The last of the students to enter the classroom are followed in by the little professor who could easily be mistaken for a student himself. He walks around the room as students seat themselves, watching their movements and committing their faces to memory, already sorting the ones he likes from the ones he dislikes based on their movements. At last, he goes up to the front of the room and stands behind his desk, noticeably rising up a few more inches as he steps up on a little step stool he has placed back there.
"Alright," He begins with noticeable caution, taking care to complete every action during his first class with perfection. "My name is Haku Sakuran, and I'm the new hexing professor. I'll be teaching and training you in the art of hexing and cursing. Some of you will show great talent and dedication to it, earning my respect and praise, while most of you will be as useful as ectoplasmic lab rats in this class. It's in your best interest to avoid being one of those people." Satisfied with his introduction, he takes a heavy book from his shelf and opens it to a bookmarked page. "Now, let us begin."
Beginner Classes:
CRS 101- Introduction to Dollmaking
The professor studies a little notebook in his hands for a moment before clearing his throat and looking at the class. "Alright, this should be an easy class to crawl through. All you have to do is create a doll. If that's not what you were expecting to be doing here that means you're in the wrong class," He opens a drawer in his desk and takes out a small doll that fits easily in his palm. It looks suspiciously like a certain long-eared potions master.
"Go get some supplies and sew a doll. For those of you who don't like sewing, get over it and learn," He sets the doll on his desk carefully so it faces him. "You'll have to make it resemble someone if you're hoping to do anything with it. That's what they're for after all."

CRS 102- Introduction to Fetishes
There are a few moments of near silence as the professor paws through the objects in or on his desk, pushing books and papers aside in search of something. He looks up after a little while and stops searching.
"For this class you'll be learning about fetishes." His eyes narrow as he studies the expressions of the students. "I'm not talking about the types you read about in your smut novels. The fetishes you'll be studying are objects that are associated with magick. One might be home to a spirit, and another might have magickal potency all on its own," He picks up a small pink pendant on a copper chain, the object he was searching for moments prior. "This one has a magickal power itself. It gives off heat and can start fires if manipulated properly," After he thinks the class has gotten a good look, he sets the pendant back on the desk.
"Your assignment is to go find a fetish and present it to the class. Don't get anything too dangerous, because I'm not going to help you if an angered spirit hacks off your arm or something of the sort."

CRS 103- Hex Signs
After a few moments of sitting hunched over his desk, the teacher gets up from his seat, setting his pen down and gathering up a few papers he was drawing on.
"This will be simple enough. You're going to be researching signs used in hexing to do different things, obviously." He holds up one of the papers, showing off the simple mark he's drawn on it, three small triangles that overlap each other in the center. "This is a freezing symbol. If I were to lay it down," As he speaks, he lays the paper flat on the desk. "And you were to walk over it, you'd find your feet frozen to the floor, though hopefully neither of you are stupid enough to simply walk by and activate a sign you don't understand in the first place."
He lays the remaining papers out on his desk for the students to look at if they so desire. "As I said before, you'll be researching signs that are frequently used in hexing. Find one or two, or even three if you're truly dedicated, and present them to the class. This is simple, so don't mess it up."

CRS 104- Hex Protection
"This is likely going to be a very important class for you seeing as you're spending so much time in each others' presences. Not all of you are friends I imagine, and I don't doubt some of you will want to test what can be learned here on each other." He glances over the three students suspiciously, wondering if there's a trouble maker in this small class.
"There are different ways to protect yourselves from hexes that are meant to do you harm. Some things you can do include rituals, spells, or magick objects," The professor tugs at a leather cord he has around his neck and pulls a pendant out of his coat. It's shaped like rings of blue getting darker towards the outside rings with a black dot in the center. "This charm is typically used as protection from simple hexes as it serves to watch out for them."
"All you have to do is find a way to protect yourself from hexes. Whether you choose to use an object or a ritual does not matter to me. Testing your method to make sure it works is probably a good idea, though I won't be hexing you yet. I don't want any of you to receive injuries and die too early on."
