24	->'''Magic School:''' Fire
25
26	Professor of Fire Magic at the Ravenwood School.
27
28	* DidntThinkThisThrough: In a flashback dungeon, we see her as a newly-accepted Ravenwood student of the Ice school. ''She's a Fire Elf.'' [[spoiler:It's later revealed that she was manipulated by the Maestro into choosing the Ice school, and the Wizard convinces her to switch to the Fire school.]]
29	%%* MsFanservice: Female Fire Elves seem to have this in common. [[ArousedByTheirVoice Her voice helps, too.]]
30	* SternTeacher: Though much friendlier than Cyrus, her training quests reveal that she holds her students to a very high standard.

41	Professor of Ice Magic at the Ravenwood School.
42
43	* AllLovingHero: Makes cookies and knits robes for her students, and even sympathizes with the Gobblers trying to consume Colossus Boulevard.
44	* CoolOldLady: Professor at the Spiral's greatest school of magic and [[spoiler:a member of the Council of Light, along with Merle Ambrose.]] She also casually mentions hailing from [[LevelAte a world full of candy]].
45	* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Appears as a tiny, winged elderly woman. It's currently unknown if she's from the same race of fairies as the others present in the game.

51
52	->''"Who can master the storms and seas? Why, anyone who can harness their creativity!"''
53
54	->'''Magic School:''' Storm
55
56	Professor of Storm Magic at the Ravenwood School.
57
58	* GadgeteerGenius: His defining characteristic. Several of the Storm school's training quests involve him sending you to [[TwentyBearAsses collect parts]] for one of his new magical contraptions.
59	* ThePollyanna: Halston was born into poverty as a member of Marleybone's working-class Frog race. In a flashback dungeon, he's shown to have been kidnapped and nearly killed by the crimelord Meowiarty's thugs [[spoiler:as part of the Maestro's plan to alter the timeline]]. Throughout the entire Celestia storyline, his best friend Thurston Plunkett is missing and presumed dead. Despite all this, he's by far the most positive and energetic of the Ravenwood professors.
60	* SignatureHeadgear: Always seen wearing his trademark purple top hat. The player can obtain the hat as a rare item drop from the Professor's Hoard pack.

63	[[folder:Cyrus Drake]]
64	!!Professor Cyrus Drake
65	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyrus.jpg]]
66
67	->''"Well, if you wish to... attempt to learn some Myth spells, come back later and we'll see how well you pay attention."''
68
69	->'''Magic School:''' Myth
70
71	Professor of Myth Magic at the Ravenwood School.
72
73	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: During the Cyclops Lane questline, Cyrus has you personally hand Ambrose a letter asking for your expulsion. Originally, he did this entirely because you were prioritizing ''finding missing students'' over your schoolwork; when Wizard City's quests were rewritten, this was changed so that he misinterprets a message describing the situation[[note]]"The Trolls are revolting"[[/note]] as a bad joke at his school's expense.
74	* ArbitrarySkepticism: The teacher of the magic school about bringing imagination to life, ironically, does not believe that the legendary ghoul Grubb is real.
75	* BaldMystic: After Ambrose, Morganthe and Malistaire, he's the most powerful wizard alive. He's completely bald. [[spoiler:In one of the flashback dungeons, he's revealed to have once had a large "afro" hairstyle.]]
76	* BeefGate: The player must duel Cyrus to prove their readiness to face his brother Malistaire in the fortress world of Dragonspyre. If the player doesn't know what they're doing or is severely underleveled, [[ThatOneBoss it can take a few tries.]]
77	* BigGood: Of the world of Dragonspyre-- he assists the Wizard from the Basilica in their efforts to bypass the ruined city's defenses and apprehend Malistaire.
78	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The first time a Myth Wizard meets him, he states that he will “humor” their interest in his school and to not get used to being there, illustrating his low expectations for the new student.
79	* {{Expy}}: Especially in the early quest lines, his personality is very clearly based on that of [[Franchise/HarryPotter Severus Snape]]. This is downplayed as the game progresses and more of his background is revealed, to the point of being something VirtuousCharacterCopy.
80	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Although he's ''definitely'' a colossal {{Jerkass}}, he does care for his brother [[BigBad Malistaire]]. He also develops a reluctant bond with a Myth-aligned player (albeit very slowly.)
81	* MentorInSourArmor: He is shown early on to be extremely cynical and doubtful of the Wizard. The first Myth training quest is impossible to initially complete. Even non-Myth students are still treated with disdain ''at best''. However, he eventually warms up to the Wizard and becomes nicer to them. He even helps them in Dragonspyre.
82	* TookALevelInKindness: He becomes less unpleasant with time.
83	* VirtuousCharacterCopy: While his personality at first is a near dead-ringer for [[Franchise/HarryPotter Severus Snape]], Cyrus has several nuances that set him apart from the SadistTeacher, even with Snape's own HiddenDepths. For one, Cyrus is quite content with being the Myth Professor, as it was his chosen school by choice and thus he lacks any complaints with his job that Snape did. And while Snape was a DoubleAgent, with his loyalties being unknown, Cyrus was always a staunch ally of Wizard City and legitimately leads the charge against his brother in Dragonspyre. His background also lacks the [[AbusiveParents abusive nature]] of Snape's, and is in fact, so different that drawing comparisons isn't quite so easy.

