Default Arithmancy Lesson One: Welcome & Transit Cycles I

The large wooden door to the Arithmancy classroom is held open by magic, allowing you to see the numerous desks arranged in rows within. Golden numbers float about the room, encircling the brazieres illuminating the classroom and bouncing lazily off the desktops. On each desk is a fresh, leather-bound journal full of blank parchment and a blank piece of cardstock, thicker than the standard parchment, which is folded in half lengthwise and standing upon the desk upright.

Professor Shackleton-Clark stands along the right side wall of the room, glancing out the windows onto the Grounds below. As you enter, she turns and offers a welcoming smile. This is going to be a great year!

OOC: This lesson is for ALL students of ANY year.
