Corrections? Yes, Erik was still accepting those. "Excellent!" he replied enthusiastically (for him) to the Ravenclaw prefect. "I vas hoping someone vould notice that." Finally. He edited his list by taking the Friar's name off entirely.
Now, if only someone would wise up about Brown...
....she was definitely referencing what Erik thought she was referencing.
Hah. He found himself smirking just a little bit.
"Yes, vhat is a correct. Very good example, Alexa." Heh heh heh. He looked for other correct answers as well.
"Yes, you are all correct. Vhe spell shows the caster, only vhe caster, vhere vhe humans are located in vhe room by lighting up vheir outlines and general locations in red. You can hide vhe effects of vhe spell by casting a concealment charm of some variation before you cast vhe revelio, but vhat von't be necessary today." Especially considering they were using the sister spell.
"Like homenum revelio, spiritum revelio only reveals to vhe caster the location of vhere someone died. Vhe incantation itself comes from vhe Latin vord for spirit, as though it is showing you vhere vhe spirit separated from vhe body." If they believed in that sort of thing.
"Vhe incantation is a simple 'Spiritum Revelio' as you draw a counter-clockwise circle in vhe air and vhen point your wand through vhe circle. If it vorks, you vill see an outline of a body - vhe body of vhe dead - in green."
He demonstrated the wandwork for them.
"Now you try." Nothing should happen for them, though, as no one had died in
this room.
Yet. He'd already checked.
You could hide it with a concealment charm? West perked up. This was a good thing to KNOW. He wondered too if it worked in reverse.... Hand up.
"Professor, if you can conceal the revelio charm, can you also take measures to conceal yourself from it? Or conceal traces of a death from one too and like.... hide that stuff somehow?" And... he had more questions. Not that he was planning on murder it was just interesting.
"Does how long ago the death happened matter? And does the method of death effect how much it shows up or whatever? Like... a more violent death rather than just some old dude dying in their sleep or something?" West too had his hand up for questions, just like that one kid...
Also,
"Does it show ghosts?"
And.... and he was gonna practice now. This was definitely interesting.
He drew the circle counter clockwise in the air a few times and then pointed his wand through it. A couple times with that, until he sorta felt alright with it. Not natural but not weird either.
"Spiritum Revelio!" But.... nothing.
