"Oh, so money is one." yay for memory! "And magical items, too." Then she reread the assignment. "So... I could say aquamenti, right? That violates the law.. or seems to... but I don't know where the water actually comes from. Is it summoned from a source?" She hoped she wasn't asking too many questions. Or any that Mina couldn't answer.

Mina thought about it and nodded slightly. She wasn't really sure about some of it, but she did have a guess and it was worth trying to explain what she could. "Well, runes are a set of symbols. In their physical state, you can really use them to communicate. I mean Witch Runes were used for that reason. We studied them last term. And the carvings on runes varies. Some have the Elder Futhark alphabet and others have pictures on them. It really just depends on what kind of runes we are talking about." she tried to explain. "So you know for our homework, we need to make our own set of runes, right? Once we finish them we can use our runes to reading and stuff. Each rune stands for a different thing and has a meaning." She just hoped she was making sense to Ellie.

"Yes, food, money, love, life, and objects with magical properties." she smiled. "Well, you are just summoning the water and not creating it out of thin air. It comes from somewhere else and you aren't really creating it. It's hard to understand and all but you know magic isn't always easy to understand."
