Izzy is thin and towers over most human females(and some human males).  
[/hider]
Height and Weight: 6'1" 155 Lb  
Weapons/Items: The "Bottle."  The device pictured on her back is named for the mundane bottles that would catch djinn in folklore and myth.  It is capable of absorbing, storing and preserving magical phenomenon.  It is primarily an academic tool, for capturing ancient magic and taking it back to the University for further study, but it can also be used to release the magic in question if it is needed, and can hold pre-prepared spells to use on the fly.  
It has five "cells" which can each hold one phenomenon, or spell.  
She also carries vials of mana potion, which can revitalize magical energies.  She can drink them to give herself more power, but she can also use them to return power to ancient devices.  She has eight of these.  
Skills: A working knowledge of magic, both ancient and modern, magical history being her academic specialty.  
Abilities: None
Magic: An accomplished practical sorceress.  She is well practiced in certain modern disciplines taught at the magical department of Crumbleport University, though she has little to no field experience with combat magic.  Her practical specialties are in the realms of Knowledge, Kinetic, and Electricity.  These are the realms she can work magic in without referencing texts or getting outside assistance.  

Personality: Curious and inquisitive.  She has a thirst for knowledge, as well as a drive to obtain it and a certain disregard of her own safety in its pursuit.  She is friendly and likes to chatter about academia, regardless of whether her conversational partner is versed in its intricacies.  

Bio: Izzy is a student at the Crumbleport University.  She is currently writing her dissertation to receive her AD(Arcane Doctorate), and her subject is the relationship between modern magic and ancient magic.  As a part of her course of study, she has decided to venture into the older parts of the ruins to study ancient magic directly.

Crumbleport University

[hider=CU]

Not very well regarded throughout the rest of the world, the best(read: only) school in all of Crumbleport is situated around one of the few ruinous towers that is inside of the city proper.  The tower contains Cumbleport U's extensive library, and, as the base has been reduced to rubble, is held up almost completely by magic at this point.  Classes are held in a variety of buildings, both new and ancient.  The University offers degrees in a variety of different subjects, but this overview will focus on the magical disciplines.  

Magic is divided into two primary categories, which are further divided into subcategories.  

There is the Physical, and the Abstract.  

Physical Disciplines are divided into "elements," and deal with literal physical changes to the world.  The elements are:
Fire
Water
Earth
Air
Electricity
Kinetic
Life(Life also has its counter, Death, but Crumbleport doesn't teach this).  

Abstract:
Spirit
Soul(Spirit is directed toward self, Soul is directed toward others.  It is forbidden).  
Sight(includes clairvoyance, prophecy and the like)
Thought
Knowledge(Knowledge is magic used to divine information.  It differs from Sight in that it gives you specific facts, rather than showing you scenes.  It can also be used to target spells.  For instance, a spell could use knowledge of names to strike lightning at every person named Steve in a particular area.  In general, any magic under the Physical Disciplines that takes place over a long distance needs to be combines with Knowledge to specify the target).
