"As for information, some argue we should consider an addendum to the Exceptions, but it is not part of them, no. While true that you cannot make yourself know all there is to know, part of that is because you can't conjure what you cannot think up. And if you don't know something, you can't think it up. It's a different restriction than the others, as you are limited by yourself." Preston smiled, hoping that had made sense.

Gold nodded. That called in religion, and that was a personal matter. There, people branched off, often differed. It was one of those points you can never fully explain, to the satisfaction of all.

Hence, also a point best kept aside, for now.

"Right, professor." Professor Kingsley had a way of simplifying everything, and Gold was starting to find that wonderful, because it helped her understand. He wasn't using fancy words, for the sake of them. Relieeeff. She imagined a student trying to conjure the answer to a question they did not understand in an examination, and smiled lightly, to herself.

"Examine your object. What descriptive words would you use for it? What is its shape? It's feel? Any defining markings or characteristics?"

Preston tapped the side of the board with his wand, a list of possible properties emerged.

"On your parchment, take note of these and any others you think are relevant for your item. Be as descriptive as possible. It will help, later."

Oh, she could do that. Gold dipped her quill in the PINK! ink that she always used to write any and everything under the sun, even in examinations when she was provided with an anti-cheating quill and, taking note of the miniature, toy lion she had brought along, specified it in words.

Quote:

Size :: 9 x 11 cm
Shape :: ~~Lion-shaped.~~ Lion-like?
Texture :: Soft, flexible, plastic.

There. That sounded alright.
