sorcerer

Sorcerer is a Russian educational institution where young wizards study magical arts. Sorcerer students traditionally participate in the World Potions Championships. It was one of the eleven schools registered with the International Confederation of Mages.
Despite the existence of other magical institutions in Russia, about 90% of young wizards and sorceresses go to the Sorcerer. The school is located in the Middle Ural Mountains, on the Copper Mountain, near the geographical border of the parts of the world Europe-Asia
. This is the only magical passage that works inside the mountain, but you can't get anywhere through it except to the island of Olkhon. The unique connection between the Stone Flower and the island of Olkhon is created and remains in a stable state only thanks to the Alatyr Stone, which is able to maintain such a powerful magical "tunnel" despite the pressure of the Mountain's magic. Any other magical methods of movement in the Mountain do not work.
The Search Test is a procedure for assigning children to the departments of the Russian school of witchcraft Sorcerer. The procedure takes place outside of school. The children are transported to the island of Olkhon in the middle of Lake Baikal: there they will have to find the Alatyr Stone in twelve hours. The eye of the sacred stone covers the entire island, sees every decision that the students make in their attempts to find it. Without knowing it, they demonstrate their thoughts, motivation, priorities to the stone, and the stone distributes them into departments on this basis.

Olkhon (Bur. Oykhon Aral) is the largest island of Lake Baikal, as well as the Alatyr Stone.
The island is 73.5 km long, up to 15 km wide, and has an area of 730 km². The permanent population is 1682 people, separated from the mainland by the Maloye More and Olkhon Gate straits. To the east of the island is the deepest place of Lake Baikal - 1642 meters. The territory of Olkhon, together with the adjacent islands, is part of the Pribaikalsky National Park.

Traditionally, the departure for the Poisk test takes place on September 1, after the solemn assembly in the Pomegranate Hall, which opens the school year. After the ceremonial part, all students of the 5th grade are gathered together and sent to the Gate of the Eastern Well, the well. As the ranks of fifth-graders pass through the corridors of the Wheel, they are escorted by the rest of the students lined up along the walls. Traditionally, people clap here, give a "high" and wish good luck. In groups, students go down to the Lower Fields. They are accompanied by future class teachers and all four head teachers of the departments.
In the Lower Fields, they are led to the Underground Courtyard, to the Malachite Floor, where the Master or Mistress of the Copper Mountain greets them and explains what the trial of the Quest is.
After finding the stone, the students gather in the common hall. Four deans of the departments stand in front of them and the director announces the beginning, the stones in the hands of each student begin to glow in different colors and the students approach the deans of the departments of the color that their stone glows, respectively: Svorog - Red, Yarilo - Blue, Hors - Gray, Dazhbog - Green.

Yarilo is one of the four departments/faculties of the Koldovstvorets School of Witchcraft. The flag is blue with a flower in the center.
They say that the Alatyr stone determines the place here for those who strive for freedom, and most importantly, the freedom to be themselves.
The distinctive features of Yarilo's students are:
• Will;
• Critical mind;
• Egocentrism;
• Independence;
• Independence;
• Freethinking.
Qualities
If you ask a random student in Yarilo's department about their childhood, they'll likely answer: "My mother wanted me to read books, but instead I stole my daddy's broom." Or: "We're a family of Aurors, and I realized at age five that Herbology was my thing."
At first, it might seem as if the Alatyr Stone has decided to gather together all the most stubborn children who act in defiance of everything and everyone. But upon closer inspection, Yarilo's students are united not by petty opposition or teenage rebellion, but by a deep (over time) understanding of what they want and what they need. And it becomes clear that the constant struggle is a stubbornness in achieving what they desire. These children know better than anyone: everyone chooses the best of what is possible. Everyone must protect their nerves and act as their impulse dictates. Or not protect them—if that's what their impulse dictates.
Contrary to popular belief and history textbooks, where great feats are often attributed to Yarilo's children, Alatyr does not select fighters, rebels, or revolutionaries. This is simply a consequence of the fact that Yarilo's children always strive for what is best for themselves (or others) and do not accept obstacles or limitations. It is not always a struggle: some find their best in pleasure, some in spiritual freedom, and some in freedom from societal pressure.
Yes, it's not always a struggle. But it is willfulness, passion, zeal, openness to new experiences, the ability to get what you want and desire more.
What they value most is freedom, and where it doesn't exist, they create it.

