Rhyzael focuses on balancing students' skills in mana and physique, while also recommending good reads on war and battle literature.

If one finds themselves favoured by professor Rhyzael, he has his own treasury full of ancient things that may prove useful to students... And there is a rumour in the academy that one student even got a private tutoring session with Rhyzael and after that the student kept beating everyone in duels.

Conjuration & Summoning Professor:

  1. Professor Giselle teaches conjuration and summoning at the Academy. She is a human with electricity mana. Note that she is not an NPC. She is friendly, attentive and a bit eccentric especially when it comes her topics of research, which are currently manadroids. She gives her all to helping students that show genuine interest in her classes, but is not known for pushing the ones that do not.

  2. Her subject focuses at its core on creating objects out of pure mana that are long-lasting, durable, and usable. These techniques can come in handy while adventuring or dungeoning, for example. Found a vein of rare ore in a cave but you did not happen to have a pickaxe with you? Just create one using your mana! Just killed someone and need to hide the body somehow? Conjure up a shovel and get digging! She has researched methods for all elements to be able to create usable items, such as hardlight or water stasis. This allows all elementals to have a chance to learn conjuring, but it can be a great challenge for some when starting out.

  3. Giselle's more advanced, and perhaps more coveted, classes concern the arcane art of summoning elemental beings with a mind of their own. Students who excel or show interest in her class can learn the secrets of how to create and maintain all kinds of elemental thralls and golems to help them out in battles or anywhere else. Being favoured by her will allow students to learn how to summon the most capable and impressive elemental companions.

Extracurricular Professors are different from other Professors in the Academy. They mostly consist of recent graduates or otherwise extraordinary youths found around the world, hired to teach their very special skillset at the Academy. Which is why, mostly, they are much younger. Some choose to stay for their entire lives, but for many it is a only stop to gather funds before resuming their years of adventuring. Learning from these Professors is a great priviledge. Every year each student may choose to take two extracurriculars. These may be attended either in the morning or in the evening. As a reward, as the semester goes on they get to learn the basics of that Professor's skill. If they choose to take the same extracurricular a second time, they will be placed in an advanced class and receive a greater reward at the end of it.
