The Room


The doors in the entry room are marked with numbers, from one to three. You step through the third door. The middle of this room is dominated by a large copper sphere, floating in midair. A small platform is directly beneath it.

Around the room there are few chairs and desks, in fact, most of the space here is free to leave room for practice. Human-sized dummies are in the room, with imitations of wands in their hands. They can be engaged in combat to test the students. When the spell “Incurso” is cast on them, they will move, dodge and protect themselves while trying to disable the caster with a paralyzing spell attack. If they disable the caster or the command spell “Claudeo” is cast on them, they will stop.

Inside the sphere lies the gauntlet. A training exercise where students are required to face animated dummies, simulating monsters and enemy wizards, and a variety of other obstacles. To enter, they must stand in the platform beneath the sphere and speak the command word “Orsus”. They will then be transported inside, and all of the action will be visible on the sphere. Should any students became hurt or incapacitated they will be transported back out straight away. If they reach the middle they will also be transported back. If they give up or the teacher decides the exercise is over, any one of them needs only cast the spell “Trado”.

Second Lesson



Already late for class, Professor Avery-York came into the room with some urgency and busyness, carrying several boxes in his arms which all but blocked his view.
Finally making his way to his desk, he set them down on top of it and turned to the students.

"I am deeply sorry for my tardiness class, but I had some urgent affairs I simply had to deal with before coming here, such as this boxes you see assembled here." He smiled looking at them with approval glinting his eyes as he did so. He then looked back at the pupils.

"But that is a matter for the second part of the class, which you have undoubtedly noticed in your schedules, is going to be twice as long this time around. You'll understand why later on but for now let's go on with the lecture."

He turned back to the board and started writing a few things.

"He have here years sixth and seventh correct? Correct. So that means a potion and a spell." Going on with his thick Irish accent, the Professor proceeded to give a lecture on each of the things he mentioned.

"Well then, now that is done with, I want the sixth Years to brew the immunity potion that I have written on the board.

The seventh years are going to practice the somnus charm against dummies or each other.."

Well then, get to work, we still have much to do. After this part ends, there will be a fifteen minute recess - feel free to go sip some tea and eat some cookies - and then I will show you what's in the boxes at the beginning of the second half." ((OOC: First half ends when the second one begins at October 31st which, in turn, will end November 7th.))

After the lecture, Eric took out his potions material and set to work. There were a lot of ingredints and a whole lot of instructions to follow. It was hard, but soon it was boiling happily away to completion.
When it was done, he scooped it out into a bottle and left it on the professor's desk.

Dropping her things on the floor next to her desk, Beck pulled her wand out and, glancing at the lesson plan, made her way over to a dummy to practice the assigned spell for the day. Tapping the dummy with her wand to animate it but keep it from firing curses and spells at her, Beck stepped back and held her wand steadily out in front of her. Waving it in a slight sweeping motion, she muttered the incantation for the somnus spell and watched, unsatisfied, as the dummy yawned, its eyes drooping sleepily. It did not, however, fall asleep.

'Hmm...I know I said the incantation correctly. I must need to fix the motion.'

Spraying a bit of water in the dummy's face to wake it up, Beck held her wand a loft again, this time focusing on her movement as well as the incantation. With a wave of her wand, this time more of a cutting swish rather than a sweep, Beck pronounced the words of the spell and smiled in satisfaction as the dummy fell gently to sleep, slumping slightly against the nearest chair.

"Hm...interesting spell. Not sure what you'd use it for, though."

Waking the dummy up and freezing before she turned back to her things, Beck checked the lesson once more for the homework and found that the homework question was exactly what she'd just been wondering. Sitting down quietly, Beck rested her chin in her hand as she pondered the question.
