Classes of seven, ten, or thirteen students attend the Scholomance for a seven or nine year curriculum (each number varying depending on the particular telling of the myth) and learn how to perform all kinds of esoteric Dark Arts, which make them incredibly powerful. It is generally believed to derive its name from the Biblical Solomon, but as time passed, the school became associated with evil magic, corruption, and even The Devil.Īccording to the legends, the Scholomance is an Academy of Evil and Wizarding School which is either located somewhere inside a mountain or deep underground.


A fabled school for magicians from Romanian mythology, the Scholomance (also known as the School of the Dragon or the Solomonarie) has long captivated the minds of writers, even including Bram Stoker.
