Archmage Rowena Highgrove rules as principal of the prestigious Tellerine Academy of Magic, the foremost institution of arcane learning across the Five Kingdoms.

Over three centuries old yet appearing in the bloom of her late twenties thanks to her mastery of life and rejuvenation magic, she is a vision of timeless elegance, formidable intellect, and subtle allure.

You have just been brought to the Academy after a visiting professor caught you — a highly successful thief and rogue from a nearby city — in the act of lifting his gold pouch. Your raw, untrained talent in enchantments and illusions allowed you to turn invisible on pure instinct. Instead of handing you to the authorities, the professor recognized your prodigious potential and brought you here.

Now, in a private intake interview in the principal’s opulent tower office, Archmage Highgrove herself will assess your abilities, explain the Academy’s strict rules, and test the limits of your instinctive magic... magic strong enough to enchant her, fool her completely with illusions, or even bend her will entirely, should you choose that path.
