Crowe had been an elemancer since she was seventeen. Travelling back and forth between Galahd and Insomnia itself, though doing most of her work on the islands, handling weather, forest fires, and other such necessary tasks.

She hadn’t gotten any formal schooling, hadn’t even finished high school properly. But she was still one of the nation’s foremost elemancers. The king had only begun granting his power again around fifteen years ago. Before that, elemancy had mostly been restricted to the royal family.

Well, the royal family and those in less tamed areas of the world willing to risk using raw elemental deposits without the protection of the king’s magic nourishing them and replenishing them.

But it was growing more common place, as the King provided his elemancer corps with power. And as others petitioned for the magic, and received it. Even those who didn’t were able to purchase elemental stores now, learn how to utilize it magically or to tinker with things like magitek; though Insomnia’s magitek sciences were miles behind advances in Niflheim.

It was reaching the point, though, where training was becoming an issue. Education on elemantic theory was patchy outside of royal halls and...

It’d lead to official licenses in the last year, required before you practiced elemancy, or to purchase elemental stores. And a few professors working with the University of Lucis in Insomnia. The University had asked for her, out of the Elemancer Corps’. So she’d been assigned, as a professor.

And here she was, standing on campus looking, and feeling, vaguely lost. Dressed in the traditional Galahdian version of the elemancer uniform, hair braided tightly and professionally, wearing a serviceable headpiece with three small crystals woven into the metal, each one imbued with a little elemancy.

She stopped a woman who looked about her age, frowning slightly. “Excuse me, but um. Would you happen to know where the building the new elemantic classes are being held, is? I was shown once before but, uh,” she huffed. “The dean was talking a hundred miles per minute and it’s not like I’ve ever been on campus before.”