Hors is one of the four departments/faculties of the Russian School of Witchcraft Wizard. The flag is gray, silver with the image of a tree.
It is believed that the Alatyr Stone sends to this department those who are focused on success as the main guideline in life values.
The distinctive features of the students of the Hors department are:
• Ability to work;
• Foresight;
• Purposefulness;
• Ambition;
• Diligence;
• Ambition.
Qualities
In children sent to Hors, the motivation and needs are based on the recognition of their abilities, talents and personal qualities. In the Sorcerer, the positive aspects of these traits are cultivated, such as healthy competition, the ability to achieve one's goals, and enduring difficulties on the way to success.
"Through hardships to the stars" is the best description suitable for Hors students.
However, like any coin, success, as the main life value, has a shadow downside: hard-heartedness, the temptation to go over heads, the devaluation of things that are low-status and useless for greatness (and every student of Hors, without a doubt, strives for it). Moreover, each person is individual, and even those who were assigned here by Alatyr can be soft-hearted and insecure, which does not go well with the traditional intolerance of Hors to those who are not ready to develop and move forward.
Nevertheless, like any other department, Hors is home to diverse and different personalities, in whom the attitude to success manifests itself unpredictably in different ways and has a different impact on their character.
Students of this department become avid careerists, workaholics, people who fully devote themselves to their work in order to achieve their goals and make their dreams come true. These are the ones who will never be satisfied with less if they can get more; he prefers a crane in the sky to any in his hands; and does not accept stability instead of risky changes.

Dazhbog is one of the four departments/faculties of the Russian School of Witchcraft, Koldovstvorets. Its flag is green and depicts a sprout.
This department includes those who have the power to love and to devote their whole selves to love.
The distinctive features of Dazhbog students are:
• Empathy;
• Susceptibility;
• Intuition;
• Recoil;
• Inner strength;
• Insight.
Qualities
From the outside, an uninitiated observer would never guess what unites all these children gathered in one department. Quiet, loud, emotional, calm, erudite, and frivolous—Dazhbog's students share no common path, no common interest, no shared intention, which can be seen to varying degrees in other departments. Dazhbog's students are as diverse from one another in every way as is possible.
And this is their main similarity.
The Alatyr stone doesn't seek out the will to win, the endless drive to move forward, or the need for self-expression. It places only those children in whose souls the greatest strength lies: to love, freely and without barriers.
Of course, every student of the Sorcerer loves something or someone—it's a universal human quality. However, not everyone is ready to make love the primary essence, purpose, and value of their existence. Alatyr, however, states: Dazhbog chooses those who are ready to give their heart to another and accept another's heart. Translated into practical terms, this most often means that Dazhbog's greatest value is family, personal relationships with others, friends, and loved ones. It would seem that everyone would say this about themselves; in reality, few can make this their primary desire in life. Not everyone is given this gift. Not many can be content with this in life.
And even more so, besides the omniscient Alatyr, love, the main hidden value, unites Dazhbog's completely different students. Of course, there are traits they share—intuition, a great deal of inner resource.

Svarog is one of the four departments/faculties of the Sorcerer's School of Witchcraft. Its flag is red with a fire symbol.
This is a place for those students who strive to move forward relentlessly along the chosen path.
The distinctive features of students of the Svarog department are:
• Striving for self-improvement;
• Creativity;
• Broad outlook;
• Individuality;
• Creativity;
• Thirst for knowledge.
Qualities
The Alatyr stone is picky about who it sends to the branch named after its mythical creator, and therefore Svarog is considered the smallest branch of the Sorcerer.
Traditionally, children who come here, even at a young age, have a deep-seated need for continuous, ongoing self-development—mental, spiritual, and creative. Unlike the students of Khors and Dazhbog, who focus on external conditions for their comfort, the Svarog students, like the Yarilozh students, depend on their inner worldview. Svarog's students are unconsciously drawn to development of any kind and in any chosen field. "Development" can be interpreted in any broad sense—from manual labor to intellectual pursuits—but in any case, as the teachers know, these children need to constantly learn new things. For this reason, many Svarog students can be characterized as deeply extraordinary individuals, each in their own field.
Individuality, awareness of one's own path, and the search for it are the companions of the students of this department—simply because "development" is an endless road they travel ceaselessly. Forward movement, constant self-improvement or self-improvement, a voracious, fundamental desire to become the best version of oneself—this is the primary criterion for selecting the Alatyr stone for Svarog. For others, this may be merely an accompanying desire, but for Svarozhichi, it is the primary value in life.
Very often, Svarog's students become creators—any creative force is close to them, although each person chooses their own path to creation.

