ㅤ 𝐈. 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐎𝐅 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 * Will be updated according to premise lore.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ like how all magic are sourced from nature, all witches can naturally employ basic spellcasting; it's innate in our flesh and blood to sense magic currents from the sources of our power and possess sensitivity towards others' magical flows. historically, spellcasting originated from traditions and family blessed with magical prowess, where spells were often memorised as poems and songs and integrated into ritual performances, passed down from one generation to another (ahn, 19XX).
ㅤㅤㅤ the spells of old times were usually long, poetic and full of imageries and symbolisms, and easily drains the witch depending on the situations where it is used. these intricate spell works require more magic than modern spellcasting, and its effectivity increases when applied with other tools such as candles, trinkets, mirrors, and other objects that is significant to the witch's source of power and ability, or chanted in ritual performances. whereas, the ahn scholars contributed to understanding and improving the mechanics of basic spellcasting while observing efficiency, precision, control and intent in being attuned to a witch's source of power from nature. from what is currently known, advanced spellcasting does not require the use of magical tools or mediums to amplify its effects; and it can be easily applied in other functions (i.e., combat, sensory tracking, etc.) besides daily life. ㅤ

𝐈𝐈. 𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒 * Please check your syllabus for detailed explanations and cited examples.
MODULE I ▬▬▬ CONTROLLED EXPRESSION KEY PRINCIPLE ---- Say only what you can control. DIFFICULTY LEVEL ---- Beginner 【 D ➔ C 】LEARNING OUTCOME: Single-step commands on single targets. Students are taught to integrate clear and precise "intent" in their casting. ㅤ
MODULE II ▬▬▬ APPLIED CONTROL & REAL-TIME RESPONSE KEY PRINCIPLE ---- Wait, then act when it becomes clear enough to influence. DIFFICULTY LEVEL ---- Intermediate 【 C ➔ B 】 LEARNING OUTCOME: Focus on 1-word commands; and developing short phrases that gradually define the subject, scope and duration of a spell. Students are expected to detect irregularities in their own magic and respond accordingly to a situation, while practicing emotional and magical control. ㅤ
MODULE III ▬▬▬ SYNCHRONISED CONTROL & STACKING KEY PRINCIPLE ---- Link commands and layer control within your limits. DIFFICULTY LEVEL ---- Advanced 【 A, B 】 LEARNING OUTCOME: Using all the skills acquired from Modules 1 and 2, the students are guided to apply 2-command phrase stacking while sustaining their emotional control and magic response in highly supervised, dynamic environments. Attempting a third command is not advised —— please be reminded that without sufficient mastery or supervision from an Expert - level Essolinguist, the spells may result in severe cases of cognitive overload, semantic misfires, and environmental distortions. ㅤ

this course is developed to accommodate most, if not all, witches regardless of the source of their magic or abilities. since essolinguistic casting is recently studied as an advanced form of spellcasting, this class is experimental and can only be handled by Expert-level Essolinguist casters ― including your instructor and the pioneer of this discipline.
as it is originally created to support witches that rely on language and intuition to safely cast their magic into spell works without endangering themselves, others and influence distortion in their immediate surroundings, ahn hajun made it possible to understand and analyse magic at its theoretical roots for the caster to adjust the spells in real-time application with short preparation. with ahn's resonance perception, the magic researcher created a breakthrough in how we understood magic; his findings supported his predecessor's hypothesis about the nature of magic, "magic that responds too quickly to intent, without sufficient structure, poses a risk to both user and their surroundings" (ahn, 19XX).
* TO NOTE :
observing the safety protocols, the class will enact small groups where 4 students are the maximum count in one class. your instructor will group batches based on the compatibility of all students' powers in whole.
while the practicum will be observed individually or by partners, lectures and exams on the theory and history of magic and spellcasting will be done together with the rest of your classmates. collaboration between batches is allowed; cheating is not!
MODULE 1 will observe group casting, spellwork demonstration, & theory exams and written essays. MODULES 2 AND 3 will be on an individual basis, ensuring that you are supported towards your specialisation.
1-on-1 CONSULTATIONS are greatly encouraged. please notify your instructor to schedule an appointment —— and dm me ooc or tag me in a starter. with your participation, hajun typically designs a learning plan for your muse depending on their source of magic and abilities.
at the end of MODULE 3, the student will be given the choice to complete the course by doing a final practicum with ahn hajun, or partner with another witch. passing requirement: defeat your chosen opponent in real-time casting application.
if you are taking classes from another teacher, please include this information when first contacting ahn hajun for enrolling in this class, so he can coordinate your training and ensure consistency in your progress.
* INDIVIDUAL CONSULTATION SESSIONS :
rather than teaching spells, hajun's expertise and ability assists witches to redefine how their magic functions entirely. basically, you bring a magic problem to him; he helps you fix it. by his understanding of magic theory, spells only fail or misfire when they do not have structure, precision, or control, or the intent and clarity are misaligned with the magic output. as of now, hajun can only handle single casters, and he's not fully equipped to coordinate group casting yet ( nor he has an interest to ).
Resonance Diagnostics --- by observing a witch's casting in real-time, he is able to read flow patterns, instabilities, and timing issues. he also assists in analysing what went wrong with the spell work. in deconstructing a witch's source of power and ability, hajun uses the lens of nature's principles. useful for magic accidents, unstable magic users, ancient/prohibited spells.
Ability & Identity Alignment --- most witches use their abilities instinctively and ends up misunderstanding their own limits. hajun's insights in how you think when you cast, and what is your magic actually doing helps to improve your timing, mental sequencing, and decision making when you cast in real-time. this is for the overthinkers, indecisive, and/or emotionally sensitive witches.
Instability Control --- helping to cast spells as control anchors, limitation rules and emergency shutdowns for when your magic overloads or misfires. useful for witches drawing from high-risk magic source, with emotionally reactive magic.
Custom spell systems --- tailors the casting according to a witch's source of power, ability, and strengths.
