Scary weapon? Er. "That depends on the intent. If you're intending to use it in an offensive way, to cast dark magic at someone, it'll be worse than if you're just trying to defend yourself or your home." Shrug. "I'm glad you mentioned what happens when something goes past the barrier. Poof is correct! Well done!" Better terminology was needed but he'd accept it.

The ironic thing, professor, is that his fwooper wand core actually came with the near-inability to cast Quietus...and likely Silencio would suffer the same fate. Not that the first year was aware of this information himself seeing as he had not done his research on his core just yet.

But to the professor's initial reply, the blonde's blue eyes widened. We? Was he already being told that he needed private tutoring? NEAT! Or...was it more....neat?

And then he was shaking his head a bit, because that had not been what he had meant - casting the shield spell and then shooting off others. "I meant more the POOF effect made it kind of like a weapon," he clarified. Because once you disintegrates...well...there was no coming back from that, right? "How come your s-s-spell zapped ins-stead? Intent?"

Important clarification point for the young man...who was now having thoughts about his fingers disintegrating on accident when touching someone's shield...or his own...

Any object that tries to pass through this shield will disintegrate so, if you want to test it, I suggest using objects you don't really mind losing." He didn't want to hear any sob stories about someone's favourite poem on a parchment being turned to flakes.

"....... there! I'll give you ten-to-fifteen minutes to practice before we move on to something a lot more exciting." Just look at that mysterious grin on the man's face. Sickening, wasn't it?

It was HARD keeping up with note taking, but Derf managed...ish...and was starting to think that Gryffindor Pizza Boy Blaise Bellaire was on to something really REALLY smart with his quill. He was pretty sure mum and dad wouldn't approve of that though...insist that he would learn better by doing it all himself. Which...yeah...actually...he did agree with. But professors were giving out SO much information and his brain just wasn't spongey enough to soak it all up.

....wibble....

But it DID absorb the next set of instructions! Which meant that his wand was out and he was to his feet speed walking around to find himself some space. Protego...he could probably manage that one without any sort of disaster. Upon flapping and stretching his arms a little, Derf set to practicing the first of the spells until he felt confident enough to give it a go - on himself, yeah?

He was just about to cast it when he spotted Zoryn...running in place...so he made his way over to her and joined in. "Pssssssssst," he whispered. "Practice wiff me?"
