	Viridian administrators have an unusually lax attitude towards the activities that take place on the grounds of the Arcanium. They view the political and social benefits of the Arcanium to be of far more importance than their otherwise typically unbending enforcement of the Dominion's laws, even to the point of overlooking necromancy, normally banned in Viridia, as long as such actions do not go too far or harm nearby communities.

	All students at the Arcanium are wizards or other practitioners of learned magic.

Admission to the Arcanium is based on demonstrations of existing skill as well as a hefty ~~fee~~. All who join the Arcanium are expected to have already attained a great level of education beforehand, whether independently or at other schools.

Admission to the Arcanium is based on demonstrations of existing skill as well as a hefty tuition. All who join the Arcanium are expected to have already attained a great level of education beforehand, whether independently or at other schools - it is highly unusual to have young students at the Arcanium.

	There is no real notion of graduation at the Arcanium - students simply when they are ready. If one doesn't perform up to the expected standards of their peers, however, they may find themselves asked to leave in order to make space for new arrivals from the Arcanium's endless list of prospective students. In large part this causes the extremely high level of competitiveness at the school, as all constantly seek to surpass their peers in order to not fall behind.		There is no real notion of graduation at the Arcanium - students simply leave when they are ready and believe their abilities to have peaked. If one doesn't perform up to the expected standards of their peers, however, they may find themselves asked to leave in order to make space for new arrivals from the Arcanium's endless list of prospective students. In large part this causes the extremely high level of competitiveness at the school, as all constantly seek to surpass their peers in order to not fall behind.

	Despite the competitive nature of student life in the Arcanium, ~~all~~ those attending the school must abide by strict guidelines as to their behavior as it relates to other students. Any action that would endanger others at the school, for example, are forbidden under threat of immediate expulsion. However, these rules pointedly do not forbid any specific acts of magic, as the magisters believe to do so would stifle innovation and development. As a result it is not uncommon for students to attempt dangerous or sometimes morally questionable acts of magic, as long as they do so out of sight of others, preferably in the forests near the school or in the extensive ruined tunnels beneath it.
