oh its Erik ok · 01-29-2017, 05:04 AM

Mostly what he wanted know was a discussion since well he had no activity planned. Which it only made him happier when something he was not even going to bring up did get brought up. Bone Runes. Very Interesting Stuff. He would have thought the first thing brought up is Stone besides wood

Too bad they weren't getting to try making them.... but they were moving on already, and that was cool with Char too, since she did often get bored of things... but even she was a bit thrown by how much they were jumping around.

She stuck her hand up at the next question.

"Professor, I think wood is traditionally best for a reason, especially fruit-bearing woods, because then you can invoke them properly because its connected with living things, and its easier for carving the runes in! Bone is good if you want to do more powerful or harmful magic though!" Well, some people did.

"Why would you say Bones Runes when talking about more powerful magic?"

But Norse times, eh?

Professor Sokolov had told her about Nid curses and she carefully wrote it down on her piece of parchment, but something wasn't quite adding up. "Professor," She started after raising her hand. "If Nid curses were that powerful, why did they need to do any carving to invoke the runes?" Couldn't they just curse their opponents verbally and be done with it?

Or did they need to invoke the runes in Nid curses as well? ... they probably did, didn't they? Oops.

Yeah he probably should have been more clear on that. His mistake. "They would need to invoke the runes on the pole of the nidstang. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Its a very powerful and ancient ritual, One that should not and would not be used lightly and whimsically. My question to you is do you think its easier to just curse them person instead of during the ceremony?"

So I would think maybe the wood would be better?" Logic would make it easier to envoke a rune on a medium that wasn't moving. Well it made sense to Hattie that way, and she didn't really understand the subject a lot, so it did help.

She did have a point. Especially if the person did not like pain. "You would not have any problems with having to worry about wood moving. Though you could say the same with about stone or bone. Couldn't you?"

He listened to the discussion on tattoos and slowly began forming an opinion. Also, he had chosen a rune of protection, hadn't he? The professor had said he was surprised nobody had chosen a rune of protection, but Brent thought the one he'd chosen related to protection, too. Or not. He wasn't the best Runes student.

So onto those tattoos. Brent raised his hand. "I started to say skin, but that seems really permanent to me, or at least permanent until you can find a way to get it off," he said. "With wood, though, you can get rid of it if need be. Let's just say you ended up getting a rune on your skin and then you decide it was the wrong course of action. I don't know...maybe it's some curse or something. You're kind of stuck with it on your skin, but on a piece of wood, can't you just get rid of the wood?" Or was there some sort of weird connection between the carver and the wood at that point?

Really all he was looking for was solid reasoning behind the answers. Right or wrong it did not matter right now. Like Mister Westwood's answer about it being somewhat permanent. "Its less permanent than say stone. But you have a good point. You would be stuck with it even if the curse if removed. But do you think a rune on the skin is less powerful because its on the skin and no on wood or stone? "

What did she thing was the best for calling upon runes? Cassie had to think hard on that, cutting out additional options given she couldn’t think of others at the moment. Both wood and skin were technically natural and living which she had to agree with others seeming like it made an impact in the summoning behind the carved runes in it. But then the professor had mentioned that on the skin they were tattoos not carved…did that make a difference?

“I think it would have to do with how the tattoos were applied. The act of carving into wood…or stone is part of the infusion of the magic behind the rune, wouldn’t then the application onto skin need to follow the same lines to be as strong or stronger?” That that she was thinking carving runes into skin was a good idea, but some were applied with needles…right?

Ah now he got something about infusion

"That Miss McNally is where those type of runes get their strength from. From infusing the runes whether it be bone, stone, wood. Different materials will have different strengths. Its the same principle with skin. Just you would hope there is no carving. Do you think skin is the weakest of the runes i listed. bone, stone, wood?"

And then the Runesman asked the next question, and with that Tenacius had to give pause. "Uhm.... Professor, I guess it depends on what you're gonna use the Runes for? I mean yeah, wood would be good--" he nudged his head at Char's response "-- but there might be situations where using stone or metal might be more appropriate, for one thing those material will last longer than wood... or maybe you want a rune to conduct electricity or something, so a metal one would be better than wood?.... I dunno." Runes looks so cool but it does seem to be so complicated.

"Have not heard anything about metal. A rune to conduct electricity. I have not tested that. But sounds like a fun experiment. Would you think it would stronger that way than just using a rune on wood?"

Gemstones was another he was not that knowledgeable about. Its interesting to think about what type of power it would have when invoked. "I have not heard that they are connected to human beings. While it is also part of nature. To tell the truth i know nothing about gemstones. So it would be an interesting thing to test like the metal"

So he was in a bit of a schoolboy daze when he raised his hand to offer up an answer - because he knew what wood was the best! - and eyes certainly not on the professor when he was called upon. But thankfully there was not too much of an awkward pause between him being called and him speaking. Although noticeable enough.

"Lime and ash!"

The BEST woods for a REASON!

Lime and Ash. Well he did not give a why for the answer. But he was not wrong since it is types of wood. But he should expect Viktor to ask why.

"Why Ash and Lime"

"You must have hands of steel." It was said in a joking manner, and meant just in that way, as well. Not sarcasm or anything.

Magic had to be more fullproof. And less painful.

Anyway, the professor was doing a bit of talking... and others were already offering up answers, so Liv took to writing things down. Her head was starting to really hurt, and it wasn't doing great things for her concentration. Although, there was one thing she wanted to add.... or ask about? Whichever. "I think wood would be better, because... you can smear blood on them, and it kinda seeps into the wood, right? There would be...." The Gryffindor paused trying to clear away the sudden dizziness. "... There would be traces left behind. So... maybe that would keep it powered up. Maybe?"

Ugh, she was going to be sick.

Blood Magic mixed with traditional rune magic. Very interesting.

"So to power up the rune by using blood. You don't think you could get the same result using a bone instead of using blood and wood?"

Well now he had a list of different materials and at least got the majority thinking about the different uses of them. He wasn't going to go off on a another subject anymore or ask for another relic of Ancient Norse history. Now it was just time to find everyone's opinions. "So to recap. We went from just Wood and Skin to include Bone, Stone, Metal, Gemstones, And even Blood Magic to mix together with all these. Though as said. I don't really know anything about gemstones or Metal. What gives all these the power they have besides your own magical talent? I would say its a mix of your belief in the Rune and how strongly the the material you are carving the rune is connected to life or living things. Which would make wood not the best but one of the most reliable especially if it is from fruit-wood. But each have their purpose. Now it all depends on what you are using the Runes for. Do you think there is any material's i have not said that can be used. And what would you use Bone, Stone or even Metal Runes for? "

OOC:Hi Guys. ill be moving on in around 22 hours from now.
