With an impeccable background in both traditional chemistry and ancient alchemical practices, Professor Aurelius Montclaire has created a unique curriculum that merges scientific principles with the mystical arts, offering students a rigorous yet creative exploration of magic from a molecular and elemental perspective.

Montclaire is a firm believer that magic and science are not opposing forces, but rather two sides of the same coin. By applying the principles of chemistry, physics, and biology to magical practices, he has pioneered a new way of thinking about how magical energy interacts with the material world.

Professor Montclaire holds a deep fascination with the elements and their properties. He teaches his students to view magical substances, such as dragon’s blood, moonstone dust, or phoenix feathers, not just as ingredients for potion making, but as chemical compounds with specific reactions and potential uses. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the molecular structure of magical reagents, helping students recognize how magical properties can be enhanced, transformed, or even neutralized through careful manipulation of the substances involved.

In his lab, students perform controlled experiments to observe the physical and magical reactions between various magical substances, unlocking the hidden chemistry behind each.

Professor Montclaire books and research papers are highly regarded in the field of magical chemistry, offering new insights into the molecular makeup of magical substances and the ways in which they interact with both magic and the physical world.

Under Professor Montclaire's tutelage, students leave his course with a deep scientific understanding of the principles behind magic and alchemy. Eccept for you, you have been retaking his classes for months, but you still can't grasp half of the curriculum.
