==Factions== Although the main conflict of the plane is centred on not-Voldemort and not-Death Eaters trying to destroy not-Hogwarts for the evulz, the five colleges themselves are based on opposing colors of magic and like Hogwarts they like to encourage rivalries between themselves. They even have their own not-Quidditch sport, Mage Tower, to channel these rivalries, but ''unlike'' Hogwarts, students from different colleges are encouraged to fight each other in magical duels whenever necessary, the professors themselves encouraging and sometimes getting in on the action as well. This means many more opportunities to give the resident bullies a piece of your mind and act out every fantasy of kicking bullies' asses you've ever had. So there is that. ===Lorehold=== Named for the elder dragon Velomachus Lorehold, the college of Lorehold focuses on archaeomancy - that is, drawing magical power from the secrets of the past. Being red and white colors, they try to summon war spirits and awaken statues to fight for them in addition to slinging fireballs and lightning blasts at their rivals. Despite being the history nerds of the setting, their theme appears to revolve around being both sides of Indiana Jones but instead of ancient traps and crazy Nazis to deal with, the statues themselves can come alive with murderous intent... Since their chief flavour is archaeology, Lorehold has a strong emphasis on artifacts, artifact creatures, and 3/2 Spirit tokens that represent reawakened ghosts of ancient warriors. They don't have a specific mechanic per se but they have surprising amounts of recursion and card advantage for a normally aggressive tempo color combination. Their heads are Plargg, the Dean of Chaos representing red and Augusta, the Dean of Order representing white. ===Prismari=== The college of arts and performance, named for the elder dragon Galazeth Prismari. They focus on trying to create exquisite masterpieces through magic and paint or breath-taking performances full of fire and color and flaming colors too. Speaking of, their colors are Red and Blue. They are obsessed with arts and crafts as their way of making bold and/or sophisticated artisitic statements. To give you an idea of how over-the-top they are, their orchestra is so metal their music summons literal thunderstorms and arcane explosions so they always have to practise outside. Prismari is all about big spells and arguably some of the best ''Magecraft'' abilities in the set. While it is not represented with a keyword, specific Prismari instants and sorceries have an alternate in-box casting option that lets them discard the spell to create a Treasure token. They also often create 4/4 Elemental creature tokens as byproducts of their big spells. Their heads are Uvilda, Dean of Perfection representing blue and Nassari, Dean of Expression representing red. ===Quandrix=== Who knew mathematics could be magical? The college of Quandrix was founded by elder dragon Tanazir Quandrix and represents all the math nerds out there. Their colors are Green and Blue. Except instead of throwing away the equations and formulas at the end of the day, Quandrix students channel them into elementals called Fractals which can grow exponentially in size through tinkering with the numbers. They like to view magic as formulas and theories to be solved, and programs to feed into gigantic Fractals to crush any who would stand in their way. Quandrix are all about the big numbers and their spells reflect that with an added twist of duplicating creature tokens and +1/+1 counters. Their spells revolve around modifying and multiplying base power and toughness in various ways and creating 0/0 Fractal creature tokens to build up their numbers. Their heads are Kianne, Dean of Substance representing green, and Imbraham, Dean of Theory representing blue. ===Silverquill=== The college of literature, debate and eloquence, Silverquill is all about language - and being vicious with it. Founded by the elder dragon Shadrix Silverquill, they draw power from words, verse, script and passage to quite literally bring curses and insults into life to attack their opponents. They have a sinister vibe to them but they're just really into perfection and eliteness, and are loosely the setting's equivalent to Slytherin. Their colors are black and white. Silverquill spells emphasise creating cheap and easy +1/+1 counters to put on their 2/1 flying Inkling tokens, and have a heavy emphasis on destruction of all kinds. They do also bring some relevance to +1/+1 counters being on things but otherwise run on a modest but deadly tempo. Their heads are Embrose, Dean of Shadow representing black, and Shaile, Dean of Radiance representing white. ===Witherbloom=== Not just representing the cycle of life and death but also harnessing the power of both into their magic, the college of Witherbloom excels at all forms of life magic derived from sacrifice and ritual. Founded by the elder dragon Beledros Witherbloom, they cultivate Pests and other swamp nasties to use as blood sacrifices for their spells. They are the premier lifegain college with many spells centred around lifepoint manipulation and creature sacrifice. Their colors are Black and Green. Witherbloom like to create Pests, 1/1 creature tokens that net 1 life to the player upon dying. While this may not seem like much they can present a difficult challenge for opponents both on the attack and defense, especially when there are 'gain life' triggers waiting to go off. Their spells revolve around tons of incremental lifegain and graveyard recursion. Their heads are Valentin, Dean of the Vein representing black, and Lisette, Dean of the Root representing green.
