Asena offered polite nods to the others who stepped into the classroom, though she was relieved that no one tried to make small talk as she set her things out onto her desk. It wouldn't be long before class began and she wanted to start it off right.

Fortunately, she did not have to wait much longer. Asena was pleased that Professor Edgecombe didn't spend time on lengthy anecdotes before getting into the crux of the lesson. Being straight to the point was a lost art these days. And while she didn't raise her hand right away, she considered the question carefully before offering an answer of her own.

"If you plan to cast either spell underwater, you have to account for buoyancy." She hadn't ever seen a need to use it in the water herself, but perhaps it would make sense given the right circumstance. "In air, you're fighting against gravity, but underwater, buoyancy might assist an Ascension Charm, but may make the Lowering Charm more difficult." Then there was obviously the issue with using it on people underwater, buoyancy that changes with depth. That brought on a whole other slew of limitations, though she didn't care for a mid-lesson tangent and thus, kept the secondary thought to herself. Harvey had kept his answer short, she'd do the same (albeit, better).
