ooc:I see we've rediscovered DADA. Haha. We're done... how about some homework?

"Alright, that's enough practice for now. I hope you feel comfortable enough with these spells to continue to practice them in the comfort of the Duelling Arena. Your homework assignment is posted on the board behind me." She waved her wand.

DADA Homework Assignment 2:
Due January 21, 2006 by midnight EST.

Please list five non-defensive spells that can be used for defensive purposes. Points will be awarded for spelling the incantation and spell name correctly and for explaining how it could be used. Create a secondary list in which you list ways that you, as a defender, could counteract those same spells. If you include defensive spells in your first list, you will receive no points.

Ex: List 1:
1. Cast Silencio to prevent opponent from speaking, and thus from being able to cast a verbal spell.

List 2:
1. Cast nonverbally.
