So I had thought of this kind of plot for a while now and after being involved in a few sites I thought I'd just put this out there because it was be something I'd really like and enjoy. Now bare with me, no names are finalized nor is the structure stable. After all this is just a quick overview of the kind of story and world I'd personally enjoy and I know someone else out there would enjoy it too. If you want to do something with this idea, than more power to you. Just link me when you are done. Lol

Mana Ruling; A Fantasy Magic Academy

Since it's discovery and adoption, the art of magic has been a subject of much study. Needing years of practice to master, and even more years to expand upon. However the line between White Magic and Black Magic is been a thing buried in controversy and subject to ideals. No more though. Under the new rule of a new king. King Faustino the II, the White Magic Academy of Angelhart and the Dark Magic School of Dragonborne have been combined. Now forming the Academy of Mana in the center of the new capital city of Bazyn. The two Headmasters of Angelhart and Dragonborne have been in a feud since the founding of these two institutes. Yet after years of drown out talks and negotiations, they have come to an understanding and agreed to co-lead the new Academy of Mana. However the students and other faculty continue to dislike and even bare hatred to the other side while some students and teaches attempt to leave the past behind them and move forward into the future. Constant rivalry, endless fighting, all around good times.

Now I think that this is pretty clear. In this form, a person could make a student, faculty member, or citizen of the new city Bazyn. Pretty much anyone could learn magic from studying it or by having a high natural affinity for the source of magic, mana. Though anyone of the three mentioned character types could use magic, only students and faculty will be able to use a special type of magic known as specializing magic. For instance let us say someone is an earth magic user. Pretty normal earth spells and what not. However, in addition they specialize in metal working magic which allows them to manipulate and or do other things with metals.  

Similarly, since this is fantasy~ other races besides human could exist and have an affinity to a general type of magic. A small guilty-pleasure of an idea I had is the ability for some people to have some kind of curse and or aspect to their character that would allow them to perform two kinds of magics. For instance, a person that uses healing magic. Yet they have a ghost hunting them so they have the ability to see spectral or otherworldly happenings. Or they are able to perform magic normally, yet only if they have a unique focus or medium.

This is all just ground work and a structure to be built on and detailed later if people find it interesting enough. Animanga obviously though. Hah.

Here's my two cents:

At the moment there are many School Life rps - more than I can count at times. It's a very played out theme, in my opinion. That being said, people still join these types of forums. They're well known and always prominent (like pokemon rps.). So, I ask of you, if you're going to make a School based rp, make sure to implement original elements.

Reading over what you said, it seems like this forum is heading in the right direction. The whole rivalry thing is, again, used often, but it's at least something fun. Personally the last thing you mentioned is probably the most alluring feature you mentioned. Use something like that. Make you forum it's own and do something that hasn't been done. 

I dunno I don't mean to come off as harsh or discouraging, so please don't take it that way. It's just my opinion.

Thank you for that two cents. I will spend it well. Yet what do you mean by the last thing I mentioned?
