"The twenty four runes of the Elder Futhark are listed here, along with a few magical and divinatory meanings associated with each one. The tables you are sitting at are each made of wood and I think are rather bare. So today we're going to choose runes to carve into the tables, based on the magical associations of each rune, and activate the magic of each one, hopefully to provide beneficial effects on your learning."
Yes. They'd be carving up the furniture.
"So take a look at the list. What kind of runes do you think would be good to carve into a desk that you do schoolwork on? What kind of effects would you think might be beneficial? Put your hand up if you can see one here, and do feel free to think outside the box, there is a lot of opportunity for that. You're welcome to say a rune someone else has said, but do try to share a different magical association to that rune as well as why you think it'd be
useful."
ooc: be creative, go ahead and say as many runes as you want, as long as your character can say why they think it'd be beneficial to be on a school desk/table. Oh, thank Merlin!
Sierra more than happily opened her textbook, comforted to know that when the next question was asked, she had something other than her imagination to guide her toward saying something that made sense. She flipped to chapter five and scanned the page as the professor continued with the lesson.
She only really looked up and gave her full attention when she heard they were going to carve runes into the furniture today! That actually sounded pretty cool, and with that thought alone, she was back to thinking she may be able to survive Ancient Runes after all.
Now all she had to do was fine a rune that she believed would be beneficial to carve into her work area. Scanning the page a bit more, she raised her hand when she came across one that look perfect for her.
"Eihwaz," she announced.
"You see, Professor, when I first came to class, I was a little nervous because I don't know much about Ancient Runes at all. Actually, I don't know anything about Ancient Runes."
She glanced back down in her book and read,
"...but it says here Eihwaz represents things like change, initiation, and confrontation of fears. I think that perfectly fits someone like me. I think carving it into the table would help give us strength and determination to continue with things that are new and possibly unheard of for us."
