magic is powerful, magic unites us. let's save the world together β¦
welcome to the magical campus of Lumera University: a school where magical kids called magickai attend to nurture the powers they were blessed with in hopes to help save the world from the evil that tries to prevail.
we are open and taking reservations and applications!
acceptances: currently on pause until the new year
currently we're on a break until mid-january, so at the time of posting this we're not accepting any new applications but we're also not doing any activity checks!
we're updating many things on the main and also had the pause in place to give our members break during the holiday season! we should be back in business soon <3
hi starshines!
for the past few weeks us as admins have been bouncing around ideas on what changes, updates, and improvements could be made to the group. we took the lovely suggestions we were given into account, and below we've compiled a list of some things to expect from the main, and the group, in the upcoming year!
a mini makeover to the main
a few minor changes as well as a bit expansion within the lore
adding more incentives for earning and spending points
teachers and other members of staff being applicable for play
a more easy to digest application
house leaders being implemented
and a few more things we don't want to give out just yet!
the main will be fairly quiet from this point forward for a little while as we work on everything for you guys! we thank you for your support and patience with us during this downtime!
we hope this will be a lovely thing for everyone moving forward and can't wait to share everything with you guys soon!
stay luminous and please enjoy the rest of your year!
- admin love & admin boo
and with that, we come to the end of our event! thank you to everyone who participated!
as stated in our event post, any muse who participated earned their house 15 points! we tallied house points and currently two houses are tied in the lead! congrats to both luna and avalon, with each house gaining 30 points! following right behind, gaining 15 points each, are serenity, aurora, and celeste!
congratulations to all houses and expect more ways to show house pride in the upcoming year!
hey there starshines! friendly reminder that the founding day festival event ends tonight at 11:59pm EST! we will tally house points at the end and announce the new count after the event ends! please remember that you still have until january 3rd to submit in any non-automatic points you wish to redeem for the event!
stay luminous everyone!
β¦ today we celebrate one of our luminous students :
happy birthday, HONG SIWOO!
as it's your special day, it means that you may automatically redeem your +25 BIRTHDAY POINTS! everyone, send your warmest birthday wishes their way and we hope you have a great day, siwoo!
the feedback form is now officially closed! thank you to everyone who submitted feedback to us, it's greatly appreciated. more information regarding any changes and updates of what will happen next will be shared in the upcoming days!
this comes with a heavy heart to say that magickairp will be put on a hiatus until the upcoming year. the admins realized the time we dropped the group was not ideal, and there are a few issues with lore and things we'd like to implement eventually to make the group a overall better experience.
this does not mean the roleplay is closed, but it does mean the main will be paused from big updates and taking new reserves and applications (that have not done so already) until the new year. that means there will be no activity checks until mid-january. members may continue to write to their hearts content and enjoy the event we currently have ongoing!
however, we want to hear from you! we want to make this group the best it can be and for that we want your input on what we can improve on, things you'd like to see, and your concerns and suggestions!
here (and in the source) is a google form that is 100% anonymous that we will be using to determine what we should do moving forward! current members and anyone who is interested in becoming a member are welcome to answer! the ability to submit to this form will be until a week from now on december 21st at 11:59pm EST!
if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to send us a message through DMs or the askbox!
hi everyone! just a gentle reminder that form submissions end tonight at 11:59pm EST so please get any suggestions, questions, or concerns in before then!
will points and things still be counted during this time?
hi starshine!
yes, members will still be able to redeem or spend points during our pause! this includes the current on-going event, as well! only the main will not be updated as frequently during the hiatus!

