold/with a tail, 10 points): The most valuable and heaviest ball, which, when hit, temporarily paralyzes the dragon.

Basic rules.
Composition: There are 10 players and 1 dragon on the field from one team at the same time.
Magic: Players are allowed to use combat and defensive spells against opponents (but they must be non-lethal).
Victory: The match is played until one team reaches a fixed number of points (usually 50 or 100 points depending on the tournament regulations) or until there are no more balls left.
Affected: Players swallowed by the dragon do not die due to protective spells, but are eliminated from the game until they are "freed" by a Pepper Ball.

There is no fixed number of dining tables in the Hall of Two Elements, as the hall is magical and transformable. However, its structure is strictly regulated: the hall is divided by an invisible (and sometimes fiery) line into two halves—light and dark.

Students sit at massive antique oak tables:

— Tables on half of the light section.
— Tables on half of the dark section.
— The teacher’s desk is located at the end of the hall, perpendicular to the students’ desk.
— The graduate students' desk is located opposite the teacher's desk.

Magical food is delivered to these tables by Two from the chest, identical in appearance, who each time spread out self-assembling tablecloths anew on the oak tabletops.
In the world of Tanya Grotter, self-assembling tablecloths are divided into types based on the quality and variety of food they dispense (which, by the way, they actually teleport/steal from the world of ordinary moronoid humans):

— Standard (school-wide) tablecloths: They are laid out in the Hall of Two Elements. A classic, tasty, but familiar meal is served: buns, kvass, sandwiches, dumplings, and soups.
— Festive (elite) tablecloths: Used during banquets, weddings, and visits by foreign delegations (for example, the Mugford team). They provide a backdrop for exquisite dishes, chocolates, pastries, and delicacies.
— Damaged (flawed) tablecloths: Defective or old artifacts. A prime example is Vanka Valyalkin's personal magic tablecloth. It was damaged (flawed) and, due to a magical malfunction, yielded nothing but cold cutlets and pickles. He was forced to subsist on them for years.

Living and Study Areas: The third floor of the Great Tower houses the students' dormitories, and the classrooms are constantly being rebuilt. The school's walls are adorned with Black Curtains, which can eavesdrop, chuckle sarcastically, and comment on what's going on.
The Vanishing Floor: The mysterious fourth floor of the Great Tower. It operates on its own schedule, appearing and then vanishing into space along with everyone on it.
The Staircase of the Atlanteans: Located in the Tower of Ghosts, the steps of this staircase are supported by enormous stone titans. If a traveler doesn't know the password or is disliked by the Atlanteans, they can simply throw them down.
The Hall of the Two Elements: The main ceremonial room where feasts, assemblies, and the first-year sorting ceremony take place. Real storm clouds hover beneath its ceiling, and the floor can transform.
The Tibidox Library: A vast library guarded by the jealous djinn Abdullah. The books here are alive: they bite, fly, spit ink, and demand respect.
Cellars and Dread Gates: Dark, cold catacombs beneath the castle. They contain the Dread Gates, which contain ancient spirits of chaos and the undead. These cellars also house dragon enclosures and a hidden veterinary area.

Architectural chaos: The castle looks like a huge, squat city under a single roof, resembling a huge, inverted gray bowl, with towers, galleries, and passages attached in the most unexpected places. It is larger than the Moscow Kremlin.
Lava Moat: The fortress is surrounded by a deep protective moat filled with boiling volcanic lava.
Towers: Of the many towers, the key ones are the Great Tower (the four-story heart of the castle) and the Gothic Tower of Ghosts. Between them rises the tower housing the Hall of the Two Elements.
The castle's surroundings include a vast dragonball court, the centuries-old Lukomorye oak, a dense forest inhabited by wood elfs, a swamp with mermaids, and a pond. Nearby stands the Drevnir Gatehouse, divided in half.
Defense: The castle itself is protected by a force field that can be opened using Gadrik's Grail.

Plague-del-Cake (She-Who-Is-No-More)

Gleb Beibarsov
Gender: Male.
Age: 2-3 years older than Tanya.
Appearance: A pale, very handsome young man with a dark, aristocratic appearance. He has a hypnotic, heavy gaze from his dark eyes.
Personality: Cruel, domineering, secretive, insanely determined, and cynical. Ready to commit any crime to achieve his goals.
Why he ended up in Tibidox: Raised on Bald Mountain by a dark witch. He was transferred to Tibidox by the Mages as one of the most dangerous young necromages for Sardanapal's supervision.
