Hogwarts RPG Name:
Saroja
Default Arithmancy Lab

This old classroom looks as though it might have once been used as a potions lab or something similar. There are a number of tables in the middle of the room, each surrounded by three stools. Each table has a number of strange looking magical objects on it as well as numerous candles, magnifying glasses, prisms, and similar instruments. A number of very old books similarly line the walls, some are propped up on ancient wooden pulpits. A large desk sits at the front of the room with a large mirror positioned above it so that all students can properly see what the teacher is doing. When not in use, the door to the lab is firmly locked.

Quote:
List of Devices and Spells Within Students' Books:
  • Put-Outer - This device removes the light from torches, lights, and any other illuminating device.
    Subjects Required: Arithmancy/Ancient Runes [simple], Transfiguration [simple], Charms [intermediate]
    • Variation; 'Put-Inner' (Functions largely the same, but is capable of restoring light to sources that have been put out), 'Put-Arounder' (Capable of removing and restoring light to simple sources).
  • 4 Pocket Back-Pack - This device is a simple backpack which has four large draw-strings. Each draw string opens a completely separate compartment, allowing the bag to function as four backpacks, but weighing only the same amount as a single, empty bag.
    Subjects Required: Arithmancy [intermediate], Charms [intermediate], Transfiguration [advanced]
  • Friend Finder - Shows how close your friends (up to five, entered manually) are. They appear as foggy, bright cloud-like people in the mirror.
    Subjects Required: Arithmancy [advanced], Charms [intermediate], Transfiguration [intermediate]

[OOC: Students are allowed to experiment and create any device on this list. Each device should take a significant amount of time. The class levels indicate how much knowledge is required for each item/spell. Students should RP appropriately, and ask for help necessarily to either I or others. More to come as I find time.]
