"For those of you who said 'Intaglio' was the incantation are correct. Personally I prefer to either carve my runes into the wood using a gouge tool or to burn the runes by using hot iron." He replaced his wand back into its holster and perched against his desk again. "The runes have their own magic and I prefer not to taint them with other kinds. But that is only my opinion. If you wish to use the incantation then that is totally up to you."
He pulled a satchel out of his drawer and laid it out onto the desk. "We won't be practicing with the hot iron today." Oliver wasn't sure how much he could trust the students yet. They seemed well behaved, but put a red hot iron branding tool in their hands and Merlin only knew what could happen.
"There are some gouge tools up here that you can use. So I'd like you all to come up the front grab yourself a piece of wood and gouge tool if you are using it and then return to your desk and practice carving your runes into the wood. If you need any help then please just raise your hand and I'll come over and assist you."
ooc: Just RP your character carving into their piece of wood. Points will be awarded for participation.
As the professor gave the go ahead to come get some wood and a tool, Lily got up and went up to the front of the room, grabbing a block of wood and a tool before returning to her seat. Once she had returned to her seat, Lily got a question. Raising her hand to get help from the professor, she waited until he got over to her seat before asking. "
Um.. Does it matter which rune we decide to practice carving out? And is there any technique that you suggest we use while carving?" Lily figured she had to ask, since she didn't want to get in trouble and also had never carved anything before.
