She raised her hand, "Professor Svensson? If I wanted to change skin, would I say Bestair Skin or Bestiar Epidermis?"

"It should not matter which term you use. If epidermis is the term for skin that comes most naturally to you, use that word. If you think of skin as simply skin, then the word skin will be adequate," Professor Svensson said after a moment's thought.

"I-I missunderstood. I'm sorry." she began fighting back tears. How could she do such a thing? She had gotten so excited about learning the spell she misunderstood "practice". In her mind 'practice' meant 'do'. Dem immediatly put her wand on her desk. It probably wasn't a good idea to be holding a wand when the professor is yelling at you for performing a spell when you shouldn't have.

"I'm extremely sorry professor. I can't believe I did such a thing. I missunderstood." Demetria frowned, still holding back tears the best she could. "Is there anything you want me to do to make up for it?" she murmered. '*Sigh* I probably just got myself a weeks detention.' she thought to herself. 'There goes my good-girl record.'

Well, to the girl's credit, she seemed to be legitimately sorry for trying the spell before being instructed to do so. And as no harm had come of it, Professor Svensson decided to punish the girl lightly for now. Then maybe she would not cry.

"Be sure it does not happen again. If you are unsure of what I mean, it's best to ask questions to avoid misunderstandings," Svensson said sternly. "And since you have already attempted the spell, when the rest of the class moves on to transfiguring, you'll simply be observing. I see no reason for you to get another chance since you were successful at your first try."

The minds of the professors worked in ways Diane could not quite phantom.

Raising her hand, she addressed a question to the professor, "Sir, so, would this kind of spell be a partial transfiguration? I am beginning to wonder... if somebody lost a limb to some kind of accidents, with the lizard regenerative nature, we would be able to replace the severed limb tissue with lizard skin using this spell. It would have healing properties.".

"I may be mistaken, but I thought that lizards could only regenerate their tails. Who would want to have a lizard tail to replace a lost arm or leg?" After asking the rhetorical question, Lars blinked at the girl, thoroughly perplexed by the idea she presented.

Returning his attention to the rest of the class, Professor Svensson decided it was time to move on. "The wand movement for the 'Bestiar' partial transfiguration is quite simple--and the reverse spell's wand movement is identical. Watch closely, now," he said, rolling up his sleeves. Holding his wand carefully in his hand, Lars simply pointed at his right foot and gave a dramatic swish of the wand in the foot's direction. Nothing happened, but then, he had not intended for anything to happen.

"See? A simple swish of the wand, aimed at the limb or body part you intend to transfigure. It's so simple that I doubt you need to practice it separately from the spell. Now, pay close attention. To successfully execute this spell, you must pronounce the incantation correctly, be quite dramatic as you do the wand movement, and keep the desired transfiguration in the front of your mind." Lars glanced around at the pairs of students. "You're all paired up? Good. I want the older student in each pair to practice the spell. Younger students, keep your wands out and be prepared to perform the reverse spell, which is 'homini' followed by whichever body part is transfigured. If you need any help at all, tell me immediately."

A swift glance around the room, then Lars nodded and strolled among the students. "Proceed!"
