The 8 magic schools in Arcane101
Arcane101's official Roblox listing counts "8 schools of magic" among the game's headline features, alongside 150+ spells, and presents the choice as your first real decision: "Choose your school. Build your deck." The eight names above come from the developer's fuller game description, which named all eight schools in the versions current through early November 2026. The shorter listing shown on Roblox right now says only "8 schools of magic" without naming them, so the list above reflects the developer's own longer description of the game rather than the trimmed blurb.

What your school choice means
Your school is tied directly to how you build your deck. The developer frames school and deck as one linked identity — "Your school. Your deck. Your destiny." — so you commit to a school first and then assemble the spell deck you actually play with. There's scale behind the choice, too: the 8 schools sit alongside 150+ spells in total.
