So today, we will be learning how to perform the insulation charm, and for your homework, you will be performing it all over the castle to hopefully better retain what little heat we have.”
After that somewhat bitter explanation of what they would be doing today, Fuller turned back towards the board and began to write out the incantation for the students. Caelum Saepio CAY-lum - SAY-pee-oh ”Caelum Saepio,” he said out loud, so they could hear him pronounce it. ”In latin, Caelum roughly translates to Climate and Saepio means to close, seal off, or shut in. What we’ll be doing with this charm is sealing off the castle’s climate from the outside, so whatever heat we produce in here, will stay in here. But, as with all charms, the stronger the opposing force, the harder concentration and greater strength from the caster is needed..” That’s why EVERYONE had to do their homework, so they could insulate this castle and stay warm.
Fuller set the chalk down again. ”The wand movement for this charm is very simple.” He got out his wand to demonstrate and traced a sideways figure eight in front of him. ”You will trace a sideways figure eight, also known as the infinity sign, over the area you would like to insulate while saying the incantation. You may have to do that more than once, or even more than a few times, depending on how large the area you wish to insulate is.
“For now, I want you all to first practice speaking the incantation and then practice the wand movement, separately.” OOC: You must make two posts for full points. One post practicing the incantation and one post practicing the wand movement. You have 24 hours before we move on to the practical portion! Why yes he had... though the one he used on his own clothing was a different charm... more of a personal insulator than one on a space -you carried it with you.
Infinity sign... and... "Caelum Saepio." West repeated dutifully. "Caelum Saepio!" He also practiced holding the incantation and intent in his mind without saying it out loud so he could practice it non-verbally after he'd got it down. Caelum Saepio!
.... idly he wondered if you could use it to insulate a toilet seat. Those had become problematically cold in recent weeks.
