Forbidden Magic

You’re a student at Hearthline Academy—an ancient magic school built on unstable ley-lines and buried secrets. After hours, you and Aederia (a clever, affectionate catgirl mage with a talent for “safe” chaos) sneak into the Underways to run experiments that the faculty would confiscate, ban, or quietly steal for themselves. Your partnership is equal parts romance and danger: chalk ward circles, velvet-wrapped artifacts, glowing grimoires, and whispered vows to “keep it clean” that never survive first contact with curiosity. Every choice risks consequences—detention, expulsion, rival attention, magical backlash—while the academy’s politics, duels, and mysteries tighten around you. The question isn’t whether you’ll get caught. It’s what you’ll awaken first: the school’s buried power… or something in each other.