After the Trial by Search, the student is assigned a room in the dormitory of his department for the entire period of study. Commandants draw up lists according to which check-in takes place. The Yarilovichs, Dazhbozhichi and Khorsichi share living space with classmates, and in the dormitory of the Svarog department, the rooms are single. Persons living in the dormitory can freely enter the dormitory from 06:00 to 23:00. Students are allowed to enter the dormitory of another department during the same time period, but they are required to leave it and return to their rooms before the curfew. Students can arbitrarily re-equip and redevelop rooms with the consent of neighbors. Boys and girls are accommodated separately in school dormitories. In those dormitories, in which accommodation is arranged in groups of several people, classmates are accommodated in one room, and not students of different classes. Curfew is set from 23:00 to 06:00 for students of

all departments Any animals and birds do not survive inside the Sorcerer: the mountain simply does not accept them, and over time, the animal either begins to feel bad and dies, or disappears. A rare exception is waterfowl and magical assistants in magic, usually strong mages in high school who can keep them alive and strong, often choosing cats (mostly black), lizards, or ravens.

Unlike Hogwarts, in the Witch Creator they place great emphasis on the horizons, erudition and literacy of children: they must be able to write, know countries, languages, classics (both magical and simple), the history of their country, foreign history and magical history, which goes in close connection with the usual. None of the teachers will make an allowance for a student in ignorance of the rules of the Russian language, even if he is a three-time outstanding magician.

STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED to:
• Bring animals other than cats or lizards.
• leave the mountain without being accompanied by teachers or parents/guardians;
• leave the school tiers at an unspecified time / without permission / unaccompanied;
• leave the dormitory at night (after bedtime and before waking up);
• use unauthorized substances (alcohol/tobacco/other) on the mountain;
• stay overnight in the dormitory of someone else's department without the permission of the commandant.
OBLIGATIONS OF STUDENTS:•
attend lessons according to the curriculum;
• take exams;
• to obey disciplinary sanctions, if any;
• wear the established version of the uniform;
• independently regulate social life at school.
STUDENTS ARE ALLOWED:
• to visit Akademgorodok and Nizhnie Polya accompanied by a teacher (instead of a lesson or during established hours). Students in grades 10-12 can visit Akademgorodok and Nizhnie Polya unaccompanied;
• visit Medny Boulevard only accompanied by a teacher. Starting from the 10th grade, students can visit Medny Boulevard on weekends unaccompanied during the established hours (from 12:00 to 18:00);
• Do not wear a school uniform on weekends.
PUNISHMENTS:
• the class teacher has the right to impose a punishment for a disciplinary offense at his discretion, without notifying the head teacher or parents;
• Punishment for a disciplinary offense may include any assistance in socially useful matters (cleaning the territory, appointing an apprentice to help the work of the sectors, assistance in checking apprenticeship works, etc.);
• If the offense is serious, the class teacher reports the incident to the head teacher of the department. The head teacher, at his discretion, can notify the parents (or, at least, the principal);
• Chairmen of the sectors of school self-government (members of KSU) and members of the Disciplinary Committee also have the right to impose punishments. The class teacher may delegate the offender to the discretion of the KSU or the Disciplinary Committee;

The school year is divided into 3 periods (trimesters) each lasting 10-12 weeks. Holidays are two weeks in autumn (a week in mid-October and a week at the end of November), two weeks of New Year's holidays (from December 25) and three weeks in spring (end of February, end of March, May). Summer holidays last three months (the last exam is on May 29). For any holidays, except for the summer holidays, the student can either stay in the Sorcerer or go home. Going home for the summer holidays is mandatory.
Intertrimester exams are held at the end of each trimester – at the end of November (before the holidays), at the end of February (before the holidays) and at the end of May. There are no lessons during the exam period (three to five days).
Transfer exams are held at the end of May, before the summer holidays. They test knowledge for the entire academic year. Failure to certify in the main subject means a threat to stay for a second year, and if you do not pass the modular disciplines, then the teacher may not allow the student to study his subject next year

At the end of the 9th grade, students are waiting for the IKS, the Final Witchcraft Review, the final practical exam from high school. If desired, the training can be completed by obtaining a certificate of passing the ICS, but this way is traditionally not popular.

Quidditch is the most popular international sport, including in Russia and the CIS countries. Of course, the game took root here much later than in Europe (only in the late 1200s), but today the love for Quidditch unites wizards around the world.
In Witchcraft, Quidditch is a full-fledged club sport, one of the two most popular in the school. The school invites qualified Quidditch coaches, and scouts from professional teams (including foreign ones) track successful teenage players every year. The students of the Wizard School play a special version of Quidditch, where players fly on whole, uprooted trees. There are three stadiums in Koldovstvor designed for sports events, including Quidditch games and tournaments: the Small Stadium, the CDKA Stadium (Kolovrat Central House Stadium) and the Malachite Arena. Quidditch teams in the Witchcraft are not divided into departments: they are teams consisting of students from different departments and classes. In this regard, every year dozens of new teams are created in the Sorcerer, by the efforts of sports enthusiasts or arrogant fifth-graders, which fall apart after the very first qualifiers.
In school Quidditch, there is an unspoken division into the top 3 - the best teams, each of which has its own long history, its own celebrities known throughout the school, its legendary victories and defeats - the top 7 - teams that have proven themselves well and have existed for a long time - and the rest of the teams trying to break into their level.

