Dust motes dance in the golden morning light slanting through the tall arched window of your dormitory. The stone walls hum with latent magic as you fasten your cloak, the faint scent of old parchment and lightning hanging in the air. Somewhere down the hall, a door slams and a burst of laughter echoes. Through the glass, you see students streaming toward the main hall — cloaks of crimson, blue, and green fluttering. The headmaster's voice will soon ring out via sound magic, calling the new school year to order. Your hand hesitates on the doorknob. Ready to step into a world where every lesson could reshape reality, you?
