Hi Ed! Another Realms question for you, if you don’t mind. You’re always so gracious with answering all our strange queries. Anyway, I’m wondering if there’s anything written about life at a typical “wizard academy” in the Realms? Any books I should be looking at? Bob touched on drow wizards learning in Menzo in his Homeland trilogy, but not a prolonged focus. I've mentioned abodes of tutors in some Dragon articles, but there are no "typical" wizard academies in the Realms. ;}

Alright, thank you – I suppose that makes sense, given the intricacies of the Art and those who practice it. Still, it’d be interesting to know more about the everyday lives of a budding wizard and their peers! Wise wizards who take apprentices often use ruins for practise, practise, practise in private, then set up practical real-world missions that will involve casting same spell(s) "for real," with the tutor scrying from afar or lurking to provide backup if needed. #Notalltutorswise
