๐๐๐: ๐๐ป๐ช๐๐ ๐ก๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฑ...๐ข๐ธ๐ป๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ผ?!
๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ-๐๐ฒ ๐๐ท๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐พ๐ฝ๐ฎ ๐ธ๐ฏ ๐๐ป๐ฝ๐ผ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ผ is widely known as the most prestigious all-girls' academy for the arcane arts in the entire world, and it is rumored that its history dates back to the ancient times, not long after Fuxi and Nรผwa populated the world that Pangu split apart. The Institute's curriculum is extremely challenging, and only three kinds of sorceresses are admitted: the crazy rich, the crazy talented, and the crazy lucky.
For millennia, the academy flourished deep within the soaring peaks and plunging valleys of ๐๐พ๐ช๐ท๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ช๐ท, hidden from prying human eyes by seas of clouds and ancient magic alike. The sorceresses of the Institute remained insulated from political, social, and economic turmoil, and eight imperial dynasties came and went (with a smattering of warlords and general-kings in between).
With the abdication of the last Qing emperor, however, came a period of prolonged instability that even the Institute couldn't completely defend against. A variety of factors-with the most prominent being the conflict in between the Nationalists and the Communists and the Second Sino-Japanese War-led the headmistress to make the painful decision of relocating the school during the 1940s. However, during the relocation process, a surprise attack by ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฌ๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐พ๐ท๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ (humans who have discovered the existence of magic folk and vowed to hunt them down due to the danger they pose) forced the school to temporarily disband and go into hiding.
The Institute moved to ๐ข๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ๐ช๐น๐ธ๐ป๐ฎ, re-opening its doors in 1966, right after Singapore became an independent republic. Traditionally, the Institute was incredibly secretive (and incredibly traditionalist) and only admitted students of East Asian and Southeast Asian descent, but with attacks by witch hunters armed with sub-machine guns and assault rifles on the rise, ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ๐ผ ๐ข๐พ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐พ made the controversial decision to begin admitting students from all over the world, effective September 2019. The only condition was that sorceresses must know either Mandarin Chinese or English in order to apply...and that all applicants would be held to the same high standards of either wealth or talent, no matter their place of origin.
All's well that ends well, right? Well...that certainly remains to be seen. It's one month into the semester, and things are definitely not progressing as smoothly as hoped. And to make matters worse, ๐๐ป๐ธ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ป ๐ฆ๐พ has seen a terrifying future in her oracle bones...

โโ๐๐ช๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฌ is something that one is born with, though it takes years of study and practice in order to perfect it. Children with at least one magical parent are always born with magic, and there are also cases where children with no magical ancestry at all are born with magic.
โโThere are many ways to practice magic, though the form taught at the Institute and spear-headed by its original founders is widely regarded as the "official" way of doing so. It is described as an energy from within that magical individuals must harness in order to put it to use. It is a precise, exacting science, and even one slight mispronunciation of a spell could send the entire thing out of whack.
โโMagic, as it is taught at the Institute, is inherently spell-based. Even so-called 'magic potions' require an activation spell, and charms, talismans, and magical amulets and artifacts are usually all created with spells and enchantments as well. Many spells read like short poems, and are written the same way that one would write a haiku (5-7-5 syllables per line) or a classical Chinese verse (4 lines, 5 characters per line, AABA or ABCB rhyme scheme). There are also a number of spells that have been incorporated into Chinese culture as common 4-word sayings. All spells are taught in Asian languages at the Institute, with the most common language being, unsurprisingly, Mandarin Chinese.
๐๐ธ๐ต๐ธ๐ป๐ผ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐๐ธ๐ป๐ญ ๐ช๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ฒ๐ช๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท๐ผ derived from two words that have become associated with each other through their pronunciations also have magical importance, though this 'science' is much less precise than that of spells. Some examples:๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ฝ๐ฑ (ๆญปไบก): the color white, the number four (ๅ)
๐๐พ๐ฌ๐ด: the colors red/yellow/gold, hanging a ็ฆ (fu) sign upside down, chicken (because the word for chicken, ้ธก/ji, is similar to the first word of the phrase for auspicious ๅๅฉ/ji li)
๐๐ป๐ธ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฝ๐: the number eight (ๅ ซ/ba), because its pronunciation is very similar to the word associated with getting rich (ๅ/fa)
๐๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฎ: the number two (ไบ/er), because it sounds like the word for love (็ฑ/ai)
๐๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฎ: the number three (ไธ/san)
๐๐ฎ๐ท๐ฐ ๐ผ๐ฑ๐พ๐ฒ, also known as ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ช๐ท๐ฌ๐, is (according to Wikipedia) "a pseudoscience originating from China, which claims to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment". The truth, however, is a lot more complicated-some feng shui practices stem from true magical origins, while others are laughably useless, and still others are just plain...common sense.
While spells and most other magical applications require the use of internal energy, ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ช๐ท๐ฌ๐ requires that one harness external spiritual energy. However, this external energy is usually quite weak, so more often than not, geomancy is used in addition to regular ol' spell-casting in order to achieve the desired effect. A few basic examples:
๐๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ช๐ต ๐ซ๐ช๐ต๐ต๐ผ (ๆฐดๆถ็) infused with the correct spells are used to bring harmonious, calming energy to any space. For example, a clear quartz crystal ball can be placed in the living room to soothe and clear the energy. Contrary to popular belief, they have no uses in seeing the future.
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฌ๐ต๐ฎ๐ผ help encourage auspicious harmony. As such, circular rugs and circular tables are quite popular.
๐๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท๐ผ are also regarded as auspicious, and they allegedly protect homes and businesses from evil. Although the magical community knows that plain old stone lions really don't do anything, magic folk will nevertheless take advantage of their popularity and/or ubiquitous nature and convert them into magical items that serve protective purposes.
๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ธ๐ป๐ผ are all placed on the inside of closet doors. Since students at the Institute are learning basic astral projection, and returning spirits may get confused to which medium-the reflection of the body, or the actual body-they should go back in. Therefore, having mirrors reflecting into the room or reflecting the bed makes people tired and dizzy the next morning.
๐ข๐ฑ๐ช๐น๐ฎ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ช๐ผ๐ฝ๐ป๐ช๐ต ๐น๐ป๐ธ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท are two skills that can be mastered through intense study and practice, though even the Institute only has the capacity to teach students basic astral projection during their time at the school (and shapeshifting isn't even touched upon). A student must be taught how to separate their spirit from their physical body, which is definitely not an easy process. However, while learning how to do so, there are many times where the spirit and the body will separate themselves outside of the volition of the person themselves, especially when the person is sleeping.
๐๐ธ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท๐ผ exist for a variety of uses. In fact, many traditional Asian herbal remedies are derived from magical potions (though they do not include the spell component, which is an essential part of all potions).
๐ข๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ผ of nature and the dead can be communicated with, though delving into the spirit world is always fraught with risk and should not be taken lightly.