The Witchsmith Dueling Club is the oldest of the Witchcrafter school clubs. The dueling club is different from all other clubs and circles, and almost officially has a special status. The club boasts a long history and famous magicians among its members. Unlike many clubs organized by students for students, the Dueling Club has a more educational and optional format. Here, specially hired masters of magical arts study with students, teaching them the basics of serious combat training and practical apotropatic sciences.
Being a part of the Dueling Club in Sorcerer is a privilege, and members are treated with a certain reverence. Many of the club members communicate closely with each other and over time create a certain company, which is extremely difficult to break into.
The Dueling Club has its own symbols and uniforms, a lesson plan and conditions under which a student enters the club.

"Echo of the Mountain" is one of the many clubs of the Sorcerer, a division of the school newspaper "Herald", dealing with the news agenda.
• In addition to being used as another option for distributing articles published in the Herald, it also has its own popular columns and shows, including "The Riddle of the Mountain." The Riddle of the Mountain" is a pseudo-scientific show of a semi-humorous nature, the flagship of the modern "Echo of the Mountain";
• "Live Broadcast" — a daily news summary, the section is almost completely filled with news from the "Bulletin";
• "Stadium" - sports news under the Mountain and outside it;
• "The Mountain Has Ears" is a music section, novelties and a not very magical and simple music market.

In the complete absence of chronicles, it is very difficult to judge how exactly the Sorcerer developed before the Cyrillic alphabet was introduced into the country: rune writing was spoken only by simpletons and magicians of the northwestern tribes, but in the Ural region, all knowledge was passed orally, from shaman to shaman.
The main stages of the mountain's development, first as a sacred place, then as a magical center. Saving idols and their own lives, sorcerers move closer and closer to the Ural Mountains - this is the only direction not occupied by monotheistic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). Beyond the Urals, there was a frightening uncertainty for them, so they chose Mount Sakchinar as a new refuge — the peak was already a place of pilgrimage for pagans; in the chronicles it is called the "Repository of All Paths", "The Finger of Perun" and "The White Gates".
Here, on Sakchinar, many ethnic magicians united - Eastern Slavs from Kievan Rus, Karelian and Finnish sorcerers, Bulgarian magicians fleeing from Islam. The original inhabitants of the Ural highlands, the Khanty and Mansi peoples, took the intervention quite peacefully. In the grottoes of Sakchinar, idols and totems of all cults coexisted: the threat of Christianization served as an impetus to unite the magical community, and at the same time to dissociate them from the simpletons.
Because of the large deposits of copper ore, by the XIII century, Sakchinar was assigned a second name - Copper Mountain.
A magic ring is a focuser of magical energy used by a sorcerer (magician) for sorcery by passing or waving his hand. An analogue of a magic focuser in the countries of Northern and Western Europe, the USA and South America is a magic wand. Like a magic wand, a magic ring belongs to the artifacts of the international category D1 - the most difficult artifacts to make. Unlike the manufacture of magic wands, which is carried out by private entrepreneurs (for example, the workshops of Ollivander and Gregorovich), the production of magic rings is possible only in a few institutions around the world.

Such institutions are called Chambers of Masters.

The recommended age for obtaining a magic ring for a young sorcerer is from nine to eleven years old, but this procedure is not regulated by law, so parents can purchase a ring for a child at a younger age. To study in witchcraft schools in Russia and most CIS countries, including the Sorcerer, the presence of a magic ring is necessary.

A magic ring is an integral attribute of any magician in the lands east of Europe.
Of course, many European magicians treat the idea of rings with distrust and skepticism: they say, how is it that cold and dead metal and stone conduct magical energy (the essence of a magician!) better than warm and living wood and core-particles of magical creatures. In the same way, however, Eastern sorcerers do not understand how they can trust something as fragilely constructed as a wand, made of such a brittle material as wood.
A magic wand in the East is not considered a part of the hand; It can be lost, broken, easily taken away in battle, inconvenient to handle and not with the magician every minute of his life - and what kind of trust between the owner and the guide can we talk about at all?.. The ring, you will be told, does not just lie in the hand - it is part of the hand, and therefore part of the sorcerer himself. It is always with you, like a faithful friend, and does not need to be put aside during wakefulness and sleep. Each ring, unlike wands, is created for the magician individually and is never repeated.
Magic rings consist of two mandatory elements: metal and mineral.

There are exactly seven metals that are traditionally used in all Chambers of Craftsmen to make rings: each of them is recognized as suitable for working with most of the world's magicians.
The situation with minerals is different: there are more than eighty of the most common ones, but in each Chamber there is a Master who can offer the client a rare stone that is not used everywhere.

