How do I get this to turn into a dark arts room?

It won't tell me why and I can't spot whatever it wants.

Lair of Dark Arts cannot have braziers. Remove the Solemn ones and it'll turn into it

Is there a way to light it without those things or am I just stuck growing unhappy mushrooms?

It doesn't forbid windows. Personally i go with the stained ones as I feel they look quite good in it

I recommend putting a mana lamp in each classroom, so students don't have to travel to recharge during their lessons.
And they're also light sources ;)

You can put torches and regular braziers, just not the ritual ones. Candelabras are fine too.

Oh I'm sorry that's my bad.
I just assumed and you know what that makes...
I have made all but the dark classrooms so I didn't realize it was different. But it does make a lot of sense a lair of the dark arts can't be lit.
(And also I didn't stop to think that on relentless the requirements vary)

Yeah, I guess the idea is they can only be lit by Moon Light but since we don't have such lightning options yet besides the Mana Lantern and nothing for Sun they allow windows too which depending on time are Sun/Moon. But any Fire negates the room.

Classrooms by the way are the same regardless of difficulty. A lot of rooms have fixed keywords even with the Shuffle option enabled. Learned that the hard way after rerolling a school like 20 times to try and get a Great Hall that's not Grounded so I could build a grand room with balconies in it for it. Turns out that's also one of the fixed keywords :P

[Ivydoom]

Ahw man why did you have to go and spoil it for me :P

I'm kidding.

Funny thing about the great hall, I tried to plan for it. And then while expanding forgot about it and had to improvise a little tiny bit to make it all work (as it needs lofted)
I moved the entrance to my infirmary (soon to be hospital ward) to the floor above (it's 2 floors high with stairs on the back inside) and then was able to combine the little rooms into one lofted room. More luxury will easily come once painting is unlocked.

Oh hey, while grounded, it needs lofted so you could creatively add the balconies you want higer up. They won't be used because everyone will just gather on the ritual sigil but lofted plays right into the height you want for balconies.

Sadly that's not possible. If there's any flooring on the room that's not Foundation the Grounded tag goes away :(

[Ivydoom]

Oh that's too bad!

[CoLS Firestar]

Did all that building and realized I needed one more Grounded building. Ugggggh.

Mana stands give moonlight. You can use them for lighting aswell as windows.

Moonlight only lights up at night but mana lanters dont count as a light source, only to grow up specific harvestd (like sporeshrooms). You need another light source besides it, always for the purpose of lighting up a room.

Mana lanterns do count as a light source for the purpose of preventing void shrooms. They probably need to be charged though.
