Eirian raised her hand. She remembered little scribbly things like these from some jewelry she had seen being sold. She wasn't sure if the vendor had been muggle or magical, but they had mentioned that the writing meant something. Really, she wasn't even sure it was this 'Elder Futhark,' but it was worth a shot. This wasn't like in potions, where she would be taken out back and executed for an incorrect answer.

"They were meant to conjure magic in a way, I think," she murmured. "They were... prayers or curses? Depending on the word written, they were meant to bring different things, such as good luck or growth. This is the type of magic that muggles usually think they can make work themselves." As if that was possible... Some muggles were gullible. Not everyone had magic, and they couldn't write or force their way into that group.
