At the Transylvanian Scholomance for Solomonari, made famous by Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the Hungarian Black School for Garaboncziás run by the Devil, one may learn the language of animals, all imaginable charms and spells, how to forge weather, ride on dragons among the clouds, heal diseases, and command the dead. But enrolment may be a little difficult, according to Romanian folklore.
