Merrylore Academy of Sorcery

"Congratulations, incoming students, on your admittance to the prestigious Merrylore Academy of Sorcery. I am professor Ziziff, and will serve as your academic advisor for the duration of your four years here at Merrylore.

"For the first semester your core classes have already been selected. They are Curse Creating, Magic Rituals, Alchemy, Herbalism, and Magic Law. At the start of the second semester, you may declare your specialty in one of the four main fields of sorcery, namely, Healing, Necromancy, Arcane Magic, and Elemental Bending.

"I suggest you make haste to the school store and procure your necessary books and materials as soon as possible. I'm quite certain that copies of Abidalf's Advance Guide to Runes are especially scarce. Good luck to you, students, and throughout your endeavors here, I hope you all keep the Merrylore motto close to your hearts: sow knowledge; reap wisdom."
