"Professor,does that mean the Norandola's are like mood rings? is that its purpose?"
"I guess you could illustrate it like that. But keep in mind that mood rings--non-magical ones at least--change with a person's bodytemperature. Ceci, does that example help?" Quote:
"Professor if you can't tell this one is a male how can you tell a male plant from female plant. When you look inside the flower of a non-magical, you see the two organs, called the stamen and pistil. It is the stamen that are the ovaries that turn into fruit if it is a bloom on a apple tree. So how do you tell if this Norandola is male?"
Professor Phoenix smiled mysteriously. "You'll see," was all she said, and she also shook her head at Nadia's assumption. "No, no, no. They have their own gender." Quote:
"Definitely gross* So, I guess there's no counter-spell, right?"
"I guess you could use Impedimenta to a certain extent, to make something slow down. But a real counter-curse: No." Quote:
On the other hand, is there the possibility of the plant only perceiving the emotion you were feeling *only* when planted? Say, I'm depressed right now and I plant it and it gets to be *gray* of something, but then, the next day I'm happy; will the plant change color/shape/etc?... if this was the case the Legillimency-potion idea would fail completely...
"No, it is *at* the moment, Nadia. It reflects your inner being, the more you are around the plant, the more accurately. And, yes, that is why a lot of research is being done on Norandolas: Humans, as always, want to control this power they have." Quote:
"Ummm...Professor? When is the Vitaris spell used? I mean, in what professions and such...do normal wizard gardners use the spell?"
"Yes, it is a pretty common spell for gardening. As you saw, it's quite useful."
