Yes, I do! (I'm glad you caught that!) It's actually called (not to ruin your fantasy), "Magic, Witchcraft, & Sorcery", but it's bizarrely close to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I mean, we don't have wands or anything, but the professor said we're going to learn about ghosts, demons, and other supernatural beings.

Highlights from the course schedule:
8/30 - The concept of power and the nature of symbols.
9/20 - Principles of magic and components of magical thinking.
9/25 - Good magic, sorcery, mana, taboo...divination, magical protection.
9/27 - Magic and sorcery by gesturing and speaking. Blessing and curse, vs. spirit invocation and command.
10/6 - Witchcraft by looking: the Evil Eye.
10/9 - Evil Eye cont'd... vampires, werewolves, other were-animals.
10/11 - Monsters, secret societies, other dangers of the night. Wild People.
10/16 - What do you do about it? 1: identifying the evil agent. 2: protective and curative techniques: spiritual defenses, talismans and charms.

OK, well, you get the point! It's probably going to be the best class ever.
