Short description
A wizard academy management sim where you—an obviously benevolent professor—must manage & cast spells on your many apprentices so that they might study the right spells… and perhaps even survive the researching process. Some may die, but oh well, can’t save them all!
About this game
The Fool's Apprentice is a magic school simulator that puts you in the position of Arcanist Tharn, a mage from a prestigious family by the same name. As this accomplished wizard, you will shepherd your many woefully unskilled apprentices towards a modicum of knowledge... by ensuring they cannot possibly step outside the bounds of proper curriculum. Levitate them, toss them around, control their minds or wipe them, and even throw them into portals to other worlds! The good apprentices will survive, surely.

Arcanoscience , and its related fields of mago-mechanical study, has been discovered, and as engineering marvels both profound in their spellcraft and ingenious in their design are constructed... it has come time for the next generation of apprentices. One wizened Arcanist shall teach them... You! Strategize and construct the ideal Conservatory, choosing fields of magical study to focus upon, arcane workstations of varying risk, effect, and difficulty, and decorations both cosmetic and of eldritch power! Manage & Cast Spells On each and every apprentice, directing them away from such foolish things as "ambition", and "artistic passion," towards the most socially acceptable magicks... or defy the Arcane Conservatory itself and spread magic among the people! Decorate and customize your own Arcane Conservatory in this wizard academy Simulator! Engage in the Narrative-driven ebb and flow o…
