Sagwort 832 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2014 “Magic without results is just Druidism” An institution dedicated to the research of Arcane Arts and Sciences. Though we do not claim to know how magic actually works, we do offer a variety of services such as enchantments, alchemical substances, and education hosted in the W.I.Z. University. The Faculty The hierarchy within the company is organized into ten simple tiers: The Board of Administration This is the loose government of the Guild which oversees both the W.I.Z. University as well as any other affairs and issues which may grace the presence of those within it. There are several specific names and titles which are correlated with the Board such as the Chair-Wizard. Though most of it a frivolous and boring and hardly worth our time and too important for yours. The Deans and Chairs These fellows overlook their respective College or Department with Deans overseeing Colleges and Chairs overseeing the Departments. The Deans and Chairs are most often on the Board, though if one of them prefers pineapples over cantaloupes, they can expect a swift ejection from their seat. The Colleges and Departments are as follows: the College of Indivisibly Applied Magic, the College of Illusions, the College of Alteration and Magical Theory, the College of Artificing, the College of Liberal Studies, Department of the Public Misunderstanding of Magic, and the Department of Post-Mortem Communications. Most often the Departments deal with more focused issues while the Colleges focus their precious time on education and research. We’ll let you figure out what all of these Departments entail on your own time. The Academic Hierarchy Lecturers, Professors and Researchers act as the meat, preferably veal, of the institution. They analyse, and carry out menial tasks just as finding the transitive properties to acidic substances while applying the theory of general apothegms. The hierarchy is as follows: Professor Assistant Professor Lecturer Each Professor is directed to a College based upon the subject they specialize in. An example being: The Professor in the Creative Uncertainty would belong to the Dean of the College of Alteration and Magical Theory. They are also encouraged to perform their own individual research outside of the duties given to them by their Dean which includes teaching. Students Really not interesting people at all...they cook, buy the groceries. It’s all their really good for. The company also hosts a butlitorial work force who do about as much as a turnip can do to solve your long standing depression. Which is, surprisingly, a lot. Services The W.I.Z. University Wizard. Institution. of Zapping. The W.I.Z. University is the Guild’s educational program for aspiring young Wizards who seek out the Arcane Arts.

These pillars are explained below: -A Wizard shalt not take off his right shoe before his left- -Horses shalt not be found on the roof- -A Wizard shalt never harm another Wizard of the company without good intention- Breaking one of these sacred principles will result in a ruling by the Board and highly probable expulsion.

Sagwort 832 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2014 W.I.Z. University The Wizarding Institution of Zapping The Wizarding Institution of Zapping advances learning through scholarship, research, and teaching of unsurpassed quality, with an emphasis on arcane and sorcery based education that is distinctive among the realm’s great universities, and with a pervasive commitment to serve the student and the realm. Enrolling Entry into W.I.Z. is a highly selective process. First, the potential student must submit an admissions application which can be found just below. The Board of Administration will review the application and determine if the student has anything to offer the University. If the Board believes the student has potential, a letter of acceptance will be sent to schedule an interview with the Provost or another member of the Board to further weigh the student's caliber. Should students be accepted into the Academy a 500 mina entry fee is due before their academics begin. Student Admissions Application Our present facilities Students are also known to be invited to the University if their previous academic exploitations are above average or desirable by the University. Students who are invited to the University generally have their entry fee waived. The Guild, courtesy of the Bursar, also offers an Apprentice Loan that the student will need to pay before graduating. Granted, with interest the student will need to pay 1,000 minas to the Board of Administrations before graduating. If this seems implausible for the less privileged of students the Guild also offers a variety of Scholarships to reduce the fees. The Roland Scholarship The Warlock Facial Hair Accolade Varsity Wizard Billiards Award The Ibar Elsiol Memorial Scholarship Excellency in Wizardry Endowment Apprentice Life Students who enroll at W.I.Z. enter a program of study under one of our five schools or Colleges. Here, they will delve into a specific field of study at the forefronts of magic under the guidance of a Professor. Our esteemed faculty of Professors are here to educate and enrich the lives of our students through any means necessary. Students will work closely with the professor of their desired field, partaking in a variety of character building tasks as well as lectures and workshops. At the end of this period the student will be eligible for a Baccalaureate Degree in their field of study. W.I.Z. offers four different kinds of Baccalaureate degrees: Bachelor of Thaumaturgy (B.Thau.) Bachelor of Occultism (B.O.) Bachelor of Magianism (B.Mn.) Bachelor of Magic (B.Mgc.) Granted, the well rounded student does not dedicate their lives to study alone. Apprentices are encouraged to participate the University’s many extracurriculars such as the Cauldron Cleaning Club, the Court Wizards Club, or the Future Archmages of the Realm (FAR). The more athletically inclined students can also try out for the University’s Varsity Wizard Billiards Team which, for nearly nine decades, has never been defeated in regionals being the only Wizard Billiards Team in existence. When students graduate they may continue into the magical workforce of the realm through being made Scholars, Librarians, Court Wizards, etc… or support the Guild by joining one of our premium task forces, the Departments. Here their specific talents and knowledge will be put to use in the most riveting and dire supernatural issues of the day. If grades are the only way they can seek approval and accomplishment, then the graduate may continue their course of study and receive an advanced degree through academia in the WIZ University. Colleges W.I.Z. offers five schools of study (one of which we do not speak of), each with an array of fields contained within them. For their burgeoning years at W.I.Z. the student will dedicate their time to their desired field until they receive their Baccalaureate. College of Inadvisably Applied Magic The college which researches and studies the science and art of summoning entities from the nixian plane and generally wreaking havoc. College of Illusion The College of Illusion studies the magical mind through magics involving the psyche. Not the most trustworthy sorts..... College of Alteration and Magical Theory The most meticulous of Colleges which studies the science of altering the magical and physical properties of objects as well as various other theoretical arcane “sciences”. College of Artificing The College of craftsmen study the creation of magical apparatusi, the oompa loompas of progress! College of Liberal Studies A large College that deals with all studies outside of the realm of what the Guild considers “magical” however is often closely related to it. Graduate Degrees Once an apprentice has received their Bachelors they may attempt and obtain a higher degree and even pursue full membership into the Guild through academia. The University offers 4 Masters degrees and 3 Doctorates. Masters To become a Master in a particular field one must complete and show advanced study and knowledge of a particular field as well as completion of a Master’s Thesis on said topic. This thesis is approved by the Board of Administration. Such thesis are generally not novel information, however, does show an extended analysis of the topic. Masters must also have the ability to teach. Master of Thaumaturgy (M.Thau.) Master of Occultism (M.O.) Master of Magianism (M.Mn.) Master of Magical Philosophy (M.P.M.) Doctorates To be become a Doctor in a particular field one must complete rigorous research in said field as well as write a complete dissertation of their research. The research must be approved by the Board of Administration or the Provost and said research must show results. Doctor of Thaumaturgy (Thau.D.) Doctor of Occultism (O.D.) Doctor of Wizardry (Wiz.D.) 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredfort (jens6851) 282 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Having heard the news of the release of the public provaganda program John Lartius Fredfort grinned at himself, scratching the thick beard of his and adjusting the lense of the cosmoscope he had been glaring through. Hopefully the new green applicants wouldn't be light green. Or vomit green, that would just be gross. A normal, perhaps even promising green. Yes that. That would be good.
