ooc: Aw! Didn't know the class has started!!!


*Nadia looks enthusiastical* Luckily we have been practicing on this spell on our own at the DA club, professor, plus we studied it last year. So I can tell you what the effects are:

Impedimenta should feel like a slight disconection of your brain from your locomotor system (all of it) for a fraction of second. In that case it's very alike Locomotor Mortis, only the last should only make you loose the sensivility, tact and response from your legs only, and for a larger period of time.

Also I heard there's two ways of Impedimenta - one is the curse, which should be more powerful, and the other is the jinx. Though there's the possibiliy that the last isn't but the well-known Trip Jinx. Like this:

Impedimenta (im-ped-ih-MEN-tah): “Impedimentum” L. hindrance - Impediment Jinx; stop or slow down object/person from approaching caster. Popular on duelling. (*Trip Jinx: Interfere with movement, making the target trip and fall :: Precedes Impedimenta, mild Impediment curse)

I also think there's a way not loose your balance when cursed, if you are concentrated enough, but I'm not too sure. This what we were aiming last time in our DA meeting.

Is that right, professor?


*looks around and spots her mate -*

"Watch out, Backslash! Impedimenta!" Nadia shouts and though the curse to him.

Nadia waits for an answer from the teacher while watching carefully for Backslash's actions.