86	[[folder:Moolinda Wu]]
87	!!Professor Moolinda Wu
88	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moolinda.jpg]]
89
90	->''"This school celebrates the living, ever-green power of creation and vitality."''
91
92	->'''Magic School:''' Life
93
94	Professor of Life Magic at the Ravenwood School.
95
96	* HippieTeacher: Prefers to share her knowledge of Life magic with her students through meditation and contemplation, in accordance with the traditions of her home world of Mooshu.
97	* MagicalAsian: Although not truly Asian (or human at all), her Asian voice actress, tendency to assign students to meditation/tests of focus, and homeworld of Feudal Japan-inspired Mooshu qualify her for this trope.
98	* UnexpectedSuccessor: Hired as the Life professor after her predecessor, Sylvia Drake, unexpectedly passes away from disease. She does a good job, though.

102	!!Assistant Professor Dworgyn
103	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dworgyn.jpg]]
104
105	->''"Nobody comes to the school anymore, not since Malistaire left. I do what I can."''
106
107	->Voiced by: Tom Purdue
108
109	->'''Magic School:''' Death
110
111	Interim Professor of Death Magic at the Ravenwood School.
112
113	* BeleagueredAssistant: Spent his early life as a domestic slave to his [[WickedStepmother "aunts"]] in Darkmoor, then began his teaching career as an assistant to the notoriously overbearing Malistaire Drake. It's no wonder he's uneasy as an independent instructor.
114	* TheIgor: Formerly to Malistaire, and as revealed to Necromancers, even earlier to Dr. Von Katzenstein. As the interim Death Professor, he begins to grow out of this role over the course of the Death training quests, eventually becoming a powerful Necromancer in his own right.
115	* {{Noob}}: He was originally Malistaire Drake's teaching assistant, and is still adjusting to his role as his interim replacement. During Death Wizards' graduation quest, he mentions that they've taught him as much, if not more as they have learned from him.

121
122	->''"Come, and be a part of the balance of all things."''
123
124	->'''Magic School:''' Balance
125
126	Professor of Balance Magic at the Ravenwood School's Krokotopia location.
127
128	* EccentricMentor: The vast majority of his lessons don't make any sense until after they've been completed, if at all.
129	* {{Expy}}: InNameOnly, literally. He shares his name with Abdul Alhazred, the MadOracle responsible for writing the Necronomicon in Creator/HPLovecraft's legendarium.
130	* GrumpyOldMan: Starts out this way, though he quickly warms to a Balance-aligned player.

135	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diego.jpg]]

137	->''"I know the path is hard, but have courage and faith in your heart. We will do whatever we can to assist you."''
138
139	->'''Magic School:''' Unknown
140
141	Duelmaster of the Ravenwood School.
142
143	* TheAnnouncer: His primary responsibility is to teach students to use their magic in a combat environment, but he also enjoys emceeing [=PvP=] battles and tournaments. [[LargeHamAnnouncer Passionately.]]
144	* {{Flynning}}: In the Dueling Diego minigame, the player controls Diego as he flashily sword-fights several pirate-themed enemies.
145	* LargeHam: [[Film/ThePrincessBride Inigo Montoya]] ''in unicorn form''. He's grandstanding, charismatic and loves to offer elaborate "advice" to practicing students.
146	* OverlyLongName: {{Lampshaded}} in the Abracadoodle comic on the website.

150	!!School Librarian Harold Argleston
151	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/argleston.jpg]]
152
153	->''"You picked up this book someone dropped? Thank you for doing that. It was very considerate of you."''
154
155	->'''Magic School:''' N/A
156
157	Librarian of the Ravenwood School.
158
159	* GentlemanAndAScholar: A proper Marleybonian through and through, his favorite things in life include crossword puzzles, rare antiquities and tea with biscuits. He also ''wrote his own favorite book.''
160	* MugglesDoItBetter: He's not a wizard himself, but he's efficiently categorized the ''enormous'' selection of books in the Wizard City Library, and has a team of student interns to handle the magical part of the job.
161	* TheStoic: Rarely displays much emotion, even when possessed Ravenwood students steal the [[SealedEvilInACan Book of Lost Pages]] from his Library and proceed to wreak havoc on Wizard City.

172	Registrar of the Ravenwood School.
173
174	* FaceOfAThug: Looks perpetually irritated, but is in reality extremely helpful and dedicated to the students under his care.
175	* MrExposition: Even though he isn't a wizard himself, he'll frequently give the player tips about how to use their magic (as well as general gameplay advice.)
176	* SkillPointReset: For a significant fee, Mr. Lincoln can reset a wizard's training points, allowing them to completely respec all their off-school spells.
