Now open to the public, the School of Sorcery and Tactics is now accepting gifted minds who would like to learn about the workings of the inner mind and how to survive in the wild.
"Have you heard of this new school," Pandilex asked a stranger.
Slighty off guard, the stranger replies, "It's the best around, I've Heard."
Unfitted to the area, the building stands 4 stories tall, is made of a yellowish concrete, and is covered in water stains as though it has been around for decades. Small barred windows fill the empty face of the building, surrounded by script of a foreign language, possibly spells and wards to protect the compound. Two statues watch the premises on either side of the door, which is made of a strong oak wood and has no handle. Slowly walking to the door, Pandilex notices a small sign on the door.
Only the true of heart may enter the school.
Pandilex pushes slightly on the door, cautious of what may happen. "Welcome welcome, you are Pandilex a presume. We have been waiting for you, not many people are as highly gifted as you in the arts of the mind. Please come sign in, we have a lot to talk about, you must have many questions about us and what we teach here."
"That's why we decided it was finally show ourselves the the community, hopefully we'll be strong enough to put an end to the treachury. I must go now, the stranger you were talking to should be due anytime, he isn't as brave as you in venturing into the new," and with a flash, the desciple dissapears.

Learn how to use Bolt
Many sorcerers and wizards have passed the spell down through their kin, but after I leaned of it, I decided it was time to let the masses know of this powerful spell. Centuries ago a wizard by the name Olclha delve into the reaches of spells and how they worked. Years later and years more intelligent, he decided to try and variate small spells to make them easier to learn or more powerful. Although thought as one of the founding users of the spell shock he actually just derived a powerful spell from it, bolt. For reasons unknown at the time, Olclha decided to abandon the use of the spell and refused to tell all who wanted to know of it, but years of persuasion by a trusted friend releived Olclha of his burden. Olclha taught the spell to his fellow wizard and warned him that although the spell could deal incredible ammounts of damage, it was also very dangerous to use. Two months later, the wizards body was found chard under a large tree; Olclha feeling responsible for the wizards death, was never heard from again. After he left...

You found a book that doesn't belong here
The Secrets of Shock (to get story you must equip the book [would go in weapon spot], the browser then fills with story)
Most beginning wizards, mages, and sorcerers learn the weak spell, shock, when they first start out in their studies of magic, but few ever learn it well enough to manipulate it. Through these people, we have learned new abilities of the mind and been able to strengthen the ones we already have. From this small group of masters a few stand out; Olclha, Adith Elendar, and Mariss Belmer. Although masters of magic, each of these wizards mysteriously dissapeared after teaching their abilities to others. (more...)

I think you all get the idea of the library

You are standing in a long gold hall. Dozens of sapphire colored doors line the hall. You can go East and West through the hall or South down a marble stairway.

This is a rough draft, generally an outline of my idea. I wouldnt mind some input, i will add more tomorrow.
Edit 1: Added more descriptions
Edit 2: Added more descriptions
Edit 3: Added more descriptions
Edit 4: Fixed some gramatical and color errors
Edit 5: Added more descriptions
The area is kind of hard to visualize from how i put them...but its hard to explain the layout of the school without a map, and even with a map, it could be difficult to understand as doors and stairways are basically vortexes that lead to places not necessarily on the 'other side' of the door. If you follow Pandilex, you can get a vague idea of the place. He started in reception hall, but didn't start with it, instead he then went west in the meeting room to talk, from there he went to the library to read, there after going east to the meeting room he was originally in and went up the stairs. From there, he went through a sapphire door and ended up in the sapphire hall; went down the stairs to the meeting room, then west to the reception hall again.
