"Doesn't paralysis mean one has no feeling? So why would we be in pain if paralyzed and unable to concentrate? Would a broken arm break ones concentration that badly?" Legit question was legit, no? Besides. Kalla had broken things before and found that it did not impede her ability to perform magic...
Who him? West glanced at the Ravenclaw who he didn't know. And that was weird, because West
knew people, y'know?
"If you can use your wand arm with a neck injury, then presumably you're not actually completely paralysed, so it stands to reason that you'd be able to use the other arm if it wasn't broken, and that you'd feel both arms." Like, the scenario was flawed, not his answer see? Not to mention if you were that banged up it was unlikely that you'd have escaped completely without other injuries; there'd be pain somewhere. West shrugged.
"And it would depend on how long you'd been laying there as well. And where you were. Anyways it makes sense to use the easiest effective spell in your arsenal, especially if you have to cast something else real quick."
But... it was a simple question if you put aside Ravenclaw urges to question everything. West wasn't much interested in debating the finer points, not until the professor said more things.
