So.
"To summarize the correct answers, A Galdr is a chant, a spell, a method of calling and invoking the magic of the Elder Futhark runes. Each galdr has a rhythm, and is in fact 'sung' to the rune in question, while keeping the intent and the magical properties of that rune in mind. 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?"
"Thank you Professor", said Emily beaming.
.....
Emily put her hand up slowly, unsure of her answer,
"Well it's similar in that we need to concentrate on the meaning and magical properties of our runes and it's intent." she said.
