The South Dome was a massive structure reserved for high-level experimental spellcraft.
Its interior, shaped like a half-globe, was laced with reflective mana filaments and a reactive floor capable of simulating any terrain or environment.
The structure itself was one of the Academy's marvels a massive, half-spherical chamber made of spell-woven glass, mithril veins, and layered with ancient mana runes that pulsed with quiet, mystical rhythms.
Its walls shimmered faintly with reactive enchantments, designed to adjust to spell usage, terrain illusions, and environmental simulations.
