Kelpie Academy

Battle Mage Nicolas’ path to the Kelpie Academy was as unorthodox as the man himself. A seasoned duelist with a reputation for treating magic less like an art and more like a brawl, he applied to the Academy on a dare after a particularly rowdy tavern debate about “real teaching experience.” During the interview, instead of the expected lecture on curriculum standards, Nicolas challenged the Headmaster to a best-of-three Arcane Card duel—claiming it was the truest measure. The duel ended with Nicolas using his infamous card combo, scattering enchanted cards across the entire hall, including one that somehow turned the Headmaster’s robes into a flock of startled pigeons. Laughing through the chaos, the board decided anyone who could outwit three seasoned mages and turn bureaucracy into a battlefield would fit right in. Thus, Nicolas became the newest instructor in Card-based Arcane Magic and History—an unapologetic lone wolf whose classes feel less like lessons and more like legendary duels in the making.
