Soowees Magic Academy is located in the Southwestern United States. There are a few choices for transportation to the Academy.
Locals have two options, the first being to teleport directly to a hub beneath the town's clock tower. From there, students and/or families should navigate by foot toward the river. The river may be crossed either across the light traffic bridge or by ferry via the river guide. Absolutely no teleportation or flight is applicable, as warding & protection magic prevent both.
The second option is also available to those traveling from afar. The non-magic light rail lines also operate a secret magic line, the Lavender Line. The Lavender Line arrives during the thirty (30) minute lull between the first and last lines, and is unannounced and marked as "Service Needed." There is a platform at the end of the station marked "under construction" and is secured by illusion Spell Structure & Casting to appear unused and empty. The Lavender Line will pull forward to that platform for boarding.
There are four stops on the Lavender Line: East, West, Central, and Station. Students and family will board at Station and disembark at Central. The Central stop is steps away from the clock tower that houses the Teleportation Hub, and students should proceed from there the same as above. Below features a detailed description of City Hall/Central Commute.
City hall and Central Commute are two destinations in the same location, the latter being the primary method of transportation to SMA.
Central Commute is another feat of magical engineering, created by Soowees's own Prakash mere months before his tenure with the school. It is an open-air station of sorts, housing dozens of designated teleportation gates lining the external columns, and the elusive Lavender Line from Salt Lake's train station.
Between the sturdy stone-and-metal-core columns, there are enormous pivoting glass doors that remain open to the wind's whims during summer, and closed to the cold's demands during winter. The pivoting of the doors is a newer feature that immediately became integral to travel to our fair locale. The doors pivot on the whims of the air currents, much like a weather vane, to create a corridor for air to pass through during warm months.
City Hall sits firmly atop Central Commute, and is a very typical-looking city hall building, minus stairs. It also has been made readily accessible via lifts from the ground, and wide ramps and more lifts between all floors. There are architectural nods and touches of local art throughout, paying homage again to local indigenous Nations.
The mayor can be found on the first floor of City Hall on any given day, unless she is stated to be at a groundbreaking, community action, or open forum (of which she engages in frequently, to the benefit of the town).
