Elanin quickly started to scribble out the circle the professor was talking about, thinking hard she chose Venus and Neptune, they were the first two planets to pop into her head as she had thought about it, so she wasn't going to question the logic behind it.
She really wasn't paying much attention to anything else, so she missed the newcomer that had slipped in, so focused and intent on the professor's words, that when she finally did notice him, she nearly jumped, because of the many new faces.
She chided herself again, for getting so focused and zoned out that she missed things around her.

Ubel paused for a moment. Once he was sure he had everything laid out in his notes, he worked on drawing one out for the actual spell attempt, selecting Pluto and Neptune and purring as he did so, drawing very carefully. Then he watched and waited for the next instructions.

Mat blinked slightly, staring at Grave's paper. He meant to try it here and now? Well ... that made sense. If he happened to mess it up and something went wrong, there would be someone who could help.
Leaning over a bit to watch, Mat completely missed Thobius coming in, thanks to how quiet he was in doing so.

As Elias started explaining the spell Nadyrr forgot about the new person that he had randomly made contact with and which now made him feel all flustered about it. Everyone seemed to be trying to catch on all that Elias said, instead of listening to the instructions and trying to follow them he watched the other students and learned from what they were doing. Taking a moment to study everyone's drawings he started one of his own. Nadyrr stared down at his chart wondering what to put next, glancing over at Thobias he placed Neptune and the moon on his chart.
His hastily drawn chart done along with the planets he looks back to the head of the classroom. His eyes once again go to the students. Listening but also watching to learn how the spell works.

Well, this seemed not too bad, easy and clear instructions, Belwen thought. She twirled the stylus slighty between her fingers before attempting to draw her circle. Unfortunately, geometric shapes was not her forte. But she did the best she could. After dividing it into the proper amount of sections, she thought for only a moment about which planets to use. She drew Venus, then the Moon, then smiled a little and looked to the Professor for further instructions.
She was rather focused now on the task, and learning the spell, not really caring that perhaps all attention was on her and the other girl. And the whole being late thing had slipped from her mind as well at this point.

As the students around the room placed down their symbols of choice, the circles completed in the room began to shimmer in verying shades of colours which reflected the planets used. Any student that stared into the circle or at Elias would have begun to see knowledge, although the knowledge would be specified to match the planets called upon. The aspects revealed would appear only to the student who wrote the circle and filled the symbols in, and so each student would divine their own bits of information on their Professor.
For those students that selected the planets Pluto and Mars Elias' true fighting spirit would become apparent. In form He is calm and colected even when he fights, attacking and defending seldom, but relying on his agility and fast reflexes to dodge and feint. Once the perfect opportunity to strike reveals itself to his clever brain, Elias strikes swiftly, and without hesitation. His strikes utilize his determination and perfect timing to do critical damage on every single hit.
For theose who selected Mars and the Sun Elias' Strongest Attack would be revealed. His strongest attack is in fact a magical one, a Ritual Magic Spell called Kether, which has the ability to unfold the bounds of time and space. This Spell gives Elas the ability and strength to unmake entire people, events or places, or inplace ones as if they had always been.
For those who chose Neptune and Venus Elias' most cherished love is revealed. The one Empyrean that Elias would do anything to protect, even at the cost of his own life, is Dameron, his eternal rival. Not only would Elias sacrifice himself for Dameron's sake, he'd go so far as to betray the Metatrons and face Eradication if it meant securing Dameron's well-being and safety.
For the combination of Neptune and Pluto the strength of Elias' emotional health was revealed. Not only are his feelings deeply-set and potent, but they are, for the most-part denied and not acted upon. This pattern or overwhelming passion, following a struggle to deny himself and spiralling into a repeating pattern causes Elias's emotional state to be his greatest fault as well as his greatest strength. These are facts unknown to even Elias himself.
For the combo of The Moon and Neptune revealed that Elias guards his subconscious mind very tightly. He is a very private person, and is incredibly defensive against anyone understanding his true inner-workings. He is not even open to Dameron, whom he prizes so intensely. Delvers have an incredibly difficult time breaking into Elias' subconscious to draw out information.
For the combo of Venus and The Moon the emotions that Elias most distances himself from, and wards against are those of anger. As a calm and quiet man, Elias does all in his power to prevent outbursts of anykind, and abhors himself when he falls victim to overreaction, irrational behaviour or excess displays of emotion.
For the planets of Saturn and Pluto the physical health of Elias is revealed. Physically he is very perfectly toned, the epitome of what an Academc can be if they train themselves for physical combat. Lithe, whip-quick reflexes, lightning-quick actions and calculated, perfected actions. Elias has done many many forms of training, but primarily resistance training in the pools and in gravity rooms in the Cholera District.
For the planets of Mercury and Venus the connection between mind and heart is shown in Elias. His connection between these two points is seldom used, and rather remote. Elias is not one to confuse the inclinations of his heart with those of his head, and this enables him to look objectively at the world through either or, but with difficulty to combine the two.

