Okay. She didn't know that much about the horse head on a stick, unlike some of her older classmates, apparently; they could probably be teaching the lesson themselves, with those monologues. She noted all their ideas down, frowning fiercely as she scribbled away, before raising her spare hand as she finished off the last few sentences.
"Doesn't life make really powerful magic?" she suggested, her eyes intent as she tried to remember what she had read. This lesson definitely reminded her of that, even if it hadn't been to do with runes originally. "Like... some dark witches and wizards used to use sacrifice to amplify their spells, and blood can be very powerful magically. And because it's dark, it works even better with curses?" It was logical, if nothing else. After all, no magical force could recreate a life which had been lost; it stood to reason, then, that the taking of a life could create a piece of magic like no other. Even if that life was only a horse.
