Jesifur frowned, her answer sounded silly, simple even. Was it possible the answer was that simple? Just talk to it? Ask it to open, maybe say please? Too easy maybe.

"Talking to it might work..." It was definitely an idea, but talking was magic of its own, wasn't it?

Her hand immediately shot into the air like a rocket ship blasting off. "Since it is HUMAN touch and HUMAN magic that causes the reaction, perhaps if you sought the help of someone...else...someone not human." She paused for a moment to try and contain her glee. "Perhaps a goblin or..." here it comes.... "...a house elf..."

Homework assignment where they had to pair up with a house elf to do the assignment? Yes please!

"It's Human magic, not necessarily human touch, so if you used the help of a house elf or goblin, you'd have to be careful that they didn't physically touch the object." Hadley shuttered at the thought of what might happen.

...At least it'd make Evelyn laugh.

Nevertheless, as bummed as she was, the Slytherin thought of another answer. Or at least tried to. "What about using one of those muggle grabber things?" she asked after raising her hand. "Or some other object." You weren't technically touching it then!

"But you sort of are touching it. Just use a medium to touch it."

"To bypass the spell, you really don't need to use advanced magic. While yes, this topic of Arithmancy is complicated, you don't need advanced magic to solve it." Just some basic wit, which many Ravenclaws seemed to naturally have. "This particular spell, though simple, you will never find a cursed object as simple or straight forward."

Moving on though. "Now the last part, the cline, which is the numbers four and nine is probably the most complex part of the spell number to understand. There are seven classifications of clines, or types of curse, but only two that you'll really need to worry about at this level of your studies." She paused again, flicking her wand at the board:

Quote:

Classifications of Clines

1 - Spells which are by nature identifying spells. Those spells which identify the nature of an object, its individual components, or what an object or magical effect are.
Ex: specificalis revelio, arithmos revelio
9 - Spells which are powerful, immediate, and unstable. Those spells which react instantly and do not have permanent or long-lasting effects.
Ex: impedimentia, blasting charms

"The four, before the nine is indicative of the complexity of the spell, as it is specific to targeting humans." Yes, there were spells that would be specific to target House Elves.

"For homework, you'll need to practice the Arithmos Revelio spell. I have here..." She held out a large container for them. "In this container are small boxes that when you're ready, tap the top of the box once with your wand and it will unfold to reveal a walnut. The only problem is that the walnuts each carry the same curse on it that we saw here in class, which is why I have them in these magical boxes. When you get the spell correct, the number will appear clear and in full, as opposed to seeing incorrect, incomplete or fuzzy numbers."

Walking toward the door with the container, she set it on an empty desk near the door. "So take one of the small boxes with you and good luck. Remember, if you happen to touch the walnut, you'll only stop moving for about 30 seconds at most. So I don't want to hear that you couldn't complete the assignment due to your own fatality." Because unless it was from something else, fatalities were impossible from this curse.

ooc: yes. Lesson is dismissed. This is the BULK of the assignment, but I'll post the assignment in full, with the due date on my notice board sometime within the next 12 hours ~~ihope~~. Thank you <3
