House Vaelis (The School of Return): Focuses on the metaphysical science of soul-sleep. Students learn to identify when a soul has collapsed into the Violet Current by tracing the lag heartbeats between a breath and its echo.
House Thren (The School of Dissonance): Believing that contradiction reveals the soul's hidden structure, students intentionally cast minor spells anchored to conflicting emotions to map underlying magical friction.
House Iraleth (The School of the Still Ink): The masters of the Shadow Clan death rites. They learn the mechanics of the "Dimming," mastering protocols for extinguishing artificial light and anchoring shadows with obsidian spikes.
