Wizarding in the Wild West
Blackburn Academy
of the
Magical Arts
The Blackburn Academy of the Magical Arts has been in the midst of a transition. While we will always offer magical classes to new witches and wizards, lately we have been preoccupied with a larger goal. We're no longer interested in just teaching those with an in-born aptitude for working spells; we wish to assist all parties who have desires by meeting them where they're at. We want to help everyone with desire to achieve by meeting them where they're at. We seek to expand their capacities through cultivating their natural gifts and motivations, regardless of their natural abilities.
In order to do this, we have found it necessary to change the name of the Blackburn Academy in order to distinguish this from our previous endeavors. So let us be the first to welcome you to
Masters Mortimer and
Benjamin Blackburn's
School
for the
Alchemical
Arts
This school is open for enrollment. You may enroll below. You can also read more about it here. FYI, In the mundane world, it goes by a rather mediocre name, Thirdofeight Institute for Creativity, but in the wizarding community, it maintains the name of Masters Mortimer and Benjamin Blackburn's School for the Alchemical Arts.
One of the integral aspects of this new system of teaching is providing unfettered access to the skills and knowledge that are required by student's goals. Though our resources are limited, we have a growing list of skills and abilities we offer. We have listed them below.
