Just creating, the theory part of planet formation will be covered next time. I would like you all to come up here and pick one piece of foliage or two from the box on the right and a small stone from the one on the left. Once you have made your selection, I want you all to grab the container of powdered iron and, using your mortar and pestle at your station, grind up everything into a fine powder. Two scoops of the iron, if you will. The stones may take a few good whacks with your pestle, but should break down rather easily. Repeat the same spell as you did with your 'Sun', and toss the swirling ball that forms with your 'Sun' and close the lid on your box. Make sure it is shut tight."

OOC: I am so sorry for the slight delay guys >___< thank you all for your patience <3

You should have a minimum of 3 posts for this activity and complete the following steps:
select some foliage from one box

pick a small stone from the other box

add two scoops of iron to the mortar

grind up the above three items into a powder

perform Fingere Elementi again

TADA! PLANET!
Should your character do all this correctly, their planet should not be larger than their 'Sun'. Orbiting around the 'Sun' will not begin just yet either, but some short jagged counter-clockwise movements could happen.

close the lid on the glass box

You will have at least 48 hours to complete this activity You CAN catch up and do the first activity of making the 'Sun' if you missed your chance.

As always, any questions can be directed to me OOC via PM/VM or IC to Professor Flamsteed.

Sander sat quietly at his workstation, watching in awe at the sun he had created, when Professor Flamsteed began to speak giving instructions to everyone on what they needed to do next. They were going to make a planet now? Did he hear that correctly? He knew that he was having problems with his hearing, but did Professor Flamsteed just say that they were going to make a planet.

A smile began to grow on his face as he picked up his quill and began writing down the instructions in his journal as the Professor said them word for word.

Text Cut: Sander's Journal

Putting down his quill, Sander read what he had written. Then he got out of his seat and walked to the front of the room, to where the two large boxes were placed. He looked into the box on the right and looked around before picking up a flower from inside it. Then he looked over to the box on the left and picked out a small stone. Now that he had both, he returned to his workstation.
