So it is a matter of chosing which you'd like to switch out. Keep in mind you are still most welcome to work on other spells in your own time."
"I'll switch out the Disillusionment with Defodio than." she said, crossing out the word, and adding 'Defodio' next to it instead. She could do without learning that spell anyways. Psssh. Or she could just learn it later on. No big deal.

With a nod at Arya, Truebridge continued, "This spell is a temporary self armouring spell, one which conjures an invisible armour, which the easiest way to think of it is as invisible plate armour worn close to your skin. It is not permanent, but will withstand many blows, and is particularly useful against cutting, exploding, puncturing or severing spells. You will know, even though you cannot see it once cast, that it is in place because your skin will feel slightly heavy and much like you are wearing an extra layer of clothing." Truebridge drew his wand as he spoke.
"It is harder to cast it over your entire body and it is not entirely necessary to do so; I will be pleased if you each manage to protect one arm today. Before I go over the incantation and wand movement, does anyone have any questions about the spell or observations about how it might be useful?"
A self armoring spell? Able to block anything... well that was useful!
"So it's like a few of the shield spells into one? The Impiriano and Protego ones i mean..." she said curiously, writing down what the shield spell was in her notebook before looking back up. Well, of course it was! Almost. If it was able to block spells and physical things, than it would be like a combination of the impiriano and protego spells right? Kinda like the Hestidius spell being a combination of a stinging hex and flipendo...
"Are you able to cast it on other people?"
