They instead are animated in the form of a Golem that would deliver a devastating beating to any students who might be attempting to take them without permission. Its hostilities can be disabled, should the student know the passcode to do so. It changes regularly, however, and only Lady Elara and Headmistress Delacour know the code.<\/p>\n<p>Access to the Forbidden Section of the library is open to any who know the way, but the way is everchanging. Only those who foresee its change may bestow that knowledge onto students and staff who seek it, with the only two being the Headmistress and the Head of Studies. Any who locate the hidden section on their own are welcome to enter it, but will find that it is not the inert hollow that they might have thought. Instead, upon entering, one is given a single chance to recite the password, which changes as often as the rooms location. Should one fail to recite the password, they will find the Forbidden Section comes to life, animated as a hulking golem of tomes, scrolls and shelves that has the authority to clobber them senseless, before dumping them into the middle of the library, much to their embarrassment.<\/p>\n<p>The Forbidden Section does not kill any who dwell within, but it won\u2019t hesitate to use force that borders on deadly, using its own magicks to stabilize those who find themselves in such peril. Whilst encounters with the Forbidden Section are few, those who have met the wrath of the Library Golem lose their appetite for banned books and forbidden knowledge soon after.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The set<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The University of Canos is one of the oldest and most prestigious arcane institutions on the continent of Tharador. It is a vessel for transforming raw, unrefined magic-users into elite mages, either of the court or lab, whilst some paths also exist for those who intend to use magic in creative pursuits. It is currently rebuilding itself, two years after Dragonblight tore it down. Whilst campus life continues in a strange, quiet peace, something sinister stirs within. Students continue to go missing, and the staff are turning to desperate measures to find out why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"tmq-reveal\"><a class=\"tmq-reveal-card\" href=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/campaigns\/the-arcane-university\/\"><span class=\"tmq-reveal-frame\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-a\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/au-release-tmq.png\" alt=\"The Arcane University set\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"tmq-reveal-b\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/miniquasar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/au-set-minis.jpg\" alt=\"The Arcane University miniatures\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure>\n<div class=\"tmq-reveal-head\"><span class=\"kicker\">The campaign<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In The Arcane University the party must enter the University of Canos undercover as students, investigating a series of mysterious disappearances with six students currently missing in the school.

All miniatures sold are unpainted, unless otherwise specified. If you would like us to add free matte black primer to the prints, you can let us know, and they&#8217;ll be ready to paint right out of the box!<\/p>\n<h3>Shipping<\/h3>\n<p>Our models are shipped assembled if they are not too delicate, but are usually separated from the base. Wings and some other parts may also be detached and need to be put together, especially for larger models. To put the pieces together, you could use epoxy putty, super glue, or any strong glue that works for plastics. This is to ensure that none of the delicate pieces break or get damaged during shipping. If you really need pieces glued together, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.<\/p>\n<h3>Free Miniature<\/h3>\n<p>Get a free miniature with your order. No requirements, every order gets one. It will be a random character from our store. If you order multiple minis, you may even get more than one for free! Enjoy.<\/p>\n<h3>Model Scale<\/h3>\n<p>Normal-sized miniatures come in two sizes: 32mm and 75mm, which is the height of the humanoid body, so with the base and other accessories like hats, they will end up being a little taller. 32mm is the standard size if you are playing D&amp;D on a physical battle map.<\/p>\n<p>Larger miniatures are measured by the diameter of their base. Large-sized miniatures usually have a 50mm base, huge-sized ones have a 75mm base, gargantuan ones have a 100-120mm base. For specific measurements on any model, please contact us and we&#8217;ll be happy to give you the exact numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Creation of Miniatures<\/h3>\n<p>These models are made by the fantastic people at DM Stash, and they make incredible models, so please check them out. We are officially licensed to print and sell their models to you, so you can enjoy them too! We print them with an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra resin printer with 16K resolution (the highest quality available). They are printed using Elegoo Standard 3.0 Vanilla coloured resin, an expensive resin that ensures models are strong without compromising on the detail. The supports are cut off, the model is sanded if needed, and inspected to ensure perfection. The model is washed off with pure alcohol, then cured inside an Elegoo ultcuring enclosure, and prepared for printing.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\njQuery(function ($) {\n  var $sum = $(\"div.product .summary\");\n  function tmqMoney(prices) {\n    var raw, minor, n, prefix;\n    if (!prices) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    raw = prices.price;\n    minor = prices.currency_minor_unit;\n    if (typeof minor === \"undefined\") {\n      minor = 2;\n    }\n    n = Number(raw);\n    if (isNaN(n)) {\n      return \"\";\n    }\n    prefix = prices.currency_prefix;\n    if (!prefix) {\n      prefix = \"$\";\n    }\n    return prefix + (n \/ Math.pow(10, minor)).toFixed(2);\n  }\n  function tmqVarName(v) {\n    var i, a, attrs, text, idx;\n    attrs = v.attributes;\n    if (attrs) {\n      if (attrs.length) {\n        for (i = 0;
