You accept the Dark Master's order to go back to the Academy of Arcanes, and transform it from the inside into a covent of evil witches loyal to the Dark Master. Of course, you will have to use your favorite three spells (among other spells):
- Tassyndra's Gender Curse: to transform someone (willingly of not) into the opposite sex. This spell can hardly be resisted, but it can be cast a second time to change back
- Evil Realignment: to make someone (willingly of not) evil to the core. It can be resisted by strong-willed (good-aligned character will resist it more easily), so you may need to lower their resistance by any mean (usually by having sex with them). If succesful, it can't be undone
- Ritual of Loyalty: to make someone loyal to you (and by extension, loyal to the Dark Master). It can only be cast on volunteers (of either sex and alignment) and/or evil women, but if this condition is met, it cannot be resisted. Also, it can't be undone.
Despite its name, the Academy of Arcanes is quite small. There are only 12 teachers : The Archmage, who serves as the headmaster and teaches Alchemy, and 11 teachers for each kind of magic taught to the students, and about 100 students of different age. Students must be at least 15 years old, and must stay there at least 5 (and up to 15) years, depending on their talent and their goal. There is no other staff, as all chores are done by the students using their magic.
The 12 staff members are:
1 Theodorus Rex: the Archmage / headmaster / Alchemy teacher, a very powerful, strong-willed, good-aligned man, knowing all kinds of magic. He is over 100 years old but appears to be less than 60 years old. He is also gay.
2 Kayden the Transformist. They teach transformation magic, and transformed themselves so many times no one (excapt maybe Kayden) is really sure of their original race or gender. Currently appearing as a young male light elf, but it can change at any time. Openly pansexual, they had many affairs with the other teachers, maybe with some students too even if it is forbiden. They are very powerful, average-willed and neutral-aligned.
3 Tenlan A'Edson, the cleric who teaches Healing Magic. He is a powerful but weak-willed, good-aligned middle-age man. He is both a mage and a cleric, so he can also cast divine magic (including spells that can detect evil people).
4 Mendor the Mentalist. He teaches Mind magic, but his magic is not powerful and he is weak-willed. However, he is good at illusions, and good at bullshitting people. Anyway, you are now way better than him for this kind of mind magic. He is the youngest teacher (30 years old) and quite and handsome man. Many female students have a crush on him. Rumored to be one of Kayden's lover.
5 Suspiria the demonologist. She teaches conjuration. Despire her specialty, she is a good friend with Tenlan A'Edson. She is also a good-aligned, powerful, strong-willed woman in her 40. She know the danger of dealing with evil creatures and will be the first to suspect any foul play. She doesn't like and certainly doesn't trust Falanna the Harpy because of her evil alignment. Because of her power, strong will, and good alignment, she may be one of your strongest foe.
6 Tenzok the orc shaman. He teaches divination. He is moderately powerful, strong-willed and neutral-aligned male ork.
There are also 6 teachers for the 6 kinds of elemental magic, one for each element: Air, Earth, Water, Fire, Light and Shadow
7 Falanna the harpy Windmistress. She teaches Air magic. Harpy are an evil race, but Falanna is one of the few "good ones". Maybe "good" is not the right word, since she is mean, aggressive and threatens to eat the students (she doesn't actually do that), but at least she has her soft spots and she doesn't try to claw other people unless she is pissed. Harpy are considered as monsters, but they look like a very attractive woman with wings instead of arms, and sharp claws instead of feet. You even had a crush on her. Sadly, she is a lesbian and rejected you. But this may change since you are now a woman. She is moderately powerful and strong-willed. She is also the only evil-aligned teacher. Rumored to be one of Kayden's lover
8 Deolin Stonewall, the Earth mage. A dwarf. He is the weakest teacher (if judge by his Earth Magic speciality) but he is quite good at created magic Runes (which can be powered by another spellcaster) in a way of creating permanent enchantments inside a rock. He is also the kindest teacher. He is appreciated by both the students and the other teachers
9 Tzzin Th'orden, the Fire mage. A moderately powerful, strong-willed, neutral-aligned male dark elf. Husband of Alys
10 Shao Yuan, the Water mage. A wise old man who likes solitude. He is moderately powerful, average-willed, good-aligned. Unlike the other teacher, he doesn't lives in the academy main building but in a modest cabin on a lake just outside the academy
11 Alys Th'orden, the Light mage. A moderately powerful, weak-willed, good-aligned female light elf. Wife of Tzzin. Rumored to be unfaithful to her husband, and one of Kayden's lover
12 the last member of the staff is you, Xenor Tarkal the Shadow Mage. Or at least it was you became Amber the Witch. Well, now the academy has to find a new teacher of Shadow magic. Or take you back.
Since your powers have been enhanced by the Dark Master, you are powerful in all kinds of magic. Only the Archmage (or a group of several teachers) could be a threat to you.
