 Cheesy Mac
After listening to the class opinion, Professor Shackleton decided, "How about this? We'll start with nicknames and then we'll touch on choosing a name for a pet before we close the lesson. Sound good?" Macadrian twisted her torso in order to reach for the documents on her desk pertaining to nicknames.
"Now, while our nicknames bring a certain personal response, it is important to remember that these names aren't to be considered part of the original Core Numbers. It is an add-on, an added energy you have brought into your sphere of energy. You calculate this number just as you have the other numbers we've calculated this lesson - simply assign each letter in your nickname with the appropriate number, then add them up and reduce, unless a Master Number is present.
"I'd like for you all to calculate a Nickname Number, either for yourself or for another individual whom you have given a nickname to. Then, look up what that number means in the Basic Arithmancy textbook. I'd like for you to compare this value to your Growth Number that we calculated last lesson and see what your nickname adds to you. Anyone who is willing to share their number is more than welcome to do so. And perhaps, I'll share my nickname at the end..." Professor Shackleton smiled slyly as she let the students get to work.
