The Academy is an organisational network consisting of people who involve themselves with magic. While the phrase colloquially refers to the academia of the actual organisation of The Institution of Magical Arts, The Academy extends to all magic practitioners of the orthodoxy.

This network of people forms a sub-culture around the phenomenon that induces Magic. Whilst varied across groups, consensus on the practice, moderation and standardisation of Magic is maintained. While not as free as the Magic of the unorthodox, the standardisation of magic allowed keen moderation for the sake of safety.

The Institution of Magical Arts were established for three main purposes:

• The cultivation of Magical Arts - Research and teachings of the Arts.
• The moderation of Magical Arts - Policing and executing dispositional force.
• The preservation of Magical Arts - Archiving and protection of the Arts.

The Institution of Magical Arts is THE authority of Magic, representing The Academy in The Modern Kingdom.

Meanwhile, researchers of The Academy are nonetheless heavily invested in the study of Magic, orthodox or not. Though publicly and to the general practitioner, The Academy’s Standard for Magic is the Standard for Orthodox Magic.

Policing the application and circulation of Magic is under the jurisdiction of The Academy. The policing of Magic is a modern concept that emerged among The Academy after The War. At the time of The War, there are little restraints on the direction Magic is developed in or the extent of their application. After the War, the need for policing the application and circulation of magic became apparent. Regulations were set in place, those who breach it face severe repercussions from the The Institution of Magical Arts. In extreme cases, include the complete reinstitution of a person through Magical means or termination. This is done so in cooperation with the kingdom’s laws.

The Academy serves as the delicate moderator to the development of Magic while sealing away the destructive implication of Magic.

and strict selective processes were in place (Albeit, easily bypass-able by the nobility) in the access of magic.

Practitioners of Magic also belong to this sphere, albeit as the users. Some are more keenly involved, whilst most simply wished to borrow the convenience of Magic.

The Great Sages, progenitors of Magic, of The Ancients all met untimely deaths. Be it accidents, mysterious death, caught in circumstances, suicide or just straight up went missing.
