Aetheo introduces a world of highly specialized magic users - who insist that they are not witches - who create lifelong magical bonds in groups of thirteen - which they insist are not covens. Enter a main character who grew up in the non-magical world, suddenly discovered to have magic powers and sent to magic university, where they must learn to navigate the complex social relationships that will determine which fellow students they ultimately form a coven with, all while trying to catch up with years of magical education. Unice5656 and Aetheo argue about educational systems.