β¦ INSIGHT: BECOMING THE MAGICKA
shi had known it would come before it did β of course it would, just as it had for his mother and his father, and their parents before them, and so on. the cais especially have been a family that values knowledge above all; to the point where even if with respect, their peers and neighbors looked on a little oddly.
so he wasnβt surprised when his grandmother pulled him into their library the evening of his sixteenth. it was tradition, and nothing shi had done so far had broken that; flickering light echoed across the spines of books collected over years, and shi looks everywhere but at her. the weight in the room was simply too much.
his grandmother had always been kind, but there was a sharpness to her that seemed to be magnified tonight. shi holds himself tall, or tries to - he tries not to think of the shoes heβs wearing now, how they seem to be far too big. he swears he can feel something click when his grandmother presses a gem - his gem, now - into the palm of his hands, curls his fingers around it. almost as if from nowhere ink darts out of her sleeve, wraps around his wrist, makes itself home with him.
the scales tickle his arm, and shi blinks as his eyes adjust enough to the dim candlelight to see a bit better; beady eyes are staring back at him, a forked tongue darting out from a curved mouth in curiosity, as if they were sizing one another up.
a snake, then; he wasnβt sure what he should expect, but that felt about right for his lineage. the companions who bond with the cais tend to be reptilian in nature. not too long after, his grandmother leaves him in their library in silence.Β
well? shi heard, and he saw the snakeβs tongue flicker again. itβs hard to tell if heβs hearing it in the room or in his head, the gravel of it running together. arenβt you going to sssay sssomething? heh, or are you just going to be sssilent?
the snake taunts him, but shi doesnβt sense anything unkind. it coils himself around the back of his neck, hanging its head in the corner of shiβs vision. it just watches him now, and shi doesnβt break eye contact with it; he senses a feeling of pride from the snake.
shi considers himself. his heart rate by now is normal, and he feels fine. strange, but fine - the way his family speaks of it, he assumed that there would be more to it than this, but for now he is simply glad for the silence, feeling the rough, gilded edges of one of the tomes as his lithe fingers wrap around it.
they are currently a 2ND YEAR, LEVEL D student who represents the HOUSE OF SERENITY. they wield the power of ELECTROKINESIS and studies alongside their companion, A MAINE COON. they are an ENGINEERING major and will reside in DORM #125 for the remainder of their schooling. β¦ come learn more about them.

β¦ INSIGHT: SHOW WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF
kitae is, by all accounts, a smart cookie, but he never claimed that that translated into effective power usage. the lumera entrance exam had two portionsβthe written exam that he knew would be comedically easy for him, and the evaluation of practical, fighting skill that he knew would pose a grave challenge. he wanted to be better at utilizing his powers, of course he did, but it wasnβt so simpleβhe was cursed with a weak, lanky form, and no matter how much he felt like he exercised, nothing seemed to stick. it didnβt help that his weapon was a katanaβincredibly cool, but strange to wield, and requiring closer combat. (he remembers a friend of his in earlier education commenting that katanas are amongst the lightest of two-handed swords, and sighs. he doesnβt find the weapon heavy, per se, but swinging it around a lot is tiring for a booksmart nerd, okay..!) itβs a daunting prospectβof course, it isnβt the end of the world if he isnβt accepted. there are all kinds of other paths he could take, including going to some normie school for engineering, and pursuing private lessons of a sort to get better at his magic.
he could do that. or he could just be better.
kitae knows that faceless are not the worst of his worries in life, but the one he faces (can it be called facing if it doesnβt have a face? the one heβ¦ looks at?) at his exam might as well be his greatest enemy, his magnum opusβan impassable wall, an undefeatable menace. he knows that his examiners can sense his hesitation, his fear. he isnβt afraid of the beast, not really, heβs afraid of the judgement. he finds himself hoping, praying, begging anyone who will listenβplease, donβt let me make a fool of myself here.
he starts from afar, just trying to use his blade to channel an electrical current towards the fiend from a safe distance. this fails, for the most partβthe faceless appears to be within his range, but his nerves are making it more difficult to reach. kitae can feel the heavy gazes of the examiners upon him, weighing, judging, burning.
kitaeβs internal monologue often takes on the persona of a stand-up comic, he thinksβyou can do this. youβre better than it. stupid thing doesnβt even have a face. the thought is enough to make him crack a smile. the nerves subside, at least a little. no matter what happens here today, youβll want to be able to say you did your best.
he grips the hilt of his sword tighter. heβll knock this stupid thingsβ not-face right off of its stupid head.
once kitae takes that first step, his memory goes hazyβstage fright always made him forget, and the remainder of the exam is a blur. he remembers leaving the room feeling exhausted, a little beat up, unsure of his chancesβbut at the very least, proud that he got this far.
