Fantasy Isekai OWIID: Lore

[Clouds]

Magic University
People from the ages 18 – 21 are gathered here. The school was established out of agreement from the 5 kingdoms who had witnessed the darkness rising from all corners of the world. In order to prevent from more chaos to be spread, they established the magic university where students train to protect the world from this particular evil.

The one standing at the top is the principal: Mr. Niklaus Towle. Considered to be on par with the principal of the Magic Academy.

Not many students continue their studies here due to the constant imposing threat of darkness, witnessing gruesome acts and even losses from fellow students. It is also not a shame for them to quit as it is highly understandable for them to do so. They will still be able to land on a good job, relationship, etc.

Commoners are still considered to be rare to be blessed with magical powers and so one would not see many of them here.

Magic Weapons
Magic Weapons are not available for anyone to wield. The weapon chooses its owner and no the other way around. If you do proceed in wielding it without any kind of compatibility, the more difficult it will become. There is also the possibility of it shattering in your hands, meaning that this weapon will be gone forever. It requires mental strength and a greater mana pool to perfect the way you handle it which can take up years. Only a handful of wielders managed to do so in less than a year.

Mana

Mana is everywhere in the world. In order to use magic, one has to use the mana stored inside of them. The newer he is to this, the less he would be able to store inside of him. It will take some time before everything is restocked so don’t rush in mindlessly!

There is also mana control. That means controlling the mana particles around them which could help the import and export of mana through spells. This is a very difficult technique to learn and not many have truly mastered it. Principal Von Deik and Niklaus Towle are one of those few people who managed to do so, hence why they can be seen as a great ally or a dangerous threat.

Technology
Technology in this world is certainly not as advanced as in the modern world. For transportation they use carriages and horses. Weapons are mainly swords, daggers, hammers, spears, etc. They do have some gadgets than run on magic which are yours to discover.
