Archived Arcanes (A.A.)

Archived Arcanes (A.A. for short) is the fourth campaign of Luctus, featuring Swanrunia and its magic academies as its main focus.

A new school year begins at Heron School of Magic! Everything is as normal as a floating island full of magically-abled teenagers can be. Follow a group of gold stars as they fulfill their thirst for knowledge (and power), avoid/reach for forbidden magics, and uncover the mysteries of the school. All while managing to not miss class and attend the after school Improv club!

### **Session Recaps**

Session 1 - New Students

The new students arrive at the Heron School of Arcane. The professors and the headmaster Esoterum welcome the unusual group of first-years to the school. They tell the students about what they can expect and how their schedule will look like on their first day. Afterwards the male and female students get separated into different dorms. Once they settled in they could get dinner from the sheer endless menu of the cafeteria and talk to their other fellow classmates. After the students got somewhat used to their new environment they went to sleep in their new homes, anxiously awaiting their first day of school.

Session 2 - Cantrip Development

The long awaited first day at school begins. The students get ready to head out to their first lesson: Cantrip Development. The purpose for this lesson was to let the students create their own customized cantrip. In groups they looked at different books with instructions how to make a cantrip. During their research Valen finds a footnote about a strange magic type called essence which he used for his cantrip. So the group of misfits successfully developed their unique cantrips: Essence Drain, Void Coffin, Wildbolt Storm, Flame Burst, God Hands and Nathan’s Bad Touch™.

Session 3 - More Classes

After the cantrips were finished the students had to demonstrate them in mock battles. During these Valen used his cantrip Essence Drain to not only knock the noble student Beatrice out but also rendering himself unconscious. The type of spell he used concerned the professor and he told him after he was conscious again to visit the headmaster Esoterum after today’s classes were finished.
The next class the students had was about the spells Magic Missile and Shield. Professor Lufea taught them the basics and the more advanced techniques with these spells.

Afterwards they had their third class which revolved around familiars. Professor Ironfur explained some things about familiars and suggested that for this class the students familiars could just play with each other.
