Ardelvo
Structure
The Mage School at Ardelvo is best described as individualistic.
Those with the gift of wanded magic must complete a series of 'Basics' courses before they are permitted to purchase a wand or staff. These courses are offered once a year, in large groups, and it is up to the individual to ensure that they are completed. After 'Basics,' the student must then complete the 'Fundementals' course, also offered once a year, before they can be considered a Journeyman.
From then on, learning consists of solitary research and individual study. Journeys are evaluated by a group of Mages known as the 'Review Board,' and are displayed at the school for peer review. If the Board deems them a worthy study, the Journeyman is promoted to Mage. Mages are permitted to continue their research at the school, though there are some hermits who prefer to study alone in the far corners of Llyris.
