I, The Villainess, Will Seduce All The Heroines Instead-World Building (3): Irasios Academy

"Where the stars shape destiny, and magic bends to will."

OVERVIEW

Irasios Academy is the most prestigious magical institution in the world, specializing in Zodiac Weaving, a form of celestial magic that channels the power of the twelve zodiac constellations and their planetary rulers. Students train to weave cosmic energy into spells, artifacts, and fate-altering techniques.

Built on an ancient leyline convergence, the academy itself is a mystical structure that shifts subtly with celestial movements. Every twelve years, the academy undergoes a phenomenon called the Grand Astral Shift, restructuring itself to align with the dominant Zodiac Era.

HISTORY AND FOUNDING

Founded over 3,000 years ago, Irasios Academy was established by the legendary mage Grandmaster Caelus Irasios, the first known Zodiac Weaver. He discovered that the cosmos was not just a distant force but a living, breathing system of magic that could be harnessed through careful study and attunement.

At first, the academy was a small order of scholars, but as astrology and magic became intertwined with civilization, Irasios Academy grew into a grand institution, shaping world leaders, master weavers, and celestial warriors.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

- The Eclipse War (842 A.C.) – A major conflict where rogue weavers attempted to "unbind fate" by severing planetary connections, nearly destroying the school. The war led to the Creation of the Twelve Guardians, legendary figures whose souls are eternally bound to protect the academy.

- The Cosmic Rapture (1576 A.C.) – A failed experiment where students attempted to summon the "Thirteenth Sign," Ophiuchus, causing an unstable tear in reality. The incident is now forbidden knowledge among students.

- The Grand Astral Shift (Occurs Every 12 Years) – A complete reconfiguration of the academy's architecture, shifting buildings, altering classroom locations, and reshuffling dormitories based on the celestial cycle.

THE HOUSE SYSTEM

Irasios Academy follows a House System, where students are assigned based on their dominant celestial alignment. These houses dictate their magical specialties, rivalries, and future professions.

House Solarius (Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Focus: Battle Weaving & Conjuration

Known for their fiery, aggressive magic, Solarius students are warriors, duelists, and frontline spellcasters. Their patron planet is the Sun, and their dormitory, The Ember Keep, burns with an eternal flame.

House Lunaris (Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Focus: Divination & Emotional Weaving

Specializing in clairvoyance, dream magic, and spiritual connections, Lunaris students wield the Moon's power. Their dormitory, The Silver Veil, is rumored to change shape with the lunar phases.

House Mercurial (Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Focus: Illusion & Cosmic Alchemy The tricksters, scholars, and innovators, Mercurial students bend reality with deception, transmutation, and celestial logic. Their domain, The Ethereal Spire, is a floating tower of ever-changing staircases.

House Terranova (Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Focus: Sigil Crafting & Celestial Architecture Masters of structure and reinforcement, these students weave magic into artifacts, landscapes, and defenses. Their fortress, The Starlit Forge, is said to be unbreakable by mortal hands.

Each house is governed by House Elders, professors who embody the pinnacle of their celestial magic.
