was reading through VRGtR and in the create a darklord section I saw this box talking about using the Tarokka cards from CoS and it kinda got me curious. And I got my card deck and drew two cards: The Druid " The ambivalence and cruelty of nature and those who feel drawn to it; inner turmoil" & The Mists "Something unexpected or mysterious that can't be avoided; a great quest or journey that will try one's spirit".
I figured to me it wasn't enough inspiration so I rolled a D10 for a random genre of horror and then rolled up a random monster from Kobolds Press: tomb of foes getting Disaster horror, and Sluatth swarm respectively? Now my gears are turning.
What if the darklord was just a single fairy mysteriously turned vampiric. I drew another card for the and I got: The Begger: (Sudden change in economic status or fortune) and originally my mind went to what if he was a feylord but after his transformation he was exiled out of his court.
I than drew a final card for his irredeemable act being: The Raven (A hidden source of information; a fortunate turn of events; a secret potential for good) now it's all coming together, what if instead of an economic fortune what if it was a different kind of wealth he lost, what if a famine plaged his kingdom and the only way he can regain enough power to feed his kingdom is to go on a blood frenzy, consuming his own citizens to feed them afterwards.
Next thing I know I'm making a domain guide for my players. But I'm left curious has anyone else used this method for creating their own domains or a method like this? Would you be willing to try this?

I'm thinking about possibly running a magical school themed campaign and I don't really have a general plan for what to do for it. (Not to mention the strixhaven book is no help in this matter)
So far I know for sure to have it be a milestone based campaign with four levels per year (once per semester and after summer break projects)
As for a story plotline each year would go with semester 1: introduction to the years classes, semester 2: preparation for school dance, Semester 3: yearly finals plus sporting tournament, semester 4: summer break vacation to a different plane of existence with a research project (example: create your own monster codex) and then repeat for the next year changing things in-between depending on character interactions.
Does this seem like a good baseline? What things should I change and how do I help my players engage with plot hooks rather than being an idle NPC who just attends their classes and spends their free time just doing homework

So I've been designing a new homebrew class called the "Prophet" I've got everything sort of situated and ready for play testing except for the most important thing, the spells (for a full caster class) and I seem to really be struggling with this part, how many spell options per level, most attack spells don't fit thematically for a class that gets their power through a prophecy but we all know they won't last far into high levels with just prophecy spells lol.
So what is everyone else's methods when making a new casting class and any recommendations for specifically the prophet
