SPOILER!!: Professor

Sebastian looked up as Professor Truebridge seemed to be talking to him. "Thanks, Professor." He said with a mere smile and then looked back down at his wood. Okay, so he just needed to get the runes right without slanting them this way or that, and hopefully they would come out right.

Seb listened as Professor Truebridge explained what exactly a 'galdr' was as he put away his wand back into his bag. One part of the Professor's disussion about that topic caught his eye. Singing to the runes? Hah! You've got to be kidding me! He was not singing...or if he had to...it wouldn't be loud. He watched the fehu runes glowing and he put his head upon his hand. This seemed hard.

He tried to think of how the Intaglio spell would be similar to the basic galdr. Well he could find the differences, that was for sure, but similarities? He definitey couldn't think of any.

As for the falsetto aspect, that is not strictly necessary but some find that it helps and many muggles who attempt the magic do it. You can combine different runes into one galdr to suit your purposes but for today we will stick with the one galdr per rune, much like the example given a moment ago with: "fehu fehu fehu f f f f f f f f f fu fa fi fe fo of ef if af uf f f f f f f f f f." He fell quiet and looked around the room, eyeing the fehu runes that were carved around the place, some of them appeared to glow slightly but that was to be expected as many of them he'd carved himself. "Can anyone think of how a basic galdr like this is similar to the Intaglio spell method that we practiced with our wands?"[/color] Sebastian looked up as Professor Truebridge seemed to be talking to him.
