You decide it would be best to leave this room and try to find a way out of this place.

The steps spiral down past several locked wooden doors and onto a corridor with doors to either side and another set of steps leading further down into this ... Academy. The corridor appears to be deserted. You can still hear some shouting from below this floor and the occasional bang of what sounds like a magical explosion. As you cross the corridor, you hear some muffled grunting coming from behind the door to your left.
