"I can join you as your new student, sir."The archmage smiled at your words. And you could see surprise in the faces of the two young boys. From what you had heard, they were the children of a noble and important family, so the thought of you being of equal rank to them was probably shocking.
"I love it when young ones wish to learn. But I must tell you. To truly devote oneself to the ways of magic is a path that requires sacrifices to be made. You might have an innate understanding of magic, but you'll need to study. And this is a dangerous subject to study." His smile disappeared, and his face turned serious "Are you sure you want to follow this path?"
"I am sure... Master." Your words seemed to work, as he smiled again.
"Then we shall go back to my humble residence. You must learn a few things before we start. Boys, keep doing your work. We will se you again at the tower."
And so, you followed Loghart through the forest. After an hour of silent walking, you saw a really tall building, surrounded by high walls. Loghart led you to the entrance, and the doors opened before him. The whole place was full of magic. It seemed even unnatural.
He then led you to a room inside the tower. The whole tower was decored like it was a palace, and the room was enormous and luxurious. It seemed like the room of a princess, not that of an stundent.
"You are free to go around the tower and the inner walls. You can use the books in the library to study, and the special rooms of the basement and the third floor for practising. There are only three rules. You musn't enter someone else's room uninvited, you musn't go outside the walls during the night and you musn't enter the dungeons of the tower. There, I store the results of my experiments, and some of them are dangerous."
He proceeded to leave the room, but before doing so, he said one last thing.
"Whenever you feel you are ready, you will be able to take the Test. But do not be too fast to do so. The Test is the final step before being considered a true Magi, a member of our Order, and it is difficult and full of risks."

Spells that say on their description that can be easily maintained mean that they can be maintained for days or more, with a mere reduction to your recovery of energy. Spells that say they can be maintained mean that the reduction is greater. Spells that can be shortly maintained drain your energy bit by bit. Any other Spell is not possible to maintain, due to it having an effect that can't be maintained (like throwing a fireball). You can always spend more and more energy on a single spell to increase its effects. Maintained too many spells can mean that you don't get to recover ANY of your used energies or even be drained day by day of them.
