Hexside School of Magic and Demonics is a magic school that appears in the Disney Channel animated series The Owl House. It is the Boiling Isles' most prestigious high school for witches, demons, and magic folk.
Background[]
Hexside was built on the ruins of its rival school, which it conquered. When new students are enrolled, they have to know at least two spells in order to attend standard classes, otherwise they will be put in the baby class. This decision is carried out when new students take a placement exam and prove they have mastered two spells.
Like the rest of the Isles, school life at Hexside can be dangerous and life threatening. Students in the Plant track, for example, care for wild plants that are dangerous and can eat them. Same goes for students in Beast Keeping. When students misbehave, they are sent to "detention", which is a giant pit with worm creatures that entrap students in brainwashing bubbles to make them good.
The standard school uniform is a gray tunic with a dark gray belt, hoodie and boots. The color of the sleeves and leggings depends on which track a student belongs to.
Covens[]
Students at Hexside are separated into different covens depending on what kind of magic they are learning. Each coven has its own unique color and power glyph associated with it, as shown on banners and school outfits. There are nine main covens as well as many other lesser covens with the exception of the Emperor's Coven which is the highest coven. Joining a coven seals off a witch's ability to perform any magic other than that of their chosen coven.
- Red - Bard. Its power glyph is shaped like a harp.
- Orange - Beast keeping. Its power glyph is a pig hatching from an egg.
- Yellow - Potionists. Its power glyph is a potion bottle.
- Green - Plants. Its power glyph is a plant vase.
- Light Blue - Illusions. Its power glyph is a mirror.
- Blue - Healing. Its power glyph is a wrapped hand.
- Purple - Oracle. Its power glyph is an eye.
- Orchid - Abomination. Its power glyph is a face of an abomination.
- Brown - Construction. Its power glyph is a fist.
- Gray - Detention.
- Silver - Starter. No coven selected.
