Cast a spell ON Flamsteed? Toby's eyes flicked to the man and he automatically felt real sorry for him. He was really gonna cop it in this lesson, wasn't he, having to shield OR let all these spells hit him? Toby didn't want to make the guy's life more difficult or anything, so he was tempted to try and sit this one out, but as an older student it felt right that he should be one of the volunteers or something. And by the way, he was side-eyeing Soph for her own choice of spell. Always with the tickling.

He scanned the list of spells in his notes, eventually deciding on one that seemed like the best fit. He offered himself up for a volunteer and then went up to the front when it was his turn.

"Uh, okay, so... I'm gonna cast Duro, the Hardening Charm," he said to the room at large. "The wand movement is this sort of... upward line, and then a curve back down-" he paused to demonstrate "-almost like you're writing the letter D, but quite finishing it. The incantation is Duro, of course, and what it does is turns the target into stone." Toby glanced briefly at Flamsteed, then the Headmistress, then the class again. "Okay," he said, more to himself than anyone else.

He turned to Airey and held up his wand, looking him up and down, chewing on his lip in indecision. Now would be a really bad time to have one of those fire mishaps, because he wasn't sure if it was a spell that would be shielded.

"Duro!" Toby cast suddenly, pointing his wand at Airey's shoes and doing that incomplete letter D wand movement. He focused HARD on on trying to just turn the shoes to stone, and not Airey's actual feet. He tried, at least. It would be cool if he managed to get the floor too, and sort of trap him in place, feet melded to floor. Even if he didn't this method would stop or at least slow someone in their tracks. Difficult to charge at people or prance around in a duel if you were weighed down by stone shoes. If anything, it was a distraction.

Speaking of distractions, Toby tried not to let his focus wander. He made sure to be prepared, as Truebridge had said.
