And now they were getting into the lesson.

The Ravenclaw flipped open his book, ready to take notes on the two interesting charms they were about to work on today. As he wrote the details, the question was thought of silently. Only until he was ready with an answer did his hand go up. It was true, those spells seemed as if they would require a lot of consideration and intent, given that things could go wrong fast if used or cast incorrectly. “Weight, perhaps? If the target is heavy you might want to use less intent or force. If the target is on the lighter side you might have to use more.”

Edmund nodded. "Yes, indeed, the weight of the object will have a large influence on how strong and careful your control of the object is."

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).

"Excellent point." Edmund gave a nod. "Certain environments will affect the resistance on the target you wish to move and thus require the caster to adjust their intent and control."

"Well... it helps to know where you want to raise and lower the object at. So the positioning is important. Especially if it's a fragile item like a vase, you don't want to just drop it from up high without control."

Edmund nodded. "Correct. The location you wish to move your target to is very important to know beforehand."

The lesson started, but Iris as a 4th year didn't rush to answer the question. She gave it some thought, and let some other students talk first before she raised her hand to awnser thoughtfully. "The weight of the object you intend to move is very important. A lighter object like a feather doesn't require as much force or concentration to move as a heavy one like a big wooden table. Also another important aspect to consider is where you intend to put the object your moving. If you put a heavy object like a case of books on a more fragile object or surface then it might cause damage." Iris didn't say anything about moving things underwater but, it mattered if the object could float did it not?

"Yes," Edmund said with a nod, "the location and strength of the object you are placing your target on is very important to be aware of."

As each answer was given, an equivalent question was added to the board. When it seemed there were no more hands being raised, Edmund continued.

"Well thought out answers, all of you." They all seemed well-prepared for the lesson so far, which was always a good sign. "Weight, environment, location, speed control - every possible aspect of your target that you can think of is important to bear in mind when trying to cast either of these charms. Failing to do so can result in damage, whether it's the shattering of an object or causing an injury to yourself."

Aspects to Consider

What is the weight or mass of the target?
What environment are you moving it to or from?
If applicable, is it buoyant?
Where are you moving it to?
Is the new location strong enough to hold the target?
What is the height of the new location?
How quickly are you moving the target?

"But," he continued, "consider a situation where you have two of the exact same object. One you want to put on a shelf, and the other you want to take down off another similar shelf. All things being equal, in your opinion, which do you think requires more skill: raising something exactly where you want it to go or bringing it down? Why?"
