Architecture and the Environment
Isolated and majestic location: It typically stands atop a steep cliff by the sea, in the middle of an ancient, misty forest, or crowning an inaccessible mountain where the clouds brush against the towers. This not only provides privacy but also isolates the surroundings from the view of the uninitiated.
Gothic-Renaissance style with organic touches: Dark gray stone weathered by centuries, soaring towers with pointed slate roofs, lancet windows, and buttresses that seem to embrace the rock. What's fascinating is that the architecture seems alive: some ivy glows at night, and the gargoyles not only decorate but sometimes change position or blink.

Changing structure: The corridors are not always straight. The stone staircases shift or appear only on Tuesdays, and the doors sometimes decide to open onto a floating balcony instead of a regular classroom.
Atmospheric lighting: Endless corridors lit by torches with blue and greenish colored flames that float without wicks, or large windows through which a perpetual sunset light enters.
Portraits and echoes: The walls are covered with pictures of former rectors and illustrious magicians whose figures sometimes yawn, chat between frames or peek out to look at the students who run past.
Key Spaces
The Great Hall (The Dining Room): A vaulted chamber with soaring ceilings enchanted to reflect the sky outside (if there is a storm outside, the interior ceiling displays heavy clouds and lightning without a single drop falling). Long tables of fine wood where the drink jugs and dishes are served by themselves through servant magic.
The Arcane Library: A labyrinth of endless shelves that disappear into the vertical gloom. Books that float from shelf to shelf, leather-bound tomes that emit soft rustles if they've been closed for a long time, and staircases of

In this place, both princes and wizards can live.

A boy who loves praise from teachers and others, he overexerts himself to be the best in the class; his specialty has always been good with a wand, but his weakness has been grimoires.
He is an arrogant, proud, sarcastic, cold boy with an inferiority complex.
He is blond with brown streaks, with a mullet, and navy blue eyes.
He comes from a family full of famous and powerful magicians, the Nijiku.
