Jessica unscrewed her inkpot, dipped in her quill and pressed it to the smooth surface of her parchment. She jotted down the question: "In your own words, please explain the concept of the zeroeth law of Arithmancy," and paused for a moment, concentrating hard on what to write.

After a while, she lowered her quill and wrote down the heading in neat, block writing on the top right of her paper. Thinking hard, she began to scribble down anything she knew about The Zeroeth Law of Arithmancy.

Quote:

THE ZEROETH LAW OF ARITHMANCY

The Zeroeth Law explains that all spells, charms and jinxes can be portrayed by numerical values. Zero is a highly significant figure here. It represents nothingness and non-existence. Charms and Spells can be reduced to nothingness through arithmetic equations and expressions. While a figure is subtracted or added to zero, it remains as it is. However, when multiplied by Zero, it changes too into zero, so it actually decays and perishes. This is the very law which explains why each and every existing object/ spell is apt to perish. Through the Zeroeth law every curse or charm can be undone. If the Zeroeth Law is left on its own, it will decay an object until it disappears. It is not summoned, but is always there.

The best example to explain the Zeroeth Law more clearly is when, some twenty years back, the highly powerful enchantments on the Antipodean Opaleyes Dragon Colony of Great Britain were left to themselves and not revitalized or recharged. With the progression of time, the Zeroeth Law went in effect and after some years, the enchantments perished, leading to the deaths of two wizards and a muggles when a dragon went on rampage.

In short, we can say that according to this law, Zero is the number that changes every object or spell into nothingness and can remove/ reduce it. Every existing being and non-living thing is doomed to fade away from the world one day due to the Zeroeth Law. It depicts the succession of time and how, with time, all things must disappear.

She paused once more. Skimming through the essay, she could not find it very satisfactory. But that was all she knew about the Zeroeth Law. She racked her brains for any more information but after a while, she gave up. She went through it again, putting in a few commas and correcting several spelling errors. Finally, she put down her quill on the side of her desk and went over it once more.
