"Right. Accio allows the caster to summon objects from great distances through concentration vhile Carpe Retractum summons a magical rope that grabs a hold of the object and retracts it to you. Or vice versa, you are pulled tovard the object; although both distance and strength restrictions apply to the latter spell. You must have a clear line of sight on the object to use Carpe Retractum." Hopefully...that all made sense to the second year. Anymore questions were certainly welcome.

"I believe now is a good of time as any to start practicing the Seize and Pull charm before ve get into our larger activity." Turning around, she moved from one side of the room to the other, tapping four invisible items which began to slowly appear in sight as the spell dummies from the dueling arena. All four very much stuck to the ground. "Ve've gone over the vand movement, vhich is a tight vhip like motion tovards the object you're targeting, and ve know the incantation Carpe Retractum." Turning towards the class, she moved out of the way of the dummies. "For those of you who do not haff this spell mastered yet, now vould be a good time to get in the practice. For those of you who do haff it mastered, I vould like you to attempt it nonverbally."

And as an example, she demonstrated on one of the dummies. "Carpe Retractum!" The whip like motion of her wand created a purple lighted rope that looped snug around the dummy before a flick of her wand back had the rope retreating into her wand. "You'll notice that the color of the rope for this particular object should be purple. If you haff any questions, please do ask, but, other than that...feel free to begin."

OOC: We're just practicing the Carpe Retractum upon the four dummies for now. Those of you practicing this nonverbally, do play by your character's skill level. We'll be getting into our activity very soon! Feel free to be as creative as you want, but be aware, Professor Romanos is watching and any funny business upon other students will be noticed. Maybe.
