Ludus Elementum does have an instant messenging system similar to MSN or AIM, apart from the fact that it's only linked to the school so pupils can only talk to people inside the school.

Ludus Elementum has an active newsletter team which publishes about the main events of the school as well as including a gossip column in Ludus Letters.

Extensive grounds cut off the school from the surrounding area. Long fields are available for sports, a courtyard area, a small nature reserve and a lake.

A huge dome split into two zones with barriers, so that four battles can take place at once. Students can practise their elemental skills against each other, but must be kitted out in the necessary armour. Inter-house fixtures also take place.

Often new students are surprised by the popularity of the library. It has two large sections; one for silent study and one for casual study. Books can be borrowed but there are tables and armchairs where students can study at their leisure. Large windows look over the grounds.

The school prides itself on 'moving with the times' and in recent decades has added a small café area for students to meet for drinks. It is off to the side of the dinner hall and serves hot and cold drinks along with small snacks.

Obviously, the bathrooms. Strangely they seem to be the hub of cross-house communication, with girls in here all times of the day and night. Through the door on the left is the large shower and bath area which is busy in the morning and evening.

Less popular than the girls' but still often busy. Baths and showers are off to the right. Large spaces and cabinets for personal belongings line one wall.

Students pour out into the corridor after lessons, and many chance meetings happen here. Lockers containing all the students' books line the walls of most, and bulletin boards with notices for events and clubs.

A large, light room with many tables arranged seemingly randomly. A popular place for students to go during their free time. The magister doesn't mind students doing drawing or painting as long as they work responsibly. Art club is held here, as well as Textiles Club because all the materials are kept in the store cupboard.

A place for students to hang out between lessons, in free periods, or when the weather is bad. There is a quiet section for work, and plenty of comfortable seats and coffee tables. Upstairs are the dorms.
