Stellaris Academy of Magic - RPG

Welcome to my biggest project yet: Stellaris Academy of Magic

Upperclassmen often bet on these trials, creating early rivalries. Though sabotage is rare and forbidden, it has happened—usually by nobles with access and motive.

Within the Crucible, students face a construct, foe, or setting that exposes their flaws or mimics their own magic too closely. It tests their adaptability, not brute strength.

Success isn’t required to pass—faculty observe via projection runes to assess baseline ability, mindset, and potential for growth.

III. The Witness Flame

Once the Trial is deemed over, the 'Witness Flame', a brazier that is almost like an eye of the sentie
