"The ways to end or negate spell effects include," And the words appeared on the blackboard as she spoke. "Use of a specific counterspell; use of a spell that opposes the specific spell effects; use of a generic counterspell; in some cases, the death of the caster; in some cases, lowering your wand and ceasing your focus; the use of potions to negate the effects in question ; preventing the spell from taking hold by blocking or warding against it ; wait for the spell effects to wear off on its own; use a series of spells to negate composite spell effects."

"Of course not all of these methods are effective in all cases. Remember that charms, by nature tend to be longer-lasting. Think of magical, bewitched objects. The charms on these are not applied constantly, and the intent used to apply said charms does not need to be held in the original caster's mind in order for them to continue working." So the concept of lowering your wand really only worked while the charm was being cast in the first place. Mmmhmm.

"The difference between Finite and Finite Incantatem is important to note. We're going to be using Finite to counter the charm I'm going to teach you today. Why do you think we will want to use Finite and NOT Finite Incantatem as the counterspell today?" Just a quick easy question.

ooc: I don't need a million answers to this one, I'll reply once I have a few that are right and move on with the lesson. So if there are already several posts with the answer, but you still want to post/show you're participating, you can go ahead and have your charrie taking notes/listening etc instead of responding with the answer.


Alyssa thought carefully about the answer before raising her hand."Professor, we will be using just the Finite spell to counter the charm instead of the other spell because you just want us to end the spell that was cast on the object that we are working on, and not end all spells that have been cast in the surrounding areas around us, which is what using the spell Finite Incantatem will do. "Alyssa hoped that her answer was sufficient.
