Regina, in a similar fashion to Marilyn (no judgement for her not wanting to be involved with the students; this lesson was for them after all -- the armour was just a precuation), stayed out of the action. However, instead of blocking off part of the room, the headmistress was still vulnerable to the skrewts. The shield would be enough to protect her, even if one of the creatures decided to attack her.
"No, Miss Cambridge, you are NOT keeping any of the skrewts," the woman stated in response to her question. These weren't pets or anything to be experimented on any further.
As the skrewts continued to roam free around the room, the woman was intently watching the reactions of the students. She was observing, mentally taking not of the spells they were casting and how well they were faring. Algiz was at work here, folks! The armour they all were wearing was and would keep them safe from the flames as well as any suckers and stingers.
Well, almost all of them were wearing the armour. There was a lone Hufflepuff who, for some reason, had apparently missed that crucial instruction. "MR. ASHBURRY-HAWTHORNE, PUT THAT ARMOUR ON RIGHT NOW!"
Honestly. Common sense.
Eyes moved to the others, impressed with their usage of spells. Aquamenti was doing them some favours, at least when it came to extinguishing the skrewts' flames. Though was it really working in subduing the beasts? Regina noticed that it seemed to make them only more upset.
The orange light coming from Charlotte's wand made the woman curious, wondering just what the girl was going to do. The Isa carving that was on her shield now was promising.
Suddenly the sound of quacking filled her hears. What the -- oh. The headmistress' head turned toward Ronan, who had successfully transfigured one of the skrewts into a duck. Needless to say, she was impressed. Though she was a bit taken aback at the one that now had duck wings. Merlin's beard...
An approving smile was given toward Stasya, who had just frozen one of the skrewts. That was one of several ways to go about stopping them. She hoped the others were willing to think of the other methods that could be used in this situation.
Lastly, her focus landed on Kitty and Ava. So far the two were getting on pretty well, and Ava had just casted a strong shield. Though was the shield really necessary? "Miss Burton, while I am impressed by your magical shield, remember that your armour does have the energies of Algiz surging through it. There is really no need for magical shields to be casted." Unless you were an amour-less Derfael.
Speaking of not casting magical barriers or even using a wand at all, Jessa caught the woman's attention once more. Wow. Talk about putting the power of Algiz to the test.
"Alright, everyone! In ten more minutes I want to see these skrewts restrained. Figure out how to humanely stop them with magic," she briefly instructed to the whole group. "And keep in mind that some spells will work more efficiently than others. Regardless of what you cast, however, your armour will protect you." So, if they made a mistake, at most the armour would be lightly scratched, burned, or dented by the skrewts.
OOC: Hello, everyone! You all are doing great! Just a heads-up that the lesson will be wrapping up tomorrow in roughly 34 hours from the time this post was made. I'm hoping to get a couple more SKREWT! posts made before then, so keep on posting. :)
