Lessons In Magic

"Welcome to Brakebills. You are here because, for reasons that may still be unclear to you, you are capable of doing something most people are not: Magic.

That is the good news. The less good news is that magic is difficult, temperamental, and remarkably unimpressed by how clever you think you are. Over the next three years, you will study it seriously, practice it constantly, and almost certainly discover that your hands are capable of making far more mistakes than you previously imagined. You will also meet people here who will become colleagues, rivals, friends, and, if experience is any guide, occasional distractions from your coursework.

We can't wait to see what previously unknowable heights you soar to."

-Lyonel Dawit, Dean of Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy

Lessons In Magic is a cinematic urban-fantasy campaign set at Brakebills University, a secret institution dedicated to training gifted individuals into becoming Magicians. Between classes, exams, parties, relationships, and the occasional magical mishap, students will find themselves drawn into facing strange phenomena, occult mysteries, dangerous creatures, and corners of the supernatural world they were probably better off not knowing existed. We’ll be using a streamlined adaptation of Mage: The Ascension 20th Anniversary Edition (M20), reshaped to fit The Magicians.
