Quandrix is the College of Numeromancy at Strixhaven University on the plane of Arcavios. It is aligned and uses Fractals as mascots. The founder of the college is the elder dragon Tanazir Quandrix.[1]
Description
Quandrix mages are ingenious math magicians. They study patterns, fractals, and symmetries underneath reality to command power over the fundamental forces of nature.[1] They'll solve intricate puzzles while contemplating the metaphysical properties of the universe. They can also recite every number of Pi backwards.[2] Their color combination ponders whether the sciences are a feat of ingenuity (the blue perception) or merely a lens to observe nature's majesty (the green perception).
Quandrix is filled with highly intellectual nature-mathematicians. The students of Quandrix wield their power from the fundamental mathematics of nature, studying fractals, patterns, and symmetries. Quandrix mage-students can summon creatures that are made up of fractals. They are also able to expand their knowledge and even their physical size through the manipulation and bending of numbers. Their college motto is 'Math is Magic'.[3] Their magic is formulaic, blending math into their spellcasting.
Campus locations
The Quandrix campus is nestled in a coastal region northeast of the central campus, surrounded by vibrant woodlands, winding rivers, and sparkling streams. This serene, nature-rich environment reflects the harmony of mathematical precision and natural growth that defines Quandrix's philosophy.[4]
- The Arithmodrome - an inner realm inside a water sculpture, which externally presents itself like one of the many such monuments riddling the Quandrix campus. The numerous dynamic sculptures made from water behave in unusual and mathematically precise ways. These include cube-shaped fountains, aqueducts arching through the air without support, and towering columns of water that appear solid. Externally, the Arithmodrome appears as a ten-foot cube of water, but inside lies a seemingly infinite theoretical space where normal physical laws do not apply. This boundless realm allows Quandrix mages to investigate and experiment with abstract numerical concepts and mathematical possibilities.[4]
- The Cultivarium - an eye-popping, sun-drenched garden of spiraling, cyclical plants and fractalized animals. Quandrix professors have repeatedly taught growth spells in this part of campus, and over the centuries, the area has come to intensify any growth magic cast within it.[5][4]
- Torus Hall - the key central building on the Quandrix campus, positioned at the terminus of a sequence of geometrically aligned walkways that culminate in a series of ascending ramps leading up to the hall’s imposing structure. The interior of Torus Hall is uniquely designed around a shifting three-dimensional grid, whose form continuously evolves and rearranges itself over time. Some Quandrix professors warn students against spending extended periods inside the hall, as its mutable geometry might eventually invert or transform around them while they remain within its walls.[4]
Colors dichotomy
Green The green side of Quandrix is focused on bringing numerical possibilities to life, creating physical reality out of mathematical possibilities. Vivifiers, zoetimancers, and figurists conjure fractal creatures based on biological life. Augmentors and scale druids, simply put, enjoy making things bigger.[6] The famed Quandrix mana scholars investigate the nature and possibilities of mana itself and give lectures on leylines, Snarls, spellcasting, and other mana phenomena across the plane. Kianne was the green-aligned Elf dean of Quandrix.
Blue The blue side of Quandrix attracts those who delve into the abstract realms of theory, conjecture, and possibility. Abstractors and proofspinners conjure wild magic that stretches the possibilities of space. Spiralmancers and fractalologists create beautiful patterns and odd optical illusions with uncertain relationships to reality. Echognosts and sequence prophets learn by studying infinite repeating patterns that bend the mind. Metamancers, phenomenologists, and void theorists go beyond numbers to study and tweak the fundamental nature of reality itself, learning or altering essential truths about the world. Sometimes this generates "impossibles," which are strange, surreal beings born of paradoxes.[5] Imbraham is Quandrix's blue-aligned Owlin dean.
Mascots
Quandrix magic can abstract and replicate the patterns of nature into artificial life forms called fractals. Because they are essentially formulaic representations of creatures brought to life, they can be mathematically scaled in size from tiny to enormous, making them effective companions for mages who use them as playthings, pets, helpers, and allies in combat.[5]