In some Chambers, they avoid working with certain stones, in others they give preference to some.

Since ancient times, it has been believed that the metal in the magic ring is responsible for the mind, and the stone is responsible for emotions and heartfelt feelings, and in combination with each other, they make an ideal pair for an individual sorcerer.

Magic rings are a sacred, individual and personal object.
Unlike wands, whose mass production involves first manufacturing, and only then the selection of a user and sale, magic rings are made only to order. The young magician does not choose his ring from those offered - the ring is created specifically for him. Everything, from characteristics and magical properties to design, is a careful creation of a ring for its future owner, delicate, jewelry work. A rare exception is family rings that are inherited.

Only six institutions in the world are engaged in the creation of magic rings. They are called the "Chambers of Masters", and in fact they are coalitions of ring creators.

There are six Chambers of Masters located in different countries. Each of them has its own name, its own shape, its own coat of arms and its own features:
Stone Chamber;
wooden chamber;
Glass Chamber;
Sand Chamber;
Jade Chamber;
Ice Chamber.
For the manufacture of magic rings, only awakened minerals are used. The process of awakening minerals is one of the main secrets of the Higher Artifactorics and Masters, which they do not take out of the Chambers. The ability to awaken a mineral is an indicator of the incredible skill and skill of a magician.
In different schools of the world, obtaining a magical focuser traditionally occurs in different ways.
At Hogwarts, a student is required to purchase a wand in the summer before admission, usually with their own money. In the Sorcerer, students receive a magic ring in the first days of their studies: they are taken to the Lower Fields, to the Stone Chamber, where Master Guides work with students to find a suitable ring for everyone.

It takes a few days to make, after which the Master Guides appear at the school and give out the finished rings themselves. This is a scheduled event that usually takes place during class hours. The parent, if he wishes, can be present.

Master Guides always give the child recommendations on how to work with the ring. If the ring requires specific use, has features that may affect the child, then this information is communicated to the class teacher and the parent or legal guardian - in person or by letter.

Fifth-graders receive the ring of the Sorcerer in the Stone Chamber free of charge, the production takes place at the expense of the school. However, if a parent or legal guardian wants to buy a ring for a child on their own, at their own expense, they can do so at any time before the child enters school, in any of the Chambers. The Chambers of Masters are commercial institutions, the purchase of a ring in any of them for residents of any country is not limited.

The basic principle of witchcraft with a ring is similar to witchcraft with a magic wand - spells are implemented through passes, swings and hand movements. However, the specifics of hand witchcraft are technically different from wand witchcraft. There are many features:

Gestures:
In order to "fold" a spell, a variety of gestures are used: crossed arms, circular swings, folded fist, open palm, palm flip and many others.
Finger Movements:
Any movement of the fingers can be woven into a spell. For some spells, you need to make a "wave" with your fingers, for simple spells, it is enough to make a movement with some finger, for example, the index finger.
Non-verbal magic:
As with non-verbal magic with a magic wand, non-verbal magic with a ring does not require you to say the words out loud. Moreover, with the achievement of proper skill, it is possible to achieve sorcery without using the gestures corresponding to the spell.

A wizard who has learned to cast spells with a wand will have to spend a lot of time learning how to cast spells with a ring, and vice versa: despite the same principle, technically the same spell requires completely different movements and even internal efforts for witchcraft on a wand and for witchcraft with a ring. And this is only the simplest, everyday magic: the highest magic in the Western ("visual") traditions differs from the Russian and shamanic high magic of the "verbal" traditions on a deep level.

Mostly, all rings are selected for owners with the expectation of three main interactions with the character and magic of the sorcerer:

Harmonization:
The elements and characteristics of the ring are designed to smooth out the problematic and complex traits of the owner's character, to facilitate internal work with magic.
Support and strengthening:
The ring is selected in such a way as to strengthen weakly revealed character traits, to "pull" from the magician his real potential, which has not yet been revealed.
Containment:
The ring is designed to contain an uninterrupted or powerful flow of magical energy, which the child cannot cope with either mentally or physically. This selection option is the rarest, because usually the ring is aimed at opening and actively working with magic, but there are exceptions.
It happens that a ring of this type becomes temporary, so that the young magician can develop during adolescence; Then, after stabilizing your own magic, the ring has to be replaced.

Most magic rings do not require them to be removed at night, but there are exceptions that are separately pronounced by the Master Guides. Usually, these exceptions apply only to children in adolescence or adolescence, when the effect of the stone on the body needs to be temporarily limited or given a break from it. In adulthood, the overwhelming majority of sorcerers never take off the ring from their hands.

