## About This Game
Professor of Magical Studies is an interactive magical school novel by Stephen
Granade, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based,
without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power
of your imagination.
You’re a professor of magical studies, specializing in pattern magic. When
magical practitioners study special patterns, they reshape their minds to turn
the potential energy between dimensions into magical energy and shape the
world to their will.
There are risks, of course. Practitioners are configuring their minds in non-
human ways, and there’s a limit to how much your mind can bounce back from
that. Then there are the self-aware, intelligent creatures in other dimensions
who can also perform magic. Sometimes, when you channel magic, one of these
creatures can cross over and takes up residence in the practitioner’s
mind…your mind.
But the risks are worth it. You’ve been invited to join the faculty at
Winfield Phillips College as a last-minute hire to replace a vanished
professor. Winfield Phillips doesn’t have a graduate program, but it does have
sharp undergrads who are natural fodder for your research. Now you have to
balance your own magical research with a teaching load, your students’ needs,
and your goal to become the youngest tenured faculty member the Winfield
Phillips has ever had. That’s assuming you don’t give up and go work for
Repro, the company that would love to have your magic research. Oh, and then
there’s the Vastness, and those incomprehensible cross-dimensional beings who
are drawn to magic use and who might just destroy the Earth.
All in a day’s work for Winfield Phillips’s most junior magical faculty
member.
