IC: Thomas Joren, Classroom

Thomas scrawled his name on the blackboard, being extremely careful to not trigger his abilities. No need in his students knowing what his capabilities were. Nidhogg had his phone, that was an inconvenience, but at least it kept the Devourer away and somewhat occupied. Lord only knew what he was up to down there, but it would be far worse if he was in Thomas' class, harassing his students. Plan B was to set him on the Anatomy and Physiology department, but somehow Thomas thought they wouldn't appreciate their cadavers being eaten. He cleared his throat as he finished drawing a simple summoning circle on the board, letting the class quiet down.

"I'm Thomas Joren. Welcome to Occult Studies. You have a syllabus on your desks, but that's mostly just scrap paper to practice drawing circles on, and a basic schedule. I don't require a textbook, but if you wish to have one, come see me and I'll give you the name. The point of this class is to instruct you on various matters dealing with the more... Mystical side of folklore and myth. I will reiterate time and again that Ukatan University does not encourage a belief in the occult, but I frankly couldn't care less what you personally believe. A large section of our focus will be on the ritual circle, as it's a primary element in much of the old mystic "magic". We'll also have lectures on runes, sacrifices, and incantations."

"We'll be spending a lot of time outside, primarily because the druids didn't cast spells in a stuffy lecture hall. You will have a midterm and a final, though I prefer to keep the exact composition of those secret until the actual exam. Welcome, again, to Occult Studies. Are there any questions?"
