That little spider of Professor Romanos was still such a delight to Eliza. She didn't really know why she liked it so much, seeing as it wasn't very cuddly, but it brought a smile to her face when she watched it scuttle around and up the professor's arm. Cute little spidey, she thought as it tinked and pinged its metal parts as it went along.

SPOILER!!: Eliza's DADA Shield Notes

Eliza Dawnsel
Defense Against the Dark Arts - Lesson 3

Shields

Contego- provides a shield around the object or person targeted though it can disappear after taking a few hits

Impiriano - creates a one way barrier. You can cast out, but objects can't come in. Magic can though, and it's weak against it. (tight circle, small flick - blue shield)

Revertoscutum - changes magically created things that hit the shield back into previous form. Ex. Glass bottles back into sand

Protego - shields the caster. Good for use against incoming magic.

Loricatus - creates a temporary invisible armor. You can feel its weight and restriction though.



Eliza copied down the examples of shields the best she could. The sunlight streaming into the room was awfully distracting though. I wish we could have class outside... she thought dreamily. But shields were definitely important things to learn, so she'd take them any way she could get them - indoors or out. I wonder how strong the Loricatus armor is. Could you use it for a real sword fight? I wonder if any knights ever cheated by using that spell...Well unless everyone said magic was allowed, then I guess it wouldn't be cheating, but I somehow doubt the average knight would've been used to seeing magic. Hmmm...

She practiced the incantation quietly to herself on her purple mat. "Imperiano...imperiano...im-peer-ee-ah-no. Imperiano." Sounds good to me, she thought. That one's not so hard to say. Loricatus might trip me up more though.