โโ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ท๐ช๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท is used to sort incoming students into four different houses. Students are brought to a wide river, and given a stone. A professor gives them four different sets of spells to try out, all centered around getting the stone across the river. Students are sorted into houses depending on which one they find the easiest.
The ๐ญ๐ธ๐ท๐ฐ-๐ท๐ฒ๐พ technique requires actively navigating the stone across the river at an even pace, skirting around any obstacles that are encountered and taking advantage of the river's currents. It requires focus, concentration, and patience. This is the technique of ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ.The ๐ฌ๐ฑ๐พ๐ท-๐ฝ๐พ technique involves using a series of spells to quite literally skip the stone across the water while avoiding any potential obstacles. It requires quick-thinking, creativity, and an ability to make the necessary compromises. This is the technique of ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ท.
The ๐บ๐ฒ๐พ-๐ผ๐ฑ๐พ technique involves using spells in order to take advantage of the surrounding environment-other stones, plants, the wind, water currents, even debris such as driftwood and litter. It requires cleverness, intelligence, and an analytical assessment of the big picture. This is the technique of ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐พ.
Finally, the ๐๐ฒ๐ช-๐ฑ๐พ technique involves using magic to have the stone plow straight across the water, heedless of any potential obstacles or the water's currents. It requires determination, resolve, and an ability to take challenges head-on. This is the technique of ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ช๐ท.