((Refused to look at Elias' post before this... Could have sworn I'd posted already... >.>))
Kallisto doodled the circular pattern on her note paper and took a random two planets. She wanted something relatively calm and contemplative, hopefully something that would reveal some useful insight into herself.
She smiled, its a good reason isn't it? She questioned herself, trying to decided what mix would be the most beneficial. At length she chose Mercury and Venus. Doodling in the appropraite symbols and letters, she sat back and waited.
What would it reveal?

Ubel looked startled when the information was revealed to him, eyes widening and a gasp escaping him, before he leaned even closer to see as much as he could, eyes widening slightly. This was just amazing... this was something he would have to practice more and more.

Aysel's eyes widened almost comically at her newfound knowledge of her teacher. Wow. Wow. Could she do this for anybody..? Glancing at Ubel and Antigone, she smiled. She didn't need a spell to see her friends' hearts, and she wouldn't betray their trust by invading their privacy. Then, he gaze turned to Grave. Hmm. She often wondered what the other thought, and truly felt...perhaps she could see, with this spell. "Professor..." she asked softly, "Is there a way to adjust the spell so that it focuses at our will? On ourselves, or specific others..?"

Antigone's breath hitched in her throat, her golden eyes going wide as he took in the knowledge of her teacher... Dear spirits, to have that kind of power... She couldn't imagine it. Didn't particularly want it. But it was fascinating, alluring, to see. Oh yes, very alluring... Power was seductive, and being who she was, she lusted for that... And knew that she had no place having that sort of power.

Nadyrr choked slightly when the spell started to work. His eyes got a little more wide, it had worked! He was more surprised that it had worked then he was over what it said. He had been thinking of the lavendar haired boy next to him instead of the teacher when he chose which planets to use. The potential power that this spell could give over an oponent left him a bit thoughtful. After walking through how to do the spell once he was fairly certain he could attempt it again and be successful. Nadyrr glanced over at the others in the room watching their expressions, he wondered what information they had gleamed from it.

Elanin blinked and stared intently into the circle. "Oh man..." She said, slowly pulling her eyes away from the circle to look at her teacher. That was something heavy! She bit her lip and felt herself blushing. She wondered why he'd let them cast this spell on him if it opened up SO much information on him. However, she calmed herself and chuckled a little. "Of course he would, he trusts us." She felt honored by that acutally, a teacher trusting them with this kind of spell and information.

Drokk scrunched up his face and frowned. He didn't like this professor, not as much as the last one. Drokk wanted to go outside and train to get stronger, why would circles help in battle? It all seemed just silly to him.
So Drokk tried his best to work out what he was suppose to do, and even peeked over at his neighbours book to copy it. So you draw a circle with these weird symbols in it hmm? Drokk spent a long time making a big round circle and scribbled in what he thought was a symbol. Looking around the room he saw many lights, but his wan't doing anything.
" Umm... go circle go"
" Shiney circle shine"
" Ah... open circleme?"
Drokk frowned and poked his book, wondering why his wouldnt work. He dropped his quill and tore the paper up and scrunched it in his hands. It was just silly stuff anyway.

Ubel heard someone speaking to the circle and blinked slowly, before laughing a bit and looking at Drokk, wiggling his fingers just a bit. "Would you like some help?" he offered, arching an eyebrow. "I've got mine working, so I can show you how to do it.."

All the glowing around the room caught Belwen's attention for a moment and she looked up before even looking in her own circle to see if it worked. She wondered now why she'd been brought to the center to demonstrate if everyone else was already doing the spell. The sudden thought that she'd be made an example of hit her.
Wait, she had to check her own circle now, so her eyes averted downward and she caught a glance of Professor Elias in the circle. Wow! She didn't quite understand what she was seeing. So Elias would be a hard one to push to anger? At least she knew he wouldn't yell at her for being late, which she supposed was a good thing for now. But still...
I wonder if I should try again with different planets? But then she heard the question asked about if this could be done on anyway and she grew intrigued, waiting to hear the answer before attempting another circle.
