You’ll gain experience and levels as you complete lessons. The game features the same “energy” system where you use energy points every time you take a lesson.

Lessons

As you play School of Wizardry you’ll complete lessons. These lessons will help you to level up and advance in your game. There’s nothing new here it’s the same standard fare from other Facebook games. You’ll need equipment for some lessons such as a wand, hat, and robe which can be bought in the game store from the cash you make doing missions. Lessons require energy which will replenish over time, if you level during a mission your energy will automatically refill for you. Lessons are all done in a text format so there’s nothing exciting about them. As you finish levels you’ll get more lessons to do and unlock other areas of the game.
