Kurumi noticed the look that Professor Jenkins gave her when she hadn't answered. Oops. But, he really couldn't blame her when she didn't really have an idea to share, right? Her mind was still wandering and unable to focus on the class properly, which was really upsetting to her because she found discussions about magical properties within physical things to be a very fascinating subject. One wouldn't have guessed that a tree would have magical properties, right? Kurumi rather wished that there was a lesson on THAT. Studying magical properties within things and figuring out just what those properties were...

See! She was getting distracted all over again. What had he just asked?

Slowly, Kurumi raised her hand, this time. "Professor, perhaps it is because runes that you make yourself are more...attune to you? It is always said that magic always leaves a traces, and leaving a trace of yourself in runes would make the properties of that particular rune mixed with the magical properties of the wood the rune itself is made from resonate more strongly?" That...made sense, didn't it? Maybe she should have kept quite since it was clear, at least to her, that she was still having a hard time focusing. "And...is the spell Intaglio?" That had been the spell she had learned from Professor Truebridge at least.
