It took Jace a few good minutes before he was able to lift a muscle. The Ravenclaw seemed to be stuck with the activity as he tried to think of a thing that hasn't been discovered or thought of yet. This may not be a big deal to some, but for the young Eagle...this activity was everything. What if somebody liked the invention he'd make? What if the idea gets funded? His chances were small, but it's an opportunity nonetheless.
Still without an idea, he stood up from his seat to get his blood pumping and went straight to the supplies desk to get all the things he needed. Absent-mindedly stacking his arm with the drawing materials he needed, Jace literally froze in his spot as he managed to come up with something that no wizard or witch has done before. Turning, he went back to his seat in a haste, carefully dumping the drawing materials to the side as he got a fresh parchment from his bag and started to write down his idea. After finishing the written portion, he gave it another round of proof reading, after which, he went straight to making the poster. Professor Art would be delighted!

Title of Invention: Hyperpolyglot Potion
Statement of the Problem: In a world where language can be an issue, clear communication between people of different countries may not be possible. Although English is the universal language used, not all are equipped to speak it. The same goes for native or non-native English speakers who do not speak another language such as Japanese, Chinese, Russian, or any other language that is not commonly studied. The same goes for the magical community whose jobs require them to speak Mermish, Gobbledook, and perhaps Parseltongue. Although it is better to learn these languages the traditional way, the solution proposed can only provide the user, to borrow the ability to speak a foreign language for a limited time. The solution proposed is reversible in nature.
Proposed Solution: The solution being proposed is a potion in paste, philtre, or draft form that can be applied directly on the neck and temple area of the head, or directly through drinking. The potion shall be composed of ingredients that are safe to consume should the drinker be on other medication or if a woman is expecting a child. The potion can only last a few minutes, but the limit can be extended depending on the strength of the potion ingredients used.
Satisfied with his work, Jace got up from his seat again, and turned over his work to Professor Rosalyn. He went to put all the drawing materials back to where he got them, and returned to his seat to watch
Azura and
Jasper. Do any of them need his help?
