For now though, she flicked her wand cast Arithmos Revelio, as numbers in glowing red hovered in front of the bracelet;
110595959
"So knowing the parts of the spell, break apart that number and interpret it with accordance of what each part of the spell means." Quote:

Sometimes three. Usually the Kernel and the Range are more likely to contain three than the Basis or the Cline. The more numbers that a curse contains, the more complicated. If there's too many numbers or the numbers are too tightly bound together where you can't decipher which part is which number, chances are the curse is too complicated and dark." In which case they wouldn't be able to break that curse with standard methods of curse-breaking. But for a simple Flagrante curse, they should have minimal issues... Back to her sketching, Kendall tried to hide the sigh as the subject of numbers had come back. She'd gotten her hopes up with the last class she remembered, when all they had done was to guess things without seeing them. Trying to figure out curses by looking at numbers just made things seem way too complicated in her opinion, and made her think that maybe curse-breaking really wasn't as cool as she'd thought. She'd still taken out another piece of parchment to start actually taking notes, though. They might come in useful next term for the exams she really didn't want to deal with, but she'd probably not look at them again until then. And she'd continued adding more details to her butterfly on the first sheet of parchment, only looking up as Professor Hadley had said she'd cast the spell for them, on her evil bracelet.
Her eyes had widened as first a string of glowy red numbers had appeared in the air above the bracelet, then the professor had said it was their job to decipher how the number was separated into all the parts of the curse that she'd only barely paid attention to. We can't get help with that too?, she'd thought, even as a firstie had up and asked about if the separate number groups could have three numbers instead of two or even one. At which point she found out that it wasn't really possible for a part to only have one number. That was useful, and she broke away from the sketch long enough to actually try to accomplish something for the activity. Even if it was entirely wrong, which it probably would be.
SPOILER!!: parchment Curse-breaking SpeRevelio= identifies if an object is cursed Arithmos Revelio= identifies what curse is on the object using numbers (ick) Curse parts (with Arithmos Revelio): - Basis: what the spell affects
- Kernel/Core: what the spell does
- Range: how the spell is activated
- Cline/Type: what kind of spell it is
Possible curse used: Flagrante curse Possible numbers with Professor Hadley’s cursed bracelet:
0= decay
1= beginning, independence, leadership (?)
5= change, physical world/touch
9= immediate, short-lived, metamorphosis Numbers: 110595959 Basis: 11 (The curse affects the person who puts the bracelet on first, in this case Professor Hadley, who is a head of house and therefore kinda a leader) Kernel/Core: 059 (The spell creates burns/decay of the skin immediately upon the first physical touch, spec ifically putting the bracelet on) Range: 595 (The change is immediate and physical, plus short-lived because she takes the bracelet off and it stops) Cline: 9 (the skin undergoes a metamorphosis ‘cause it’s all red and burned immediately)
