Oh, I like this! Count me in, one hundred percent. Most of my preliminary questions seem to have been answered already, but I have a couple:1. So, I get that we're students in this academy and all, but I'm guessing there's going to be some kind of conflict that comes up at the beginning? In my experience, academy-style RPs die faster than mayflies without a story that draws the characters together... Not necessarily having something for them to , just something for them to other than go to class and have schoolyard drama. I'm just saying, if it's only supposed to be about personal discovery and enlightenment through magic... It might not work out.2. Most the magical disciplines are straightforward enough, but does Ouramancy include, say, speaking to the dead ("human spirits")? Maybe just restless spirits trapped on the physical plane? And, which of the energies would be expended by speaking to a Divine Spirit or a Devil? Sakra?

Good questions, again. To answer:
[*]Yes, there will be conflict early on, and it most definitely [i]will[/i] get worse from there. Anything else would be spoiling :)[/*] 
[*]Yes, Ouramancy includes speaking to the dead, which are technically classified as 'Lesser Magical Beings'. Ouramancy is hard to study and rarely has adept students because it takes a certain 'talent' to use it. The energies involved are Xi, Sakra and Karma, but only Ouramancers are born with the ability to utilize them in a way interact with Divine Spirits or Demons.[/*]
