Truebridge conjured a piece of wood and simply duplicated it, passing it out by charming one piece to float over to each student and come to a gentle rest on the table in front of them. "Please collect some gloves and goggles from this box here. You must wear these." He summoned a box and placed it on his desk. Eh. If it were up to him he'd let them go to it without worry about protective gear but apparently parents got jumpy about such things these days.
"We'll begin with the magical method. Some of you may remember a similar sounding spell from a class I taught on Kappa a few years back. The incantation is 'Intaglio', and the wand movement is simply moving your wand against the surface exactly where you wish to cut. The trick with the intent here is that you need to keep in mind the rune you are attempting to carve. Concentrate on the meaning and on the name of the rune, repeating it over and over until you are done. For example, if I wished to carve Uruz, I would touch my wand to the wood, and say' Intaglio Uruz uruz uruz uruz uruz...' until I have completed the shape of the Uruz rune." He paused.
"So the incantation and the intent changes as you carve different runes. Is that understood? You may practice on the pieces of wood I handed out just now, but you may not cut into the table yet. Furthermore, you'll find that the worst that will happen as far as injuring yourself goes, is a cut and a bit of blood, you certainly won't severe a finger or anything of that sort. It isn't that sort of spell. But of course you'll all be particularly careful won't you? " They are going to carve a Rune? Wow. Cool..!!
Freya walked towards the Professor desk to collect goggle and gloves. After she got the goggle and gloves for herself, the Slytherin blonde made her way back to her work table. She put the goggles and the gloves on before she began craving Rune.
Okay all set. She thought for a moment what rune she'd like to carve on the woods. She flipped through her runes textbook to find a perfect rune.
"Hmm..I think I'll go with Sowilo" she said to herself. She pulled out her wand and took a very deep breath before she pointed her wand to the wood
"Intaglio Sowilo..Sowilo..Sowilo..Sowilo..Sowilo..Sowilo." After a lot more Sowilo later, she looked to her wood and saw Sowilo craved onto the wood.
