Kourtney hesitantly looked at the professor and then at her wand...then to her quill. And she thought Arithmancy was difficulty...

She opened the book to the indicated section and began to read about each rune, soon picking out one that seemed suitable. Nauthiz, the rune of success and achievement.

Placing her quill down, she raised her wand in one hand, rune in the other. Pointing the wand at the quill, she chanted.

'naudhiz naudhiz naudhiz
n n n n n n n n n
nu na nu ne no
nudh nadh hudh nedh niodh
(nut nat nit net not)
un an in en on
n n n n n n n n n"

She had to move slowly, for some of the words tripped her up, and so it wasn't really much of a chant than it was a slow, drawn out reading.

Nothing.

She tried again, repeating the chant a little faster, still pointing her wand at the quill.

Finally, a light flashed from the end of her wand and hit the quill. Fantastic....now what would this cause the quill to do? She picked up the writing utensil and looked at it closely, trying to discern any difference made from the spell.
