Class Information; A History of Magic: Unraveling Mysterious, Magical Civilizations and Lost Ruins
[ Good morning, class. I will present to you various mysteries: a civilization vanished under the sea, ruins plagued by specters, a ruler vamprized, time wound into dangerous knots. Together, we will work through the riddles these lost societies present. Just because they are behind us does not mean they don't concern us.
So, my students, I ask of you this! Unravel these mysteries and discover the prizes the past hold for us.
And remember: every mystery, every puzzle, every riddle has a solution. ]
An alternate/elective class to A History of Magic, MMCaLR is a class hosted by Professor Layton with a focus on ancient civilizations and, you guessed it, their various enigmatic claims to fame. The class ranges from Intermediate to Advanced levels, with Advanced coursework usually reserved to Sixth and Seventh years. Younger students can ask for the Advanced class once approved personally by the professor. All years are invited to the Intermediate classes.
Intermediate students can expect weekly homework, focusing on analysis of a civilization from societal to individual and the magical enigma it presents.
Advanced students must pick a civilization, and under Layton's teaching of theory and archeological lectures, uncover, present and resolve a mystery. Some knowledge on Ancient Runes will be required since Lost Ruins will be taking more focus here than in Intermediate levels. Homework is also weekly.
An in-depth essay on the topic covered in class will be required at the end of each term for both levels.
- Layton will be available after class hours for all students who need help.
- Books required for Intermediate: A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot, Ancient Runes Made Easy
- Books require for Advanced: Advanced Rune Translation. Magical Hieroglyphs and Logograms
Recommended Reading (For both Intermediate and Advanced students):
Dreadful Denizens of the Deep
Fifteenth Century Fiends
Rune Dictionary
( Please feel free to comment here, so I don't lose track of who's in his class the professor knows what students he has. Characters younger than their Sixth or Seventh year and are applicable for the Advanced classes can just handwave meeting with the Professor. )
