I'm currently trying to world build a magical school for my fantasy realm. I'm having a hard time finding sources online. Any general advice for fantasy schools?
For starters, you want to have your magic system fleshed out really thoroughly. What good is teaching a bunch of kids how to use a magic system that you, the author, don't really know how it works, right!? If you haven't done this, you might check out my Brainstorming posts Here (Part 1) and Here (Part 2) to get started.
Beyond that, you need to think about some school basics:
Are all children educated in magic? Or only the most talented, the richest, or the poorest?
How does society at large feel about magic education and how does that impact the freedom and funds of the school?
(Related:) What kind of teachers are employed at the school? The best and brightest or the shlufs who couldn't make it in a "real" school? How does that affect the education of the students?
How does general education play into the lives of the students? Do they go to primary school first where they learn to read and write etc. or is that part of the their magic school curriculum?
How much danger is there in the day-to-day of the school? Is the magic difficult to use and therefore generally not a risk? Is it ubiquitous and therefore maintains some inherent balance? Is it difficult to use and therefore volatile and unpredictable?
What is the purpose of receiving a magic education and what do its students aspire to do after completing school?
I hope these help you out little bit. :)
Happy building!
i’ve stopped trash talking comic sans after learning the font is actually one of the only dyslexia-friendly fonts that come standard with most computers and i advocate for others doing the same
Calm reminder that the mean of all age groups' yearly expenses average is 71k-ish.

I discovered this by accident and I thought it was really funny and cute:
1. Download the template from MyScriptFont website
2. Write out the alphabet and numbers in your style, using a black marker (felt pen). This is mine:
3. Scan the template 4. Upload to the MyScriptFont website, name it, set the format and click “send file” 5. Download it to your computer and install
And check out my result!
It works on dragons, too.
hey guys! I’m in a little bind this month. And I really need money for food. I’m accepting commissions, just please help me out. I’m only accepting 5 right now. please share !! I’m getting stressed out, and I just can’t do anything, I’m fucking uhhshbd.
Tbh I think a lot of the rank-and-file goyische anti-Zionists don’t really realize that a large majority of the Jewish community sees them as a new generation trying (and thankfully not succeeding—yet) to enact another full-scale genocide against us. They’re so insulated by their tokens—who have either been gaslighted into accepting abuse or are actively trying to avoid abuse by being Good Jews—that they honestly do not understand the Evil Jews they call Zionists (who may or may not actually be Zionists) are the majority of the Jewish community.
And we despise you. We’re disgusted by you. Some of us are downright terrified of you. We see you as no better ideologically than the genocidal maniacs who have spent the last 3000 years murdering us in increasingly horrific ways. And I cannot fathom how you can see yourself as a good person or ally to Jews when the majority of the Jewish community fears and hates you as much as we do the literal Nazis.
I know you won’t, because the truth is that you do hate Jews just as much as the Nazis and everyone who came before them did, even if you deny or justify it—but you should be ashamed.
