Moreoever, in order to graduate, seniors cross through the lowest floor of Scholomance (considered the "graduation ceremony"), which was designed as a barrier to keep mals outs.
Still, mals manage to get in, so students must be on alert, especially loners like El. Scholomance is structurally designed to protect young, untrained wizards from maleficaria ("mals"), dangerous creatures that feed on wizards for their mana. Afterwards, the mirror repeats a prophesy that El has already heard before, that El is the bringer of death and will sow death and doom and bring down enclaves. She recruits Aardhya (artificer), an acquaintance of hers, and Orion (alchemist) to help. El is an incanter and has a project that requires all three disciplines to complete. There are three educational tracks at school: incantations, alchemy, or artifice. It leads to a major boost to El's popularity. After the misunderstand is cleared up, Orion continues to hang out with El. However, the actual culprit, Jack, ends up attacking El, and Orion saves her. Orion starts hanging around El because he suspects she is a maleficer who had something to do with the recent disappearance of one of their classmates, Louisa. Entry into an enclave is highly sought-after, and everyone sucks up to students born into enclaves, called " enclavers", in hopes of securing a spot. Enclaves (identified based on location) are groupings of wizards that share power and protect each other. Orion's family is part of the New York enclave, the most powerful enclave in the world and his mother is soon to be the leader of it. Orion Lake is a very well-connected classmate, considered the "hero" of their class. Whereas Mana (the "good" type) is generated through effort, like exercise or labor. Malia (the "bad" type) draws from the life-force of other living things, and users of it are known as "maleficers". There are two types of power that can fuel spells: malia and mana. Others can often sense her darkness, too, which is why El is a loner. Learning non-destructive spells is much more difficult for her, while destructive spells are overpowered in her hands. She doesn't want to be a dark wizard (a " maleficer"), but her affinity for destruction limits her ability to use her powers in other ways. She's also someone with a very strong natural ability for mass destruction and the dark arts.
Galadriel ("El") is a junior at Scholomance, a school of magic.
