What Kind of Magic is That

In the recesses of developed cities, Magi gather to erect scholomances that would serve to house the growing population of children who possess the awareness of the world’s Mana - or Sprites ! As such their awareness of these latent force in the universe allow them to manipulate it with but a consistent thought. However to be taught to use such a talent to its full effect, and to maintain the safety of the population from their unstable natures, these children are held in Scholomance Institutions to be conditioned to excercise control, restraint and a great and broad moral judgement above all in order to be given a chance to integrate in the world outside their walls.

In their first years, students are taught to control their magic via a medium. Classical ones involve wands or crystal balls. While others opt for painting or "playing" their spells through instruments or even using conventional tools like umbrellas and magnifying glasses.
