"The hexes and jinxes listed on the board are relatively simple to achieve. The wand motions for all of the listed hexes are cast by drawing a simple X mark in the air with your wand, directing the motion at your opponent as you speak the incantation. The jinxes listed are all cast with their appropriate incantation and a looping motion...like so." He demonstrated with his wand, moving nimbly (and not leaning on his cane at all). "The incantations can all be found in your text." He paused, looking around the room.

"As we have discussed, one of the most important elements of defensive wand work is the ability to have a keen, aware mind. While practicing duels sharpens your wandwork, it is far more difficult to block a surprise attack. Therefore, I do not see the value in keeping you in the classroom, practicing spellwork. Instead, we are going to play a little game." He grinned at the students, his dark eyes glittering with delight.

"The name of the game is Hex and Go Jinx. The rules are simple. Each house acts as a team. Go about your normal lives for the next 48 hours. Go where you normally go, do what you normally do. If you see someone who is NOT in your house but is wearing a DADA badge, you are free to attack them with any of the hexes or jinxes listed on the blackboard. You may only use the hexes and jinxes I have listed. If you sense someone attacking you, you are free to shield yourself in any way you know how, as long as it is a defensive tactic. You may then retaliate but only with one of the hexes or jinxes that is on the blackboard. You will not be punished for these attacks and counter attacks as long as you are wearing your DADA hall pass... But you may not attack anyone in another professor's class or office; these areas are strictly off limits for this game."

He looked around the room and placed the rules up on the board:

1. For 48 hours, until I post that the game has ended, you are free to use any jinx or hex listed on the board to attack any student who is wearing a DADA badge that is NOT from your house. Do not attack your housemates.

2. You may not hex or jinx anyone inside a classroom or office, or in the hospital wing. If you do so you will be caught and punished.

3. You may not hex or jinx anyone who is not wearing a DADA badge. Do not remove your badge until the game is over.

4. You are free to use any defensive charm you know to protect yourself, but you may only retaliate with a hex or jinx listed on the board.

5. Keep track of who you attacked and the outcome. Get to know one another.

6. Stay vigilant and aware! Keep your defenses up and you are less likely to return to class with spell damage.

7. When I announce the end of the lab period (48 hours), immediately end the game and return to this classroom so we may begin module 2: Curses.

8. HAVE FUN!

"Please practice the hexes if you are unfamiliar with them, then sign the lab sheet so that I know who is wearing badges and will be participating. After you sign the lab sheet you are free to resume your lives and hex... or be hexed." Professor Kazimeriz smirked at the class. "I will see you in 48 hours... if you are lucky. Or very, very good."

ooc: Please RP yourself here 'signing up' if you intend to play so there are no arguments about who was participating and who was not. Then practice a bit if you like, then RP leaving the room. Have fun stormin' the castle and playing this game of 'wizard's tag'; If you have any questions at all please PM me!

She stood up and grabbed a badge and pinned it to the front of her robes. Well he was giving them the green light to attack each other. I just bet that was going to make his day if they killed each other off, she thought to herself as she looked around for someone she could easily beat without much effort.
