" Rhiannon, I am glad to meet you and yes you touched a portal picture which brought you to a real world. A world of magic and you have a magical core. Come with me and I shall take you to Orientation. I'll even hel you get caught up with the rest of the class," Thomas smiled encouraging as he started to lead her to the Academy and Lecture Room.

"After lunch we will have a final lecture before we go to the village to do some shopping. You will need quite a few things while you are shopping. One benefit of my school is that I will pay for your new things." Lady Violetta spoke.

Lady Violetta looked at the students and decided to finished the lecture even though it is a bit long. She wanted to get going on the fun stuff.
"Please listen up students! This will be the long part and after I am finished with this we shall have a pizza party!
“I want to speak a bit on Magic and its uses. I want each of you to listen to this carefully.
Magic is a tool that can be used for good or evil or anywhere in between. The magic user must be aware of what he or she is doing and why. There are consequences to using magic. Consequences can be devastating if the magic user is not aware of all of the effects of the magic that is being used.
The magic user is only as strong as his or her body’s

endurance of the physical and mental abilities.

A) Physical Strength.
The magic user is only as strong as his or herself. Magic takes a lot of stamina to do and the body will be drained constantly when the person uses magic.
B) Mental Strength.
The magic user must be able to concentrate well, visualize well and think clearly as well as quickly. To do this we need to meditate and do mental exercises to make the mind stronger. Meditation is crucial to one’s mental ability. This is the way one learns how to concentrate, block out unwanted noises, keep the mind clear of intrusions and to imagine the impossible.
Knowledge.
The magic user must be able not only use magic but know the 3 parts of magic.
1) What is the first part. The magic user must know and understand what he or she wants to do with his or her magic.
2) Next come How. The magic user must know each step of the magic well enough to actually be able to visualize the magic being done in each step until it becomes as simple and routine as breathing.
3) When is the last part. To cast magic the magic user must know when each step should take place.

An example of this is putting your shoes on.
What would be the need to put on shoes to protect your feet from anything that would do them harm or make them uncomfortable, ect.
When would be like when you leave to go outside not before going to bed.
How would be putting them on your feet before tying them and to have the socks on before you put the shoes.

Your Future Career

“I know that none of you are thinking about your future career. But I want each of you to begin to think of what you think that you might like to do as an adult. In three short years, I will have a few specialized positions to give out. One will be Archives Specialist. I also will be sending out an Exploration Team. The Exploration Team will consist of a crew, Navigator, Astronomer and a Captain. I will also need a Governor for this Island.
What I would like for each of you to think of what you would like to be. Or what kind of magic you would like to use. There are many kinds of magic that I have not yet studied.
Each of you will need to get Personal Achievement Classes in. To pass the Personal Achievement Class, you must get a minimum of 15 points. These classes are designed to make you better-rounded person. One of the classes that you can take is Calligraphy and another one is Musical Instrument. These two classes are a semester long and have 5 points towards your Personal Achievement. Another one that you can take for 5 points is Auras Class and Magic Exploration. This is mostly an Independent Class. The only lecture that you will attend is the Introduction to Your Aura. The rest is Independent Study. There will be other ones such as Thought Transference Class which will be available in the future.

Rules

Here at Caldwell’s, we will have some rules to go by. Here are the ones that I have set up at this time.
1) Respect each other and yourself.
2) No dissing, put downs or negative thoughts or speech.
3) No fighting is allowed at all. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked.
4) Try to include as many students as you can into your daily activities.
5) All students are required to be in class on and prepared to learn. That includes having your wand and PLTs as well as being able to demonstrate your homework or class work.
6) Pets are not always allowed in all classes. If they are not allowed, they are to be in your room.
7) Obey the curfew. No ifs, ands or buts about this. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked.
8) Remember the golden rule:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
9) Keep your rooms neat and tidy.
10) Keep yourself neat and tidy. Both of these rules pertain to professionalism.
11) Do your own work and do not try to cheat. The end of the semester you will go through a testing chamber by yourself.
12) If you act like a child, you will be put on a demerit/merit system until you can prove yourself to be professional magic user. You may be grounded and have your privileges revoked.
13) Ask questions and learn from other student’s mistakes. There are more than enough to go around!
14) I will make more rules as I see the need.

Virtual Tour

“Each block of rooms is enclosed for a reason. The reason is for the protection of young pets that will be with you frequently throughout the day. You are here in the Lecture Hall. There are two classrooms and a Magical Demonstration Lab. This area called Class Room Area.
The next area is Community Area. The Students Lounge, Dining Room and Library are located here as well as Spiral Staircase.
The Dining Room has 1 long table and I sit at the head while Thomas will sit at the foot. Food will appear on your table after I ring the bell.
The Students Lounge has various chairs, sofas and tables. On the buffet will be various foods that you may eat when you are hungry. You will be frequently hungry for magic will take a lot out of as well as the stress of what you are going through. Your pets will take a lot of care as well. You will not be pushed to do much the first 2 days besides moving in, getting to know each other, finding your way around the Academy, and learning about your chosen pet.
The far area is where you go for your Independent Labs or Independent Classes. Independent Lab In this room you will find scales, measuring tapes and testing equipment. This is where you will be for your independent study for Mythical Creatures Class. Of course I shall be around to assist you and answer any questions that you may have. I can offer various suggestions and tests to determine various things. But you must think of the idea. The reason is to make each of you think. This world will one day be expanding and you will be the ones who will be the explorers to new lands. One room is always locked until final tests are performed. That room is the Testing Lab.
The front area is the Entrance Area. I have my office there as does Thomas. The Infirmary is there as well.

The second floor is divided up into 2 sections. The first area is The Bedrooms. On the other side is the Game Room. There are many games in there that you might want to play in your spare time.
You may have any bedroom that you like. Your room is sentient as well and will recognize your Aura after you place your two hands on the handprints on the chosen door. You may go inside and see what I have done for you. All rooms are the same. Everything is in pale blue but later we shall go into town and pick out new things. You will have a list to fulfill and a specialized cart. The cart will have a special device that you will use to claim a cart. Again the process is the same as your PLTs.
As you place the items in the cart, just scan them. It will highlight the items as you scan them. The aisles will be placed by each item on the list. If you want an item that is not on the list just type it in the search bar. Anything that is related to the item will show up. On this trip, I am allowing you to have extra items and money free. After this you will be given an allowance to use for your own things. Yu don’t even have to return the cart for it will belong to you. After you get back you will park the cart in a parking spot assigned to you by the Castle. That spot will send the cart to your room. In your room is a small cart closet.



On the Roof are 2 Greenhouses and a center area for Meditation in good weather or for Sky Watch. ! Greenhouse will be used by you students and the other one is totally off limits because it is my Greenhouse. In that greenhouse are some experimental plants that are not to be disturbed so do not bother them.” Lady Violetta spoke very firmly on the last greenhouse.
