Below you will find an updated list of all classes your character can attend and homework assignments he or she can complete. Remember to not post your character entering class after the lesson has already started. If you would like to attend a class that is already in session, just post as if your character has been in class all along.

☛ Assignment: Use the toy spiders and practice the Arania Exumai spell on them around the school. PM me (all) the links of atleast 5 posts where you show me how the practicing process goes. You may practice with a friend, but you still need to post a minimum of 5 times each (you are being graded individually).
I do not expect your character to be an expert on the spell. Development is great!
Also, in the PM, write a small paragraph on what else you think the spell could be used on, or what else it could be useful for, and explain why you came to that conclusion. Be creative – but do not practice it on other living things or Maya will not be happy.
OOC: A paragraph...not half a page ; )
☛ Points Worth: 10 points – with a chance for 5 extra points.
☛ Notes: You can submit this homework even if you did not attend the class – just RP as if you did.
Send me the links in one PM (sending me a different link in separate PMs will not be accepted). If you submit different versions of homework, only the first will be graded.
Follow the proper guidelines on how to submit homework, here. Failure to do so could result in deduction of points and/or your homework not being graded. At all.
Runes Lesson III is gearing up for a pillow fight.This is part of the Runes Final Exam, and worth fifteen individual house points [with a chance for five extra points for outstanding or creative role play].

Arithmancy Homework Three
As we discussed with the number nine, in one's lifetime, a nine-year cycle occurs repeatedly, which is also called a numerological cycle. Your life is operating on repeated nine-year cycles, each year having a number which has a particular meaning. This meaning is your theme for the year, also called your personal year.
Find your personal year number for the following years in your life:
- When you were born
- When you started Hogwarts
- The current year
- When you will graduate Hogwarts
Please show all calculations necessary to find these numbers and describe what each number means for you and your life.
This assignment is worth 16 points
Due: November 20th, 11:59pm EST Also note that while I'm generally lenient, if you submit late THIS time, you risk not being able to earn points for the assignment.
Please make sure you read the rules for submitting a homework here. I reserve the right to deduct points for inability to follow the rules outlined there. =)
