This started as an attempt for me to simply research the sport so I could better write my own stories with it involved and turned into something so much bigger than I expected it to. So, for all my fellow writers out there, please accept my notes and observations on the ever-loved sport of Twisted Wonderland: Magical Shift! (or Spelldrive, whichever you prefer)
Since the sport was compared a lot to soccer/futball by Yuu, I took a few inspired liberties via the rules and regulations to further flesh the game out further.
HUGE thanks to @yuurei20��� for helping provide additional information from the novels to help me compile these notes! If at some point additional information is revealed with regards to the game in the manga, I’ll go back and update this post further!

Hi omg welcome back! Thank you so much for the detail on your description about the classes! When and if you have time, I would love to hear more! Have you had classes with Crewel yet? And are there any other teachers aside from the ones we know from the game? Thats something Ive always wanted to know! Also, have you gone to Sam's shop yet? How is he? He is my favourite staff member!
Oh and how long did you stay? Did you experience any events ingame and maybe some that werent in the game? Have you gone to anyones homecountry like the events?
PS: If there are too many questions, feel free to chose some to skip! I dont want to overwhelm you :) <3
It's not too much to answer the questions! There's only 2 asks now including this one and the other one if for one of my fanfic blogs so I should have enough energy/time now lol
First The rest of my classes for the current semester:
Animal Language Class
No Magic required
Consists of basic body language of different animals that might accompany you on your journey through being a "Proper mage" as Professor Trein would put it lol. This includes cats, dogs, rats, etc (basically any animal you can find in a Disney film.)
As the class goes on you learn how to decipher what they're actually saying verbally and non verbally. Unlike here animals are sentient, they will make fun of you later trust me. Ace and Deuce are frequently the victim of this lmfao
Its pretty difficult for me personally but I'm bad at communicating with humans so I wasn't really expecting any less lmfao Its as difficult as learning any new language in all seriousness so if you find that hard then welcome to the club I made cookies.
Difficulty: 4/5
Potions/Alchemy (Creation/material studies)
Magic materials will be provided by class instructor, minimal magic is needed from the mage
Consists of different creation techniques, what materials have what properties, what the different potions do, etc. There's a potion for anything and everything, most only having temporary effects but some are more permanent (base level and under specific conditions). Honestly this is one of my favorite classes. Its the most fun in my opinion.
It's not at all difficult because we're allowed to have our recipes at all times.
Difficulty: 1/5
Spell casting
Magic required
Now this is where being magicless really sucked (I still got a really good grade). I wasn't able to participate much in the begining and I was stuck memorizing spells I would never be able to use. I shit you not this man (The prof) looked at me and said
"You may not have the proper abilities to cast spells but I'll be sure to turn you into a grimoire of them by the end of this class"
Honestly stayed true to his word ngl. The amount of notes and textbooks and reciting the damn things, practicing proper spell casting formation/posture. I could instruct the other students at this point. I'm having flashbacks just thinking about it lmfao
The class consists of the actual spells, the motions needed to enact each spell, the proper posture to take when casting. We learn what each spell does, and the proper situations to use them in, etc. It is mostly just actually casting spells though and a I've only relatively recently learned how to use magic. I'm getting there with the help of Azul and my professors tho.
I wouldn't say its the worst difficulty wise but my memory is decent when it comes to academics.
dificulty: 3/5
Astrology
This class consists of studying the stars, constellations, planets, and the moon cycles and how they affect the magic we produce.
"Just as the ocean is affected by the moon and the stars, so too is our energy and magic."
Corny shit but accurate and factual lmfao. It's a really easy class and that's really all there is to it. It's mostly so you understand why your magic is stronger/weaker on different days. this also used as a reference in other classes. Like "X spell is more affective during Y Moon cycle"
Difficulty: 1/5
There's definitely more classes that I don't know of yet but we'll get to them eventually!
''Have you had classes with Crewel yet?"
Yes! I'm actually his favorite student weirdly enough lol. He's chill as long as you act right (paying attention to the lesson, doing your classwork/homework, etc). This man fr defended me from these bitch ass guys who were like
"She doesn't even have magic why does she have the top scores????"
To which he responded "Maybe if you were as diligent of a student perhaps you could also be part of the top scores, until then however, return to your seat"
Never felt safer with a teacher I swear.
"Are there any other teachers aside from the ones we know from the game?"
Yeah. I can't remember their names right this moment cuz I haven't been back there in a minute. My mental health has been ass and I fell out of love with shifting for a long while but I'm back now! I'm hopefully going back soon. I miss my boys and my classes. Mostly my boys tho. I'll have to share who they are and what their names are after I go next.
"Have you gone to Sam's shop yet? How is he?"
I have! Actually when I got my monthly allowance from Crowley (I manifested that in with the intention method cuz I'll be dammed if that cheap bitch fucks me over) it was the first place I visited. He sells damn near everything you need to live on campus. I got soap, an African net sponge (its called Savanna net sponge cuz ✨Afterglow/Sunset Savanna✨) and some lotion. I barely had enough for my groceries after that month. I was living on Ramen and the school allotted lunch (。﹏。*) This being said be prepared for Sam to over price everything. This is a rich people school and I mean eat the rich and all but PLEASE HAVE MERCY
As for how he is as a person, he's really chill. Very nice but he is still a salesman so keep that in mind with your interactions. He may have mercy if he's feeling generous (pity) lmfao. Jokes aside hes actually pretty nice outside of his business. He allowed me to talk to him about struggling with living with Vil for that month with his unseasoned dry ass chicken 😭
"How long did you stay? Did you experience any events in game and maybe some that weren't in the game?"
Currently I'm dealing with STYX and Idia's overblot. Up until that point its been about 6-7 months over there. Everything in the main game happens so fast and in such quick succession. I've experienced the Halloween events, birthdays, and the New Year events. I didn't participate in Sams event cuz I was dealing with living with Vil training for the SDC/VDC and calming down from everything with Jamil. TBH there might have been events that weren't showcased but I was just too busy with the main events and classe/hanging out with other students.
"Have you gone to anyone's home country like the events?"
Not yet but we are staying at Rooks many homes while on our way to STYX to rescue everyone rn. Hopefully soon tho because Idk it seems like a lot of fun to learn more about my friends and their homes.
