Welcome to Starfall Academy! With the upcoming year 1844, a few formal structures are put unto place...!


Quote:
On Graduation


The primary goal of Starfall Academy is to ensure that every diploma-bearing graduate is deemed capable for their generation as a mage of competent prowess.

The Academy avoids discrimination for those who have come into their magic late. In order to ensure competence and function from all individual students, every 5 and 0 year will be demarcated by a Graduation Examination.

While this usually involves a contest of arms alongside a demonstration of other valuable talents for those less martially inclined, the precise nature of it will change yearly- As will the standards.

While the Headmaster rarely removes a student, being deferred to the next attempt at graduation can allow an individual who has already completed five years the opportunity to aim for it again while developing themselves independently in adulthood.

On Academics

Moving forwards, class schedules will be posted in this thread when teachers will be running courses. Some may be on somewhat short notice.

In order to prepare for the varying exams, three additional areas to potentially excel in for graduation purposes will be listed. Each of these will be accompanied by a personalized boon from the Academy, on graduation.

  • Ranked Combatants [Image: unknown.png]
One of a set of 15 small, simple Bluesteel medals stamped with a numerical value can be obtained from the Headmaster. While initially, these will be simply handed out as come as serve, the goal to obtain the highest numbers by Graduation day will be palpable. Any individual holding one can be called by any with a lower number at a reasonable hour to the gymnasium for a bout - Refusal is impermissible without yielding one's medal, but a request may be deferred to a later time within the week as academy studies take precedence. The winner of the bout can opt to swap medals with the loser.

At the time of a graduation exam, the #1, #2, and #3 medal bearers can request boons of decreasing rarity from a pool dictated at the event.

A command rune will cause the metal to corrode and dissolve the piece at will, as well as verify it's legitimacy to the proper controller. It has no other magical properties.


  • Artificer's Imbuement
At the time of graduation, every student vying for graduation is welcomed to bring forth a pinnacle of their craft.

Judged by the professors and students alike with different criteria per year, up to three pieces of significant investment might be enchanted and enhanced at the hands of the faculty writ large. It is encouraged to put the effort forth into creating something particularly unique and outstanding to be considered for this achievement.


  • Arcana Championship [Image: unknown.png]
Not all individuals measure themselves in raw strength, nor in unique work, compared to their willingness to strategize, display patience, and accrue themselves as functional members of society enough to enjoy children's cards games writ large. 

A set of three ribbons- 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be handed out in an initial tournament. Much like the Ranked Combatants, the bearers of the ribbons can each be challenged to a rematch that can be deferred to once a week per individual. These will each yield a prize pool, in turn, at the time of Graduation.

  • Academic Merits
Any Professor may, at the end of a class, inform the Headmaster of Students of Merit. Some may be equitable to handing it out to all attendees- Others may reserve it for outstanding students. Regardless, the students with merits will be entered into a raffle at the Graduation Exam for a set of prizes. Those with the most may be eligible to win a prize...

The next Graduation Ceremony will be held in 1850.
