I haven't really seen anything about it, so has anyone entertained the idea of "Wizard Academia" sort of like a mix of dark academia and d&d wizard school? Just a thought. Wizard academia would be;
Big ornate castles with winding staircases
Tons of secret passages
Dorm rooms full of yellowed scrolls and spell books left by previous students
Long flowing cloaks and pressed puff sleeves shirts
Leather boots laced tightly
Class notes written with quill and ink
Dusty libraries full of books about great wizards
so i've gotten into website coding recently and i decided to make my own buttons n stuff for it (cause my aesthetic is v specific and hard to find stuff for - I affectionately refer to it as "D&D wizard teleported to modern time/wizard academia).
Anyways, anyone is welcome to use these, i just ask you give credit or at the very least don't claim it as your own.
“Well, technically.” She began.
“I’m also the dean, professor of Conjunctioning Spheres, Divination and History of Modern Magic.” She listed the titles on her fingers. She frowned, scrunching up her weary freckled face. “I’m also the caretaker.” She looked far too young to be any of those things, except maybe a caretaker. Junior caretaker.
“And you’re… you’re qualified for all of this?” asked the leatherclad rogue, squeaking in her far too new and far too tight armour. They had been looking for a new magician ever since their last one got done in by standing far too close to a set of very interesting runes. The rogue still had night terrors about the colour purple.
“Not at all. But I’m very good at writing academic papers. Oh, and magic missles.” Her mispronunciation of the word missiles did not, in fact, alleviate their concerns.
The former man-at-arms leaned back and pinched the bridge of their nose. “Do please explain exactly how a second term apprentice becomes the headmaster, dean, head chef, and whatnot.” They said in a sour voice. Their wine had been bad, like a bitter brick poured into a bottle. Their patience wore thin with nasally wizards at the best of times.
“Hey, I’m not head chef. I’ve got no right to that title. The others though… well, you know how regular academia can be cutthroat?” The group’s nodding prompted her to proceed. “Well, wizard academia is a blast in an enclosed space. So, all titles were instantly passed to me, the only living member of the school that could have a technical claim to them. So, when are we leaving?”
