Cal is a LoveableRogue impersonating a wealthy young noblewoman she found dead when attempting to burglarize a room. She only hopes to rob the rich mages blind and maybe pick up a trick or two before she inevitably has to skip town. Lyssana was born with the wrong kind of abilities and was exiled to a faraway island of ElementalMagic users. She has been called back by her wealthy family and placed in Istima for a purpose she has yet to learn. Yam is a [[FantasticRacism minority species]] of nomads whose culture values truth and community above all else. He has decided that the only way to restore his family's honor is to become indistinguishable from a god and retroactively make his father a prophet instead of a lying cult leader. But they need to find out what can set them apart from the competition in the world of Apaernore's most famous school of magic.

* MageTower: Istima, the Six Court Academy, is a MagicSchool. Part of scholarships, status, and work studies include lodging on the school grounds. One of the many subtle status/power indicators at Istima is to be given lodgings in the towers. The higher the better.
*TheMagocracy: Istima, the Six Court Academy, is both a wildly powerful MagicSchool and a city-state unto itself. Though all the leaders are mages, and powerful, the trope is subverted. At some point wizards become so powerful that having a job, needing to afford food, and the approval of regular mortals means nothing to them. As such they stop teaching and abandon their important influential jobs to take the best parts of the BigLabyrinthineBuilding and slowly fade into history as they do incomprehensible things. No one is sure if they died, become gods, teleported away, are on multi-millennia astral projection trips, or if there are higher levels of the school. They just know that it's dangerous, boobie trapped, and anytime orders comes down from a high tower that it must be obeyed.

*AbsurdlyDividedSchool : Istima is referred to as the 'Six Court Academy'. There are stereotypes based on each court's unique hierarchy structure, public reputation, and how their different magics impact their world view. For instance, the rigid magic of the Autumn Court means the students are taught to follow rules and protocols strictly. They tend to be bureaucrats and lawyers. However, the Night Court's magic is based on individual will power and obstinance. They tend to have stubborn and personally charismatic leaders with little consistency between regimes. The story has a great deal of mingling between courts and lets characters be informed by learning to thrive in their specific court without being completely defined by it.
* AdoringThePests: Yam is obsessed with finding himself a familiar, or many many familiars, and has a running joke of wanting to steal and make friends with every eldritch terror and bloodthirsty beast he sees.

''[[https://impracticalmagic.org Impractical Magic]]'' is a WebSerialNovel published in 2020 by three authors using the pseudonyms Creator/{{SBB}}, Creator/{{Oberon}},and Creator/{{Nalta}}. Each writes a main character in the MagicSchool Istima, (AKA The Six Court Academy). The three viewpoint characters, Yam Hist of the Ken Seekers, Fen Calton, and Lyssana Terasu, each join a different court with a different magic system nd it's own culture. Godhood is considered a reasonable career path, corporate espionage between students and teachers is encouraged, and students trying to become healers are prone to causing serious accidents so they can get extra practice.
Cal is a LoveableRogue impersonating a wealthy young noblewoman she found dead when attempting to burgalarize a room. She only hopes to rob the rich mages blind and maybe pick up a trick or two before she inevitably has to skip town. Lyssana was born with the wrong kind of magic and exiled to a faraway island of ElementalMagic users. She has been called back by her wealthy family and placed in Istima for a purpose she has yet to learn. Yam is a [[FantasticRacism minority species]] of nomads whose culture values truth and community above all else. He has decided that the only way to restore his family's honor is to become indistinguishable from a god and retroactively make his father a prophet instead of a lying cult leader. But every student in Istima has high hopes, and they need to find out what can set them apart from the competition in the world of Apaernore's most famous school of magic.
