It's a magnification charm, and it magnifies the effect of both light and shadow. Like this." He cast the charm at the fire, and the light seemed to spread out in all directions, glowing brighter, its range expanding. Returning the fire to its normal state, Jared cast it on a shadow that lurked between the trees. The shadow seemed to grow, dimming the light of the fire.

"The incantation is luxra magnifica. Luz-ra mag-ni-fi-ka," he repeated, more slowly. "The wand movement is a circle and an X. So." Using his wand, Jared traced a circle in the air, then brought it down twice to make a quick X in the air. "Give it a try." Little lanterns, all lit, appeared in front of each student so that they could practice the charm. "You'll need the magnified light, when we go into the Forest."[/COLOR]
Ghosts? Why were they talking about gho...
THEY WERE GOING INTO THE FOREST?!?!
What in the name of Merlins beard where they going in there for? They were... werewolves and... creatures in the forbidden forest! That's why it was forbidden!!!

Biting her lip she moved closer to Nika. They would stick together... or be eaten trying! She hoped she mastered this spell quickly!
"Luz-ra mag-nif-ik-a" she repeated slowly. Then a circle and a quick X.
Right, time to try it for real. She coughed and held tighted onto her wand.
Everyone seemed to be using it on the light.
'Time for some darkness me thinks' she grinned slightly.

"Luxra Magnifica!" she cried while doing the circle and X.
Her shadow seemed to engluf some of the light surrounding her and Nika so it was much darker. Hee hee. Magic.

His green gaze shifted, directed at the dark trees in the near distance for a brief moment, before settling back on the class in general. "We're going to have someone that knows some parts of the Forest quite well, for a guide. Can anyone guess who?"

Not a fang-bearing, man-eating spider, unfortunately.

Unfortunately.
Someone was showing them around the forest? At least they would be safer in a group... or more food for something to eat.
Anyway, think. Someone who knew the grounds well?
"Um, Mr. Stryker? He is the groundskeeper after all, so I assume he knows them well?" It was a guess, but she could put two and two together.