โโ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐ฎ๐ฒ is the house of the ox, the plum blossom, and winter. Their colors are dark pink and white, and sorceresses in House Mei are known for their resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity; like the plum blossoms that bloom vibrantly even amidst the harsh winter snow or the water-ox that swam untiringly across the Heavenly River to earn its place on the zodiac, these sorceresses don't know the meaning of 'giving up'. They are diligent, patient, determined, and tend to make decisions based on logic and a rational analysis of the situation. However, they are usually also stubborn and inflexible, unable to easily adapt to drastic changes, and they tend to play by the rules, no matter what. House Mei's dorms are located in a cozy house with plenty of sofas and a warm, comfortable cream and dull orange color palette.1
โโ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ท is the house of the rabbit, the orchid, and spring. Their colors are purple and yellow, and sorceresses in House Lan are known for their friendly, caring nature. Like the rabbit who hopped from stone to stone across the Heavenly River in order to earn its place on the zodiac, sorceresses of House Lan are expert compromisers and very creative. They love deeply, and they have an open-minded empathy for others that makes them well-liked by their peers; it isn't an exaggeration to say that they can see the silver lining on every storm cloud. However, these sorceresses are also perfectionists, always striving to meet the high standards that they set for themselves, and they can be manipulative, petty, and two-faced if they think they have been wronged. They tend to be rather emotional, and they can also be quite indecisive, not wanting to hurt anybody's feelings. House Lan's dorms are located in a renovated ancient Chinese village, with pagodas and water lilies and moon doors galore.1
โโ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐พ is the house of the rat, the chrysanthemum, and autumn. Their colors are orange and gold, and sorceresses of House Ju are known for their cleverness and intelligence, taking after the rat who became first on the zodiac by devising a cunning plan in order to win the race across the Heavenly River. Quick-witted, charming, and persuasive, these sorceresses are smart and adaptable, capable of seeing the "big picture" and quickly analyzing all the different components of a situation. They are risk-takers who aren't afraid to think outside the box and try something that nobody has ever tried before. However, sorceresses who are placed in House Ju are sometimes described as sly, cunning, and ruthless-and although this is an extreme characterization of them, it stems from a seed of truth. They are not afraid to bend the rules for their own benefit, and can be a bit judgmental of other people. House Ju's dorms are located in house that brings back memories of 1930s Shanghai; all gilt-lined panels and luxurious four-poster beds.1
โโ๐๐ธ๐พ๐ผ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ช๐ท is the house of the tiger, the lotus, and summer. Their colors are light pink and green, and sorceresses of House Ju are known for their courage and resolve. Indeed, like the lotus blossom itself, the sorceresses of House Lian are capable of going through hell and back without letting the world change their core values. Energetic and humorous, they are the true "rebels with a cause", though they also tend to be emotionally sensitive (almost prickly) and go way too overboard with some things. Sorceresses of House Lian thrive in the limelight, almost to the point of being attention whores, and they can also be rather reckless and/or impulsive; indeed, there are definitely people who have said that they can't tell whether these sorceresses are reckless, brave, or both. House Lian's dorms are located in a vintage luxury hotel/lodge. They love scaring people with the giant stuffed tiger in the main foyer. -

The school itself is located on the outskirts of Singapore, and behind the school lies the last remaining bit of Singapore's natural jungles, the Gui Jungle. The Mei-Li Institute of Arts and Sciences is officially registered as a prestigious private academy for girls, and all the buildings, classrooms, and dormitories are equipped with ancient illusions and glamours that take effect as soon as the presence of a human is detected on the school property. The buildings themselves are fairly new and modern, all polished glass and streamlined edges.

โโ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐๐พ๐ฒ ๐๐พ๐ท๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ is the last remaining bit of Singapore's natural jungles. It has been protected from human eyes and greed alike with millennia-old magic, employing the use of illusions, enchantments, and glamours. Although it is otherwise an ordinary jungle (and even ordinary jungles are far from, well, ordinary, but I digress), the sorceresses of the Institute can find many rare plants and animals in the jungle, which helps them make potions of all sorts. At the Institute, one of the most infamous detention assignments is going into the jungle with Professor Raja in order to find rare plants. No amount of feng you jing or qing liang you will deter the mosquitoes of the jungle.1
โโ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ช๐ซ๐ช๐ท๐ญ๐ธ๐ท๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ถ๐ธ๐ท๐ช๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐, located at the very edge of school grounds, is the subject of plenty of rumors. Upperclassmen like to scare freshmen with stories of the spirits of past monks that still linger within the ruins. No student has been inside, however; the ruins are strictly off-limits, though it is never specified as to why.1
โโ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ท๐ผ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ท is a large house in the center of school property, built when Singapore was still a British colony. It is one of the most-frequented buildings on school grounds, thanks to the fact that the main dining room and the library are here. It also houses the headmistress's office and other administrative offices, as well as a multitude of common areas, study rooms, and lounges.1
โโ๐ฅ๐ช๐ป๐ฒ๐ธ๐พ๐ผ ๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ผ/๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ช๐พ๐ป๐ช๐ท๐ฝ๐ผ are also scattered around the school grounds, for those who are just looking for a quick bite to eat. ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ธ๐ธ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ธ๐พ๐ป๐ฝ is in the same building as the gymnasium, and sells typical Asian fast food (stir-fry, ramen, rice, noodles/soup, etc) as well as pizza, fries, sandwiches, and salads. ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ช๐ป๐ธ๐ธ๐ถ caters to the 'crazy rich' portion of the student population, with its fairy-tale palace decor, Vietnamese iced coffee, over-priced bubble tea, and kawaii sweet treats. Finally, ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐ข๐น๐ป๐ฒ๐ท๐ฐ ๐๐ช๐ฐ๐ธ๐ญ๐ช serves traditional Asian teas of all sorts. Students can also take free calligraphy lessons there, since the owner is a dear friend of the headmistress's.1

โโ๐๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ๐ผ ๐ข๐พ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐พ (FC: Gong Li) became headmistress only five years ago. Her decision to open the school up to the entire world was met both applause and condemnation. She is much older than she appears to be, thanks to an excellent skincare routine (which she allegedly developed while she was still in school), and the truth about her past is shrouded in much mystery. Sumei is strict, but fair, and extremely protective of the Institute's students.
