We don't exactly *know* that all of the magic lessons are individual - I'm amused by the thought that Lillet is That One Kid at the front of the classroom who is the only one who asks questions - but the setup strongly implies no more than a few dozen students, and probably less, possibly only four. That sure doesn't sound like they have lectures in cavernous auditoriums with hundreds of students. But on the first Night Before, Gammel tells Lillet that lectures are arranged around her schedule. In other words, there really are only four teachers in the entire Magic Academy.īut how many students? It's hard to be sure. Given that Lillet's first lessons upon arrival in Glamour and necromancy are with the top instructors, Gammel and Opalneria, we may also infer that they are the only teachers of those disciplines, and presumably Advocat is the only sorcery teacher. On the first Day 3, Chartreuse refers to himself as *the* alchemy teacher. There are surely more humans - guards, accountants, representatives of the Crown - but we don't know that there are more *magicians*.Įven if you think there *are* more magicians there, there probably aren't more than, say, two dozen. They aren't really a part of magical academia. You can also count Advocat and Amoretta Virgine, sort of, but for purposes of thinking about how magic is taught and disseminated, I'd lump them in with Gaff instead. Prior to Lillet's arrival, there are only a few magicians that we know are living in the Silver Star tower: Gammel Dore, Chartreuse Grande, Opalneria Rain, Bartido Ballentyne, Hiram, and Margarita Surprise. Gammel Dore is the greatest living wizard in the entire world. On the face of it, it's more than a little strange to start from the premise that the characters we're shown in canon are *not* typical.īut.the fact is, they're just *not*. Principle Two: Most magicians are not Gammel Dore. However, sometimes ignorance really is the answer: we'll discuss below how the average person cannot tell the (important!) difference between a simple laboratory and a golem-constructing engraving. Principle One: Common folk fear and hate magicians because of things that magicians actually can do, not because of things that other people in other worlds might be imagined to be able to do. Wainwrights do indeed have abilities that non-wainwrights do not have, but tooth-rotting is not one of them. But it would be pretty strange to accuse wainwrights *as a class* of a litany of invisible crimes. Presumably there has been at least one wainwright in history accused of tooth-rotting and penis theft. Did the real world have anything like that? Sure. They are people who study long and hard to gain skills and abilities that others do not have. In the GG world, magicians are an actual thing that actually exists. You can make up any litany of crimes you want, just as long as none of them are visible. It's one thing to accuse infirm elderly women of tooth-rotting and penis theft. Because.there are no magicians in the real world. Never, in the entire history of the real world, have magicians ever been persecuted. "But magicians were persecuted in the real world! Of course they would be in the GrimGrimoire world!" "Some regions continue to have witch hunts to this day."įirst we must dispose of an answer that is wrong, but springs immediately to mind. He also wanted to save those who had the potential and skills to be a magician."įrom "Magicians": "Only recently has the status of magicians within the kingdom become much higher, but nothing changes the fact that they are still feared and alienated in society. He had requested the king many times to save the magicians who were being persecuted and even losing their lives due to oppression. Interested in anyone's thoughts, or if anyone already has fanon that explains this differently.įirst a review from NIS's official website:įrom "The History of Wizards": "The grand wizard, Gammel Dore, had always believed that magicians needed a higher social status. The emphasis is on many possible answers, so you could always decide that, for example, the only kind of necromancer you want is a Necromancer Impostress (see below). What follows is an exploration of how the world might look, some of which is tied to canon, some of which we pretty much have to fill in from literally zero clues. We will be exploring just why the GrimGrimoire world has witch hunts. We're told that magicians are persecuted. This was inspired by discussions in the Seirei's Gate thread, but it swiftly exploded into something that fits better here.