A magic ring is almost impossible to lose in everyday life - after a couple of years of daily wear, the owner and the ring are so closely connected that the owner intuitively feels the location of his ring.
For children who have just received a ring, a search charm is applied to the ring to avoid accidental loss. However, if the ring is irretrievably lost or destroyed, the sorcerer has no choice but to replace the ring.

This process is associated with many difficulties that the sorcerer will have to go through with a new ring. It is not for nothing that in most countries focusers are traditionally received in childhood before the start of training - the owner and the focuser usually need a lot of time to establish a complete mutual understanding, which is developed during training and practicing spells. In adulthood, especially after full adaptation to his previous ring, working with a new one can be a real torment for a sorcerer.

Statistically, if the sorcerer lost the ring in adulthood, the new ring is almost never a complete analogue of the metal/stone combination of the previous one. There are many reasons for this: a change in character, values, thinking, the impact that the previous ring had, life difficulties that I have already had to go through...

A person does not remain the same at the age of ten and thirty. The new metal and stone will affect a person in a completely different way than the old ones, and in adulthood adaptation to this influence is much slower and more difficult than in childhood.

Svarog - the dean/class teacher is Lesov Ilya Semyonovich, a man of 52 years old, 187 centimeters tall, quite strong, large build, blue eyes, long brown hair with gray and a short beard always in a well-groomed form, looks like a Viking or a retired Russian hero, strong enough despite his age, on his right hand there are two rings - ruby and amber, as symbols of strength, And on the left there is one amethyst ring, as a symbol of control. The character is strict, strong-willed, requires discipline, has a sense of humor, but does not like when someone is constantly joking and does not take responsibilities seriously. he treats almost paternally those students who have earned his favor. But if you fall out of favor with him, he knows exactly how to turn your life into a nightmare. The atmosphere of Svorozhtsi is like in the army, where everyone is almost like relatives to each other against the background of common affairs and problems, but everyone has their own benefit and there is little real trust there. Special qualities and efforts are encouraged. conducts literature, Russian language, runic and Old Church Slavonic languages, agriculture, combat magic,
Hors - dean / class teacher Fatkhutdinov Fidan Albertovich, 47 years old, is Bucks, that is, a shaman. About 172 centimeters tall, long dark hair, mustache of the same color and a neat beard, brown eyes with a green tint, Bashkir, on his right hand a ring made of malachite in copper, as a symbol of the mountains where he comes from, and on the left from Dioptaz in silver, also a symbol of his home. The character is calm, he is picky, often chooses his favorites, mainly those who see eye on him, appreciates his homeland, home, his family and keeps in touch with his family. A loner treats him coldly and exclusively to the point. the relationship of the Horses, almost like life in a large royal dynasty from the series, eternal intrigues, investigations, dramas and coups, cold wars and all this under the external calm, everyone is dear here, but no one is close. conducts astronomy, artefacts, Treugria, divination, Bashkir language (when it is necessary to replace the main teacher)

Dazhbog - the dean/class teacher is Ftorina Zabava Viktorovna, a hereditary witch with strong family magic. She has a companion, Olga the lizard, a small black lizard who can easily convey something to her owner if she sees her. Zabava Viktorovna is 95 years old, although she looks about 30. She is 174 cm tall, with long red hair that reaches the floor, green eyes, and a small scar on her palm and a small scar from her lip to her chin. She has a calm nature, treats all students equally, and believes there are no bad people, only broken destinies. She tries to help her students, although they fear her. She demands dedication, good grades, and good behavior, and can punish for disobedience or uncompleted assignments. Her gaze is often more frightening than her screams. Sometimes, the belongings of those who have offended her disappear, only to be found when they are no longer needed. She is on good terms with almost all the local evil spirits. She wears a sapphire ring, which holds her powers in check, as she is one of the most powerful mages, and an apatite ring as a symbol of peace and love. She wears a ruby ​​amulet on her chest, a gift from her lover. She teaches Potions, Enchantment, Arithmancy, Apotropaic Sciences, History (she can replace any of the teachers in any class, but often provides a lot of personal comments and criticism), Medicines and Poisons, and the Study of Maleficents.
She has a stuffed donkey in her office; few people know it, but it's her favorite. As a child, she lived with a Muggle family, knowing nothing of her magic, but one day, a gypsy woman on the street told little Zabava that if she fell deeply in love, she would destroy her beloved, would never forgive his betrayal, and would take cruel revenge. And so it happened: Zabava's first and only love cheated on her, and she spitefully called him a donkey, which is what her beloved turned into. She was never able to dispel the spell, and the guy, realizing this, ate something and died of poisoning, remaining a donkey. 77 years have passed since then, but Zabava has never been in a relationship with anyone again and still wears a gift from her lover, an amulet with a ruby.

