Stone is more permanent, but harder to get the magic to stick."

Truebridge looked around. It looked like most students had got the hang of that method.

"The next method does not use wands, so for those of you who are done practicing the Intaglio method, please holster your wand and listen."

Truebridge started with a question,

"Can anyone explain what a 'galdr' is?".

So you could put these markings in more than just wood! She had thought you could! Mabye she could convince her sister to carve one onto her wardrobe door.

Oh! Emily knew this question!
She raised her hand and said "A galar are the sounds used in runic spells"
She smiled, she hadn't said it in as much detail as everyone else, but she had said something at least!
