"Harmony is the quiet force that binds power to purpose."

Professor Faelan first arrived at Apogee Academy in 1907, already considered an eccentric prodigy by many in the magical community. His early research explored the unheard-of concept that magic itself could respond emotionally, thriving, weakening, or transforming based on the bond between spellcaster and source. Though once dismissed as whimsical speculation, his thesis on “Sentience in Tethered Aether” earned him recognition among his peers, validating his revolutionary theories.

Shortly after joining Apogee’s faculty, his lectures became legendary for their gentleness, wonder, and deeply immersive demonstrations. Students found themselves not merely studying magic, but entering into conversation with it listening, responding, and learning to coexist with the entities that make arcane life possible.

Over his decades at the Academy, Professor Faelan has guided research that reshaped how spellcasters, healers, summoners, druids, and spiritual scholars understand the living magic around them. His influence extended beyond academia when his groundbreaking work on Familiar-Caster Empathic Loops became the foundation for modern training involving familiars, bonded spirits, and living constructs.

The Academy has repeatedly honored him with the “Aetherbond Honor” Prize, recognizing his unmatched contributions to interwoven spellcraft and the emotional ethics of magic.