Yarilo - the dean/class teacher is Igor Nikolaevich Belov, 47 years old, 182 cm tall, relatively strong, although it's not very noticeable, with brown eyes and wavy, shoulder-length chestnut hair. He is an animagus and can transform into a large, graceful, black cat with yellow eyes. Despite stereotypes, he is quite simple. He can be hot-tempered at times, but his anger quickly subsides, and he laughs it off, supports the students, and instills in them relationships like in a large family. He often treats them informally and judges based on the situation, always seeking justice. He can stand up for his students, but sometimes he lets them deal with problems on their own. He often tries to help students who are distancing themselves from the group. He is not particularly neat and refined. The Yarilos' relationships usually resemble a group of warriors who, like the last barbarians, have fun, fight playfully, test magic on each other, but will also stand up for their comrades.
Igor Nikolaevich wears a hematite ring set in steel, as a symbol of never forgetting his essence, and a jasper ring, as a symbol of simplicity. He also has a turquoise amulet with patterns from some popular fantasy game; this amulet was given to him by his graduates, and he wears it with pleasure. The Dazhbozhtsy's relationship is like life in the forest, where there is someone who will protect them but also punish them for their misdeeds, and they themselves walk under her gaze, trying to live by their conscience, overcome themselves, and strive to find common ground. They make mistakes, and they will certainly be blamed for them, but they will not be abandoned. It's like a family where no one is perfect, but no one is alone.
teaches the Principles of Transformation, Vedontology, the study of magical creatures, the typology of magical dimensions, Sanskrit, ancient Greek and runic languages, and combat magic.

The school's director is the great mage, Torbalt Vyuzhny. He is currently 120 years old and a direct descendant of one of the school's founders (his great-grandfather founded Dazhbog). He wears a Tazheranite ring, one of the rarest and most outstanding, but surprisingly, it has no practical significance. This ring is essentially a family heirloom that directly channels magic without hindering it, which effectively deprives it of magical use. He has a second ring with amber, which he uses directly. He is usually able to use the old method of holding a stone in a staff, and he has a staff with rock crystal. He is a mage of one of the highest categories. He looks about 40-50 years old, with long gray hair and bangs always braided so as not to interfere and get in his face. He has a graying beard, neat and not long. His eyes are blue; his hair was previously blond. height approximately 185 centimeters.

Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, Morok, is an ancient mage, a current instructor in ancient magic and the magic of reversal, and a leading specialist for those who want to master attention, although he is often against its use.
His name used to be a joke, since it's used for those whose names are unimportant or unknown (Ivan Ivanovich), the equivalent of the American "John Doe." Since he doesn't have a name, he's called by many names—darkness, mirage, phantom, whatever. He was the most powerful magician of his time, but extremely greedy, almost narcissistic. He demanded such power to become anyone he wanted, to possess the strength of a bear, the flight of a falcon, the agility of a hare, and the beauty of a sable. He ultimately received his gift, but at a huge price. He can assume the form of any person or animal, but he has forever forgotten his own appearance and name.
Now he's older, much wiser, and mostly takes the form of his previous teacher for this subject. He's a tall man with long dark hair and a well-groomed beard, wearing an old version of the school uniform: a black shirt with a belt, simple pants, and boots. Sometimes with a cloak over it. He's usually strict, but he likes to joke, sometimes cruelly. He often takes the form of other teachers or students, and can take the form of animals if he wants. He's fair and wise, quite logical, well-versed in technology and modern culture, and one of the few who enjoys strolling through the human world, imitating people and enjoying simple pleasures like cafes or movies. He even knows how to use a touchscreen phone. But he often deliberately creates fear to prank children.

The sorcerer's school is located in the mountains, or rather, in one of them. To reach it on foot, you need to cross a small ridge and several kilometers of forest. Then there's the mountain gate. Passing through it, you find yourself in an inner courtyard, if you can call it that. It's a large field where all the sports facilities and several marketplaces are located, as well as various buildings. The boundary is the forest on both sides of the school. The school itself is a structure inside the mountain, with many windows and balconies carved into the mountain. The peaks and vaults of the mountain are decorated with statues of magicians of all stripes, who somehow gained fame during the school's founding. The first two floors are the residential wing and the hall of the Dazhbog department, and also contain all the classes on natural sciences or subjects related to flora and fauna. All natural sciences are taught there. This part of the mountain is often covered with plants, flowers and butterflies around, and inside it resembles more of a fairy tale. The wood-lined space seems to breathe, a multitude of plants, the smell of dried grass and the department flags perfectly complement the view. Residential rooms are standard for three people, usually their rooms are the most spacious and students arrange everything inside as they wish.
The third and fourth floors house the residential wing and hall of the Horse department, as well as all the classrooms where science and magic are taught. All the science subjects are taught there. Their floor is typically more opulent than the others, with many decorations, patterns on the walls, and department flags adorning the hallways. There are numerous paintings, and the hallways are typically narrow and curved, making it easy to get lost. The Horse department's residential rooms are designed for three people and are quite small, but upperclassmen are allowed to change things to suit their tastes with the dean's/homeroom teacher's permission.
The fifth and sixth floors house the residential wing and hall of the Svarog department, as well as training rooms for combat magic, dark arts, and most dangerous sciences, as well as a training ground.

