Unlike standard school festivities involving food or music, the Starlight Ascension appears to be a ritualistic display of skill and a rite of passage.
Faculty and senior students do not wear standard formal attire. Instead, they don tunics woven from a material that reflects starlight. Most notably, participants manifest physical avatars of wings composed of solidified light and vapor. These are not decorative; they are functional, allowing sustained flight within the Academy’s anti-gravity bubbles.
Intelligence suggests a silent auction takes place, but currency is not exchanged. Instead, students trade "favors" of elemental manipulation or rare vials of "captured breath" from extinct wind species. One item of note, a "Bottled Tornado," was traded for a semester of exemption from final exams.
