How to make an AI witch or magic academy drama

Quick answer: A magic academy drama is a new student, a school with secrets and a rival in the wrong house. SceneMixer has it built in: Magic Academy (Gothic stone halls, spiral stairs, tall bookshelves, floating candles, stained glass) and Academy Robes (robes over shirt and tie, house badges and clear house colours). For a witch in the woods or a modern coven, use Elven Forest, Gothic Dark or a modern city instead. Spells read best as light and effect described plainly in the shot.

Brief for AI Create: A magic academy drama: a scholarship student with no magical family is sorted into the house that expelled her mother; the library's forbidden section opens only for her; 12 episodes, each ends with a spell going wrong in front of the wrong person.

Houses, spells and books

  • Houses by colour. Academy Robes shows house colours clearly; write each student's house into the script.
  • Spells are cause and effect. “A thin line of blue light runs from her fingertips to the candle, which lights” works; “powerful magic” does not. Describe the cause.
  • The forbidden book, the wand, the familiar are props or characters with their own picture. A cat familiar is a character. Non-human characters.
  • Original world. Famous magic school names, houses and scarves trigger the IP check. IP check.

The gate[Shot 2] 3s: Close-up. The iron gate's lock glows faint blue as she touches it, then swings open.
The rival[Shot 3] 3s: Medium shot. @Felix steps out of the shadows in green-trimmed robes.
The line[Shot 4] 4s: Close-up on @Felix. @Felix (stunned): That gate hasn't opened in thirty years. (voice: Felix)