Svarog's department rooms are the only single rooms, fairly small and simple; each student usually customizes their rooms, although sometimes, as a form of punishment, students may remove the door of an offending student's room and hide it until an apology is made or the mistake is corrected.
The seventh and eighth floors, the highest, are occupied by the residential wing and the hall of Yarilo's department, as well as the rare language and astrology rooms (the tower houses a telescope), as well as a training area with the most windows and balconies of any room. Yarilo's department rooms are designed for three people, and there are no rules at all. It's said that even deans and teachers are afraid to enter students' rooms without an invitation. You can see absolutely everything there, from a real waterfall the size of a room to a living tree, or the living skeleton of an assistant, or perhaps an actual portal. Everything is limited solely by the students' imaginations, which neither the school, nor the rings, nor, perhaps, magic itself can control. They are like a crowd of barbarians united by a single principle. Among themselves, students have a habit of barging into each other's rooms, surprised, and then continuing their conversation as if nothing had happened.
Speaking of customs, it can be said that only in the rooms of Svorog can one see a conflict, a battle, and the victory or defeat of one of the sides in less than ten minutes and from completely different students. There, the battles never end; a constant war is waged between each other, departments, or clubs.

Teachers can wear whatever they want, but they must adhere to mandatory criteria.
• shorts and skirts are allowed only if the room temperature is above 27°C and should not be shorter than 15 centimeters from the knee up.
• a ban on overly fluffy clothing, bright colors and anything that could distract students from their studies.
Students wear uniforms; purchasing or wearing school-issued clothing is acceptable, typically for boys. A white shirt is permitted with a button only on the top vent, up to three buttons, and lacing on the top vent is permitted. A jacket, similar to a tunic, is dark gray according to the new uniform (the long tunic of the old school uniform is permitted). Dark gray trousers, shorts, and sweatpants are also dark gray. Black lace-up boots (modifications with a zipper are not permitted, but purchasing your own is permitted as long as the black color and lacing are retained), as well as black sneakers, are also permitted. The winter uniform includes a dark gray overcoat and a hat of the same color. Students are required to sew on insignia with the department flag, a coat of arms on the shoulders, and colored stripes on the sleeves and shirt piping. For the winter uniform, a scarf and mittens/gloves in the colors of the department flag are permitted.
Girls' uniforms are the same, but they are also issued a long dress-style shirt and a long tunic-style jacket, in place of the usual ones. (This can also be replaced with a version of the old school uniform.) Shoes are also provided; replacements are permitted only if they are black, fit perfectly, and have a heel no higher than two centimeters. A dark gray skirt is also provided.

The dress uniform includes old school uniform samples, a white shirt with red piping, a black dress jacket, black trousers and lace-up boots.
The girls wear a long shirt like a dress, a red sarafan to the floor, red lace-up boots, and a kokoshnik headdress, red with a floral pattern.
Wearing a dress uniform on regular days is permitted if there is no replacement available.

Alexander and Alexandra Chernov, twins, fourteen years old, often called (Sasha and Sanya). Sasha is a girl of fairly athletic build, with dark, short hair and very light blue eyes. She is easy-going and extremely active, loves sports, and is quite disciplined. She is not particularly strong in the exact sciences, but is extremely erudite, has an excellent knowledge of physics and biology, and is a loyal friend. Her twin brother, Sanya, is an athletic guy, although he weighs slightly less than his sister, with dark hair almost to his shoulders and light blue eyes. He is calmer, more measured, and softer in character, although he also loves sports. Discipline has been instilled in him since childhood. He is also poor at the exact sciences, preferring languages, literature, runes, and the like, although she will never refuse hikes and walks. He is loyal and much more honest than his sister. Of the two, Sasha is more brute force, and Sanya is a contractualist. Both teenagers belong to an ancient line of mages under the protection of a beast spirit, so from early childhood they have been able to transform into animals, like animagi, but much more easily. Specifically, the Chernov family, their mother, grandmother, and all their female relatives (aunts and uncles) can transform into wolves. They, accordingly, can also and have been able to do so since early childhood; both transform into almost identical black wolves with blue eyes, and, by the way, they love to go wild and play in this form. Sasha studies as Svorog, and Sanya as Yarilo, although they usually skip school together.
