#ourfaeriesarediffering

a quick birthday draw for serene of her tyrannical little darling Aria driving a wind-up Panzer because why not

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE, may the moon perish with this year's imminent onslaught 

Commission for the extraordinary ourfaeriesarediffering!

Nirinel is a special case!

While she might have teachers, they're not necessarily in a school. Nirinel is Grand Witch Genevieve's personal pupil. She's studying to take over the Wayward Village in the future. She must learn compassion and business skills and a whole range of stuff in order to understand magic law and the people behind it. 

Normally, students- who must be registered under St. Helena's Magic Law, can attend the Royal School of Magic but... most honestly don't. It's a school for status more than anything. I mean, if you can afford it, sure! Lately there's been changes to the education system where middle-class and lower students are accepted on a percentile where they don't have to pay for class. 

Usually smaller towns and cities have their own sets of witches and magicians and sorcerers and the like who have to help the community by law and help learning students grow. Some are better than others but as long as you're providing proof of education and involvement in the studies under the set country curriculum, you're fine. 

You must study magic before you can study anything else (if you're gifted in the art of magic) because it can prove potentially dangerous to yourself and society if you don't learn to control it.
