And to do this, you must add together the values from each word to get a final value for that sentence. Again, remember, do not reduce." She reiterated the last bit sternly, once more, because she knew she always emphasized the reduction in any previous calculation they've done for Arithmancy. This was different.
Gosh, a whole sentence.. Kimalia didn't want to cut through this simply, "

"
There," Kimalia sighed. "
That wasn't so bad." She set her quill back down for further grading and instructions.
