Academy Buildings
- Student Life: These areas are where the students of Starlight Academy spend most of their non-class time. Club rooms, dorms, and other areas provide recreation for students of all ages and ensure that their social well being never wavers for lack of something to do.
- Dorms: These are where the students who live on campus retreat to to shower, sleep, socialize in private, and do homework. The most common form of dorm room is an apartment style tenement with two individual bedrooms/bathrooms for each roommate as well as a shared living room with attached kitchenette. The dorms are roughly broken up by age group and academic year.
- Student Lounge: The Student Lounge is full of sofas, chairs, soda and snack machines and relaxing music. After school hours students will congregate here to study, converse, and swap stories before they head back to their dorms. The lighting is calming and mellow, and when it gets dark out the room is illuminated by the soft glow of lamplight. Despite the area being active and populated, study groups are often hosted there as well as club meetings occasionally.
- Cafeteria: The cafeteria is available for students to receive meals throughout the day. The kitchen here offers out rotating menus of standard dishes with an occasional specialty dish to give the students some variety. The food in the cafeteria tries to accommodate as many dietary needs as it can, but is not always able to provide for more exotic diets.
- Infirmary: A standard clinic style area of the school, this is where you go if you are sick or injured. The infirmary is staffed by nurses who can treat a wide range of ailments. For more serious conditions or incidents, the school is almost always ready to transport a student to Manta Carlos General Hospital.
- Ballroom: The ballroom is a massive, circular room with a mezzanine upper floor accessible by a large branching staircase. Large open windows grant a view of the academy grounds and the forest beyond. The ground floor has a large open dance floor and an ornate chandelier hangs from the vaulted ceiling. The ballroom is used for both graduation and the masquerade ball, among other events.
- Dorms: These are where the students who live on campus retreat to to shower, sleep, socialize in private, and do homework. The most common form of dorm room is an apartment style tenement with two individual bedrooms/bathrooms for each roommate as well as a shared living room with attached kitchenette. The dorms are roughly broken up by age group and academic year.
- Education:
- Administration: The administration wing is a hub of activity dedicated to keeping the academy in order. Many of the staff members, including the head mistress herself, have their offices in this wing. Registrations, the IT department, financial aid, and student services are all located in this wing. Students experiencing difficulty, whether with class studies, bullying, or behavior problems, are encouraged to come speak to a guidance counselor or adviser in the Administration Wing.
- Library: The library is vast, full of all sorts of books from all around the world. The smell of warm books always fills the air. Comfortable chairs and seating areas provide ample study room for students. There are several private study rooms with noise-reduction spells on them as well, giving students the opportunity to work on group projects without disturbing other. The library houses many old tomes on magic that are in fragile condition. The school is working to digitize and preserve these books, but it is a work in process completed by library employees and student volunteers. These books may only be read in the special collections section of the library with special permission. Some of these books are cursed and require special care to handle without injury or property damage - these books are kept inside of individually-sealed enchanted boxes inside of another magically insulated room inside of special collections.
- The Arts: The Arts Wing is one of the most well-loved wings in the academy due to the versatility of the classes found inside. While the arts may include such things as sculpture, painting, photography, they also teach a variety of magical arts including decorative illusions, the playing of magical instruments, and more. The tech lab is divided into two separate sections; one lab helps students unaccustomed to modern technology adapt to the present technology, while the other lab is for the invention and practice of advanced technology.
- Power Classes: Most of the power classes take place in either the power class rooms, many of which resemble a gymnasium with a large pool, a sparring room, or simulated locations like a town or classroom, or outdoors in the Sports Field. All Power Class Rooms are enchanted to reset back to normal regardless of what damage occurs to them.
- Administration: The administration wing is a hub of activity dedicated to keeping the academy in order. Many of the staff members, including the head mistress herself, have their offices in this wing. Registrations, the IT department, financial aid, and student services are all located in this wing. Students experiencing difficulty, whether with class studies, bullying, or behavior problems, are encouraged to come speak to a guidance counselor or adviser in the Administration Wing.
- Empty Rooms: Starlight Academy is a massive school with an amazing enchantment worked into the very building. The school can easily accommodate a large number of students. However, there are many unused rooms hidden throughout the building if a savvy student knows where to look. These rooms are usually vacant either from lack of need, remodeling, or are temporarily closed due to a spell work gone awry. They're the easiest place to grab a nap between classes or study when you don't want someone to find you.
