[QUOTE="Marker Mage, post: 3772555, member: 52599"] Well, since someone here is talking about the school system in Coreline, I thought I might as well mention an idea that I had posted to another Coreline topic that is relevant. My idea was of Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga from Azumanga Daioh being in an area that's high in magic when she arrived in Coreline during the 23 hours. She instantly began to like magic and even tried copying one of the people she saw casting a spell. Her calmness, imagination, and amazing focus (she can stare at an eye floater while the whole classroom she's in is in chaos because of a cockroach) allowed her to cast the spell rather easily despite the chaos during the 23 hours. She was able to do during the 23 hours what most sorcerers were only able to do while practicing. The things that sorcerers spent half their life learning, opening their minds, forgetting what's going on around oneself, focusing only on the spell and nothing else, these things came naturally to Osaka. Some time after the 23 hours, she decided to follow Chiyo's advise and become a teacher. She of course decides to teach magic. I've even come up with a few ideas of what kinds of things one can expect to happen in her classes. 1. She flies to the school by using a special enchanted item she made that looks like Chiyo's pigtails. 2. She becomes so focused on a lecture that she doesn't notice the fire alarm going off. The class leaves without her and she doesn't notice until she finishes her lecture and notices that she has been lecturing to a bunch of empty desks. Her first guess at what happened is that she accidentally teleported the whole class. 3. The class regularly takes bets on whether their teacher will actually be distracted from her lecture. Some of the students that bet that she will be distracted will go to rather great lengths to win the bet. They do have to follow a rule about not actually harming the teacher if they want to win the bet though. Most students think of it the in the same way that tourists think of getting a Buckingham Palace guard to move. 4. She often falls asleep during her classes. 5. The students occasionally debate about whether or not she's an alt because of how the anime she was from didn't have spellcasting in it. 6. She often gets complaints about how she doesn't punish any of her students for their disorderly conduct in her classes. 7. There are students that find her scary because of the rumors about her being the most powerful sorceress in Coreline and also because of her morbid sense of humor. The Chiyo pigtails that she uses would be able to provide the wearer with the ability to fly, show the wearer's emotion (bonus to diplomacy and handle animal checks, but a penalty to bluff), and whenever one of the pair is moved, the other in the pair is moved (I'm sure players will find a way for that to be useful). I still don't trust myself enough to attempt to stat them out though. Oh, and I thought of a possible adventure that would involve Osaka. A student could get a hold of an older version of Osaka's Chiyo pigtails. Said Chiyo pigtails are evil intelligent items and are only able to be safely removed by the person who put them on. It's up to the PCs to help Osaka rescue her student and put an end to the pigtails' reign of terror. If they successfully rescue the student, Osaka will probably reward them with the newer version of her Chiyo pigtails. [/QUOTE]
