Practical Exercise
Practical Exercise by George Phillies
In which Adara Triskittenion goes to a wizard college. It works as a stand-alone though it says it is book one of a series.
In a world where there's an apparently interstellar society of immortal wizards (except that they seem to regard ice ages as an indicator for all places, regardless of how many moons they have), Adara wants to study general magic and solve an age-old paradox. She comes to the great Dorrance Academy, from Outremer into the Commonality.
It involves a test of magical fighting that goes wrong, students who think memorizing lectures or homework will get them through, the treaty between Outremer and the Commonality from the last war, paper and ink, eating at restaurants, an expelled student, family conflicts, lawsuits, why her house is called "Three Kittens," and more.
