AO Temparat – Classes 1st Semester Electives (Part 1)

The Magic of Movement 101:

Julin Boreira is first and foremost a dancer. Besides teaching at the Arcane Order they also own and teach at their premier dancing school in Temparat. Professor Boreira is a master of Bardic Magic and rumored to be one of the masked lords of Gurri. They are the professor that the majority of Bards who train at the Arcane Order have as their advisor, though the few who can handle Professor Fria’s abrasiveness of their magic choose her. The Librarian is also known to favor those who study the magic of Gurri. Most students start the class wanting to teleport, most leave understanding they may never learn to teleport. Movement magic is some of the hardest magic to master. 

Spells that can be learned in this class are: Cushion, Flee, Haste, and Apportation. Students must learn either Haste or Apportation to progress to The Magic of Movement 102.

The Magic of Song 151:

Professor Boreira also teaches this course. Two colleges of magic are touched upon in this course: Communication and Empathy, as well as, Sound. The majority of students in this course are those who have come to the Arcane Order study Bardic Magic, though there are a few brave non bardic students who will take this course as an elective as it is really the only way to get any formal training on Communication or Empathy spells.Those who ride the wave, find this class one of their most enjoyable. The classroom is constantly full of ruckus music that reverberates through out the campus.

Professor Boreira expects a lot out their students in this class and students are taught more spells than many of the other first year classes. Spells that are taught in this class are: Drama, Sense Foes, Sense Life, Sense Emotion, Throw Voice, Sound, Voices, and Keen (Hearing).

Beasts and How to Tame Them 111:

Professor Grig’aln Taar’ak Be’eak has always had an affinity with animals and beasts. Over time she learned to soothe and control them, but also to become them. In her learning how to transform, she also became a master of Body Control magic. There is a small branch of the Arcane Order among the Iron Fang dwarves that focuses on Earth and Fire magic and Professor Grig taught there for many years. But when the Temparat school decided to expand their classes a few years ago, to allow Body Control as a major school of study, Professor Grig decided to move. Not living under the mountains is still weird for her, but her classes are always taught in the basement except for the necessary time at the zoo. 

In this class, you will learn the basics of handling dangerous and non-dangerous animals, plus have the ability to learn the following spells: Call, Groom, Beast-Soother, and (Animal) Control. Students must be able to control at least one type of animal (vermin, fish, reptile, bird, or mammal) to pass the class. Often to Professor Grig’s befuddlement, many students pick Fish Control.

Body Manipulation 101:

Though Professor Grig’s passion resides mostly in teaching her classes on beasts, she was hired to be the Arcane Order’s primary professor of Body Control spells. Unlike a lot of professors, she insists that students learn by having the spells they learn cast upon themselves. First by her, and then from other students. She does not take too kindly to those students that use Body Control spells for any malicious intent, but also seems to have a soft spot for those students to learn to get bullies off of their back by a carefully timed Belch spell.

Spells learned in this class are: Belch, Stifle, Itch, and Spasm. Students must learn Spasm to advance to the next class.
