The main university is arranged into quads with buildings surrounding a central courtyard. The front gate opens directly onto the main quad which its self is something of the heart of the institution. The geography of the university is somewhat relative. It is thought that a few centuries… text/html 2011-02-14T19:23:06+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:alchemy?rev=1297711386&do=diff Alchemy is the practice of refinement. It is used to make measured, reliable changes to the world (unlike the more impressive but much less reliable practices of Hyperthaumic Arcanophysics). The broad definition means that much of what students expect from Alchemy is misleading and the course loses a significant portion of its intake every year as a result of students moving to more glamorous departments. text/html 2011-02-09T16:43:41+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:headology?rev=1297269821&do=diff Headology is the subject of learning about and interpreting people rather than books on magical theory. Although for a subject all about people it still involves an awful lot of background reading. Having risen to prominence over the past few decades, the artful skill of Headology has actually been practiced for centuries - most successfully by witches and wizards who have survived in the inhospitable and dangerously suspicious world outside by knowing when the crowd with pitchforks is going to… text/html 2011-02-09T15:19:47+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:history_of_magic?rev=1297264787&do=diff There has always been a degree of controversy as to the place of magical history within the university. Modernisers and reformers within the faculty occasionally pipe up with the argument that the young mages of the future have much better things to do than learn about the past, especially as the department doesn't teach any practical magic. However, they are always rapidly shouted down by older, more distinguished faculty members, who maintain that it is vital for the new generation to learn ab… text/html 2011-02-09T15:20:16+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:hyperthaumic_arcanophysics?rev=1297264816&do=diff The Department of Hyperthaumic Arcanophysics covers the magic of reality itself. What is magic in a real sense? How does it work? What does Hyperthaumic mean? It is laughable to think that these question can be answered by people in their normal mental state. Therefore the only solution is to train students to think abnormally. The courses tend to be confusing, even nonsensical, and yes, many students do tend to become a little...eccentric. But they get results. Those who graduate are among the … text/html 2011-03-11T18:00:38+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:natural_magic?rev=1299866438&do=diff Long before man studied magic in its relation to the fabric of reality or the human mind and long before the first schools of magic appeared there has been Natural Magic. It is one of the oldest fields of magic and though it has changed quite a bit over the millenia it is still concerned with the most basic elements of the world around us. As the ancient philosopher Vlarem of Vale so eloquently put it Natural Magic is divided into three fields “Those purtaynyng to the beasts which crawl alongst … text/html 2011-02-09T00:11:40+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:slackers?rev=1297210300&do=diff For all their potential, there are some who come to the University, see the demanding academic schedule, and decide to do something completely different. Although theirs is a troublesome life, constantly dodging assignments, Junior Deans, and irate goblins, these people often end up with a unique view of the University. Here are some ideas of what your term of academic noncompliance may have got you, though feel free to email in with other suggestions. text/html 2011-04-07T16:06:01+00:00 http://education.chaosdeathfish.com/uni:the_dignified_and_artful_school_of_battle_magic?rev=1302192361&do=diff Set up many centuries ago to ensure the wizards fought in orderly, respectful, and collateral-damage-minimizing way, the School of Battle Magic has since evolved into a cross between an academy for prospective military officers and training for wannabe athletes. Over the course of their time at the faculty, students will learn a comprehensive suite of arcane, alchemical and physical tricks to make them move faster, fight longer, and hide like a shadow.

Within its walls you can find both the finest practitioners of magical medicine in the land, and black robed individuals with a sickly pallors and an unhealthy penchant for cackling. The two groups tend to studiously ignore each other, although the college infirmary, which is sensibly located within the faculty, tends to form a neutral ground, as both sides begrudgi…
