Greetings Lthayer! I shall endeavor to answer your questions.
1) Alas, you missed the deadline by but a hair. The registry closed when I made the first post. We plan on picking it back up (starting a new term?) in the fall, so you can bring a new character to us then! We're play-testing it right now, so hopefully when you decide to join us anew we'll have some of the bugs worked out.
2) While the school is nestled in a dimensional tear, all our current players hail from modern-day earth. For simplicity's sake, I would ask you to keep it to that general time frame.
3) Spells work by manipulating some form of force; energy, matter, supernatural, and psychic. You can achieve the same ends through different means, though some will more naturally be easier using different techniques. How are you using your magical shielding? What sort of shield would it be? A shield to ward off, say, a fireball might counter it by sapping the heat away from the fireball, or shooting a mass of water at it. One would be manipulating energy, the other matter.
4) Creativity will get you farther here than rules-lawyering, though there are limits (and of course, consequences) to all things. If you can argue something to work convincingly, you will get more leeway than simply saying "I do this", if push comes to shove. The final call, of course, is mine, and rest assured that I am telling everyone the same answers to the same questions.
5) What students can bring with them; one of those things we will need to work out before next time. Basically, most anything you could reasonably expect to bring to any other university setting won't be a problem, but for the particularly unusual things you will need permission. Extra change of clothes: acceptable. Barrett .50, you had best have a particularly convincing reason to be allowed to take that with you.
Did I answer all of your questions?
Witt: you are correct. Mana is recharged when you rest and get a good meal, the +3/year means your pool expands.
