In the other half of the stone lodge, this classroom provides a stunning view of the valley down below. A wide window looks out over the valley, warming the cold room in the daylight. At the center of the floor lies a permanent ritual circle inlaid with brass and silver, used for demonstrations and practice; its inscriptions can be altered with chalk or rune-stones to suit the lesson. Desks are arranged in rings around the circle, giving every student a clear view of the work. Despite no doors connecting the classroom from the locker rooms, classes are sometimes interrupted by lost first years or the loud laughter from elsewhere within the building. Those taking the class have long asked for the classroom to be moved elsewhere, but the volatile nature of runic work determines that the class stays where it is.
