Tobias looked up as Botros went by his desk, and took one of those bronze bracelets for himself. While the professor went on explaining what they were doing, the fifth year practiced drawing out the three runes in his notes, though he already knew them well enough. Something to keep preoccupied with before starting, right? And still, his foot tapped.

Intaglio, Toby was quite familiar with the spell, had used it plenty of times before, and was fairly confident in his ability with this today. He still noted the spell and everything down in his notes, though, because he always found the repetition in his notes to be very beneficial.

After watching Botros' demonstration, Toby retrieved his wand from the holster Soph had gotten him for Christmas, and started to get to work. Same runes, same order, right. Toby checked the board again, just to make sure he'd copied down what the artifact looked like exactly, and yep. All in order.

Sowilo first then, as it seemed like the most logical place to start. Toby raised his wand, squinted at the bracelet, and started carving.

"Intaglio Sowilo Sowilo-" one line was complete "-Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo-" aaaaand the second. "-Sowilo Sowilo." And there it was, one Sowilo rune carved into the bronze band. Toby briefly considered leaving a space for Uruz and doing the next Sowilo rune now, but quickly decided it would be smarter to carve them all in the order that they appeared, lest he make a mistake and run out of room later or something.

"Intaglio Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz..." Over and over he repeated the name of the run, until eventually that was neatly carved beside the first one. Without missing a beat, Toby made the most of this focus on the runes and started to carve the next rune as well.

"Intaglio Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo."

The Hufflepuff paused and leant back for a moment, stretching out his arms in front of him and sort of waggling his fingers because all this sitting still was starting to make him more twitchy and fidgety again. If recent years were anything to go by, Toby knew he'd only have a limited amount of time to finish carving these runes before his fidgeting and distractedness started to effect how steady his hand was (and, by extension, how neatly the runes would be carved). So. Back to business.

"Intaglio Jera Jera Jera Jera..." A pause, because this rune was in two unconnected parts, and Toby needed to momentarily stop carving to get the next bit. "Intaglio Jera Jera Jera Jera."

Yep yep yep, all seemed good here. Toby took a breath and moved the bracelet just a tad so he'd get a better aim at it, before beginning to carve rune number five.

"Intaglio Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo Sowilo..."
