bevanthomas,

In a Scottish legend, Satan taught a group of young men sorcery on condition that he could devour the last student to leave. However, the last student tricked Satan into grabbing his shadow instead. Afterwards, that particular sorcerer didn't have a shadow.

@bevanthomas That's like the Scholomance! Wikipedia says Bram Stoker learned of it from an article written by a Scots expat, Emily Gerard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholomance

bevanthomas,

@Steerpike Yeah, various cultures had the idea of a Satan-run school for magic. Domdaniel is another example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domdaniel
