A network of tunnels runs through the Academy. Although it serves the purpose of maintaining the facilities, it also serves well for spying and sabotage. Power generators, life support, and artificial gravity sources can all be found here. There are also magic foci which are apparently used to produce the space-bending effect that keeps the Academy mostly intact despite all the fighting.

Supply rooms throughout the restricted areas contain materials that are deemed too dangerous for the students to handle. Some, like the nuclear fuel and magically-enhanced item storage, serve a clear purpose for the Academy. Others, like the cold room where samples of biohazards are stored, defy explanation. Students can find plenty of useful things here.

There are a few airlocks hidden throughout the Academy. When going through one, it becomes clear that the Academy is in fact an enormous space station. There's no air, gravity, or light outside. Everything in this universe has decayed into fundamental particles. It's completely dark, because even the stars have burnt out.
