"Professor, since you've stated that the senses are our most valuable assets during a duel, wouldn't any spell that damages one of the five senses be a spell valued over all the others? Conjunctivitis, the spell that toys with someone's eyesight, would be an extreme assistance because, as I stated before, most wizards rely on their eyesight and therefore will be at a large loss in the duel. After all, if they couldn't use their other senses correctly, they would be at a disadvantage. And, of course, the spell Stupefy, which knocks your opponent out, would also be helpful but displays absolutely no creativity or imagination whatsoever." There must have been other spells that toyed with the senses, but this was the only one the second year could recall off the top of her head. Medea nodded. "Any spell that hinders one's senses vould be a great advantage for you, yet I'm looking for something a bit more simple than that. Stupefy vould be right up there, yes. Good." Quote:

Then it came to him. He raised his hand and said "Proffesor I think that protego would be the best spell in a duel. Because one it is very simple to do, and two it's a protection charm. Without that spell you would get hit more often." "And you certainly vouldn't vont that to happen." she smiled. "Good." Quote:

"Protego would be my greatest asset, professor." Raising her hand as she answered. Quote:

Experlliarmus is indeed a great tool to use. Good." Quote:

"We learned from a dueling master last year that the shield charm is very important" he said after raising his arm. "But personally...i don't have one" he mumbled , cheeks blushing as he looked at the ground. "Unless Scourgify is one ..i'm really good at that one!"
blink blink "Indeed it is." she smiled. Though she had no clue what he meant about not having one. One what? "Scourgify..." Goodness. "Not one that I'd personally use in a duel, but if it vorks for you, than so be it." Quote:

Originally Posted by MyPatronusIsaMoose Oakey put his foot down and stretched his arm into the air to answer this question. Professor, I believe that Protego is our greatest asset in a duel. He put his arm down and continued wit his reason. Not only will it protect you from your opponents spells but it will also deflect that spell back at them. Making Protego both an defensive and if used properly an offensive spell. "One of the greater things about the spell." she nodded. "It's both defensive and offensive if one masters it vell enough. Great thinking, Mister Gunter." Quote:
Originally Posted by CJP Olivia sat with her legs crossed on the mat and raised her hand Expeliarmus would be a duelers greatest asset, because it gives you a chance to cast more spells on your opponent cause they are dissarmed, but if your opponent is able to cast spells without a wand petrificus totallus would be useful because it limits your opponent's movement She was actually quite pleased the girl mentioned the body-bind spell instead of something a bit more damaging. "Right. You may end up against someone who can do vandless magic, and the body-bind spell vill certainly be one of the better spells to do. Good thoughts." Quote:

"Both sight and sound are rather important." she said, nodding a bit with an amused expression. "Keep up vith the rest of us though, Miss Penta. Ve're talking about spells." Quote:
Originally Posted by CurlyPotter14 Jordan raised his hand, "Professor wouldn't the shield charm, Protego, be your greatest asset in a duel?" he asked, "Depeneding on the strength of the charm, it will protect you from most spells apart from unforgivables. And don't people say that defense is the best offence or something like that?" "The shield charm is certainly one of the better spells to use, yes." she smiled, though a look of thought crossed her features. "I'm not quite sure that saying applies to vot you are getting at. Good thoughts though." Quote:
Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 "I think Expelliarmus would be the most helpful spell", Alex said. "If you could take away your enemy's wand, they would not be able to harm you by casting more spells." "Yes, indeed." she nodded. "Good." Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassandra Taylor raised her hand. She wasn't too sure but she might as well give it a shot. "Professor i would say Expelliarmus but that is a charm so would Petrificus Totalus or perhaps Stupefy be the greatest asset when you are dueling?" She was a little nervous and wondered if the professor would think the comment with expelliarmus was unnessary or maybe rude.... hopefully it didnt offend anyone.... "The more popular spells in a duel, though I'd say the disarming charm vould be the best out of the three if your opponent is not able to use vandless magic." Quote:
Originally Posted by Lissy Longbottom Alex raised his hand. "I think the best tool you can use during a duel is Expelliarmus. While it's good to know how to protect yourself, that's only temporary whereas Expelliarmus can be a total game changer. If you can disarm them, you're pretty much golden," he explained. "You'd pretty much have them beat." she nodded with a smile. Or in the words of Mister Greingoth, you'd be golden. "Good." Quote:
Originally Posted by Jessiqua Zhenya raised her hand and said, "The greatest spell you could use as your greatest asset would be the one you have mastered. Not one you barely know, as it might not work. But I suppose the disarming spell, if you could, would do it. But then the opponent might get physical to fight. So it's hard to say, because your best spell might not be good enough if you're up against a dark wizard. Also I think stupefy might be good. Didn't Harry Potter use it to save his live?" she asked. "Did he?" she asked, eyebrows raising a little at this information. She hadn't studied Harry Potter while she was in school. Not all that much anyhow. It wasn't where her focus went. "Though you are quite right in the fact that you should stick vith spells you know. Dueling is not the time to be trying anything new. If the person does try to use physical force, the disarming spell, besides disarm them, can also knock them back. It's a two in one spell." Quite handy. Quote:

"Professor, the Disarming Charm would be a great asset during a duel because it would enable you to disarm your opponent and gain the upper hand." "Indeed it vould. Good." Medea nodded. Quote:
Originally Posted by Squishy ♥ Amelia thought that this second question was harder. And honestly, it fell into the category of a question that didn't have a right or wrong answer. She still raised her hand. "It's all a matter of opinion, but I think there are a few spells that are really important. More or less at the same level. Expelliarmus is one of them because it leaves your opponent without a wand. Protego would be another one because it acts as a shield and protects you. Then there are spells that would hinder one of the senses. For example there is Conjunctivitis, which takes away their eyesight. That wouldn't leave them totally defenseless, but they wouldn't see you coming when you hit them with spells and their aim would be greatly affected."
She nodded as she thought of any spells that she might be missing and could add to the list. In all honestly, she'd probably use Protego a lot. "Quite frankly, it could make them that much more dangerous as vell if you think about it. The need to be safe can cause them to shoot off random spells and at drastic speeds. Who knows how their aim could be like." Perhaps well enough to even hit their target. "Good thinking though." Quote:
Originally Posted by Bubbles Hmm...was she asking the question the class as a whole or as to their own personal skills? "I would say it'd be the shield charm," he said, raising his hand. "But, in a personal level I'd say the stunning spell." Yeah, because he was familiar with it and it was a spell he felt comfortable doing. Although, the Dueling Professor guy had told him that his wand was good at defensive spells, Kennedy always like playing offense. "Both spells have their uses." she nodded. "Good." Quote:
Originally Posted by midnight_thestral Violet raised her hand after listening to the teacher's previous questions and lesson. "I believe the disarming spell could be the most important during a duel with another wizard. Without their wand, I don't think they would be able to do much, unless they can do very dark and advanced spells perhaps?" "It isn't all that difficult to find someone who can perform vandless magic, though finding someone who can do it vell enough is another story. When in doubt, if you are able to disarm them and not certain about their abilities, the body bind spell is another vay to go." And it just went up from their. Quote:
Originally Posted by hpfan18 Annabelle raised her hand to answer the professor's question. "I think the disarming spell expelliarums would be usefull because you got the advantage of casting another spell while the opponent is weak." That is what Annabelle would do anyways in a real duel. "Indeed you would." Medea nodded. "Good." Quote:
Originally Posted by tomewitch "Sound and sight?" Beezus asked when Professor Romanos said they'd be focusing on two senses at that time. Hmmmm..spell that is your greatest asset in a duel? After pondering for a while, she raised her hand. "Professor, I believe it depends on the caster of the spell. I mean, if you're not good at doing the Disarming or Stunning Spell then it still won't work to your advantage. As for me, I consider myself good at the Diffindo spell so I suppose that is my greatest spell asset in a duel. Though learning more spells would be very most helpful." the young eaglette chirped. Medea nodded, a smile playing on her face. "It does indeed depend on the caster and vot they're comfortable vith doing and know." Whether it was the right or wrong way depended on the caster as well. "There really is not right or wrong answer here. A few of you had the right idea though. The spell that becomes a wizard's greatest asset is one that they've mastered and are comfortable vith doing. Like Miss Castell has said, if you can't do a spell, than it isn't vorth trying in the first place. You have no advantage over your opponent. Most often though, the two spells that vould most likely help you win a duel is the disarming charm and the shield charm. The disarming charm both disarms your opponent and knocks them back if used correctly, and the shield charm can become both a defensive and offensive spell depending on how you use it."
"Ve'll be practicing these two spells today as vell as use them in our duels ve'll do later on. I know you all know the incantations..." She'd heard it many times in their answers. "Though who can tell me the wand movements for the Disarming Spell and the Shield Charm?" |
