Dearest Student, 

You are hereby accepted to Magus Academus, school of the arcane and impossible. Bear this honor with the decorum it is due, for of the thousands who apply, only dozens meet the high requirement demanded by the faculty of this prestigious academy.

With each semester of study, you will grow wiser and stronger in the arcane and its many parallel fields. Study well, for your abilities are sure to be put to the test with all seriousness and regularity.

Pack your bags, honored student. Your future awaits.

Delphinius Sansonis Terwilliger,

Headmaster

Magus Academus is a game for wizards and witches of all types.

The game is played in two phases: the semester, in which students study in classes and extra-curriculars (as well as deal with the gossip of their peers in one way or another), and trials.

During trials, students will use what they've learned in the real world. The Referee (called the Headmaster) will set a particular goal for them in any OSR adventure of their choice, and see if they can pull it off. Of course, other situations may come up throughout the school year!

In their final year, students will create a Graduate Thesis, a spell of their own imagining. To finish it, they will once again need to quest in the world to find the necessary truths and elements to perfect their new spell.
