Suffice it to say watching the spell in action got this Ravenclaw's jaw to drop slightly. He's never seen curse-breaking done live, always just reading about it. This was advanced Arithmancy stuff, and was now studiously referring to his book and closely following the Professor's demonstration at the same time.
But now they were to decipher the glowing numbers. Feeling quite unsure of himself, the Ravenclaw plows on anyway. He grabs his parchment and copies down the glowing numbers, then proceeds to try to figure things out....
SPOILER!!: Vickers' parchment
Numbers seen: 110595959
Possible groupings: 1 10 5 9 59 59
(Basis)= 1= The spell affects leaders, or in this case, teachers, as they lead a class/ discussion
(Kernel)= 1 and 0 = What the spell does is that it begins (indicated by 1) decay (indicated by 0)
(Range)= 5 = Spell is activated by physical touch (mentioned by Prof)
(Kind of Spell)= The spell starts a metamorphosis (indicated by 9) of the object, then a change in the tolerance (indicated by 5 and 9) of physical touch, wanting to end being touched immediately (indicated by 5 and 9)
He sat back into his seat, brows still furrowed in deep thought, even doubt. This sorta made sense to him, but is it anywhere near what the Professor was trying to make them understand?
