"The galdr can not carve the wood on its own. The galdr is the incantation element of a spell, the other two elements, wand movement and intent are comparable to the shape and form of the rune, and of course the focus you need to carve. However, without a wand, you still need a tool to use to actually do the risting."

From a cupboard under the chalkboard, Truebridge withdrew a box containing enough burins for the entire class.

"These are engraving tools, a type of cold chisel that works fairly well for carving runes, particularly in wood. They're called Burins. Each burin has been charmed so that it will only carve wood, and therefore they are perfectly safe to use, and you need not worry about cutting your skin by accident. Naturally you will all still wear the gloves and goggles provided." Because Truebridge did not want another probation. No thank you. And already this class had proved themselves well able to injure themselves and others regardless of safety precautions.

"You will need to use the burin, and chant the galdr for the rune you are carving. You don't need to be exact about the galdr either, as you will see in your textbooks, chapter seven."

He placed the box on his desk at the front of the room.

"Come and get a burin and try it out on your test pieces of wood. If you need another piece of wood you can get one of those too." He placed a stack by the burins just in case. "When you think you have the hang of it and are ready to carve runes directly into the table, put your hand up and I will check your work and answer any questions you might have."

ooc: sorry for my absence, it was unexpected and unavoidable. Please have your character get a tool and practice carving runes into the test wood pieces. This is an ELBOW grease thing, physically carving the wood. The Burin won't do a thing without someone physically using it to carve the wood. Have fun and remember the tools are charmed not to hurt people, but any fooling around will result in Truebridge punishing the culprits. Remember, don't carve the tables yet!

Emily put her wand in her bag and went to get a burin.
This tools were quite cool!

Still wearing her gloves and goggles she started carving into the wood:

"thurisaz thurisaz thurisaz
th th th th th th th th th
thur thar thur ther thor
thu tha thu the tho
th th th th th th th th th"

Ok, she felt slightly silly doing this, but it was working! Yey!

"dagaz dagaz dagaz

du da di de do

odh edh idh adh udh
od ed ud ad ud
d d d a a a g g g a a a z z z"

She carved her other rune. They both didn't look as good as the one's in the text book, but this was her first lesson! And she was doing extreamly well for a first year!

Emily made more and more carvings in the wood, then raised her hand.
"Profosser? These burins? Are they a muggle tool, except these ones are charmed?" she was curious to how muggles survived without magic...
