Flicking his wand at the board, the instructions wrote themselves: Using the spells we learned in class, protect yourself from the elements, create shelter, and generate heat. You may also use other spells you know, but remember that you are being graded on how well you demonstrate your ability to use the spells taught.
The following can be found through the room for your use:
A cluster of potted trees, sturdy enough not the bend if needed for support. You may break off twigs from their branches. Worms can also be found in their soil.
A pile of knotty, gnarled tree branches: wet
Scraps of fabric about the size of a scarf
Shoelaces
Vines
Another flick of his wand to activate charms that had been placed before class, Preston changed the room, significantly. The room has been charmed to resemble outdoors in early winter. The floor is muddy and some parts are covered with snow. The air is cold and moist, as if it might rain at any moment. For safety, the room has been charmed to prevent stray fire.
"You may continue your practice with temran madera and palus, at your discretion given the change in conditions, before moving onto the final. There will also be a written assignment to complete after you build your shelter that you may owl to me. Once you begin working on your shelter, please, no collaborating with others. When you have completed your final, you may leave."
ooc: Take your time moving onto the final, but please do not post practicing AND your final in the same post. You can finish your final in one post if you'd like, or you can use several. This thread (and the final) will close at 9pm EST on Sunday, November 21st (one week and one hour from right now). This portion is worth
25 points and the written (posted on the Transfiguration notice board) is worth another
15.
Freya was still eying her work when Prof. Kingsley said that they could began their final after they finished with Temran Madera. Well, she already finished with both Temran Madera and Palus so it's time to take her Transfiguration final. She saw the instruction for their final on the board. It said that they had to protect themselves from the elements, create shelter, and generate heat.
'Heat? but it's not really that cold here' she thought. Then suddenly the room changed. It looked like outdoors in early winter. Even some parts of the class were snowing and she felt really cold.
'Ah. So that's why they had to conjure fire' 'Okie dokie here's goes my first final' she thought and walked slowly towards the ingredients. She thought for a moment what ingredients she wanted to use for her shelter. After finished grabbing the ingredients for her tent, Freya laid them in an area where she's planning to build her tent. First thing first. She desperately needed something to warm herself, she picked up two scarps of fabrics from her ingredients. She pulled out her wand, picturing a nice warm wool scarf on her mind before pointing it to the first fabric, she drew a line in the air, top to bottom as she said the incantation
"Escarpa Vellus!" and the fabric turned into a very warm wool scarf. She put the scarf in her neck. Now for the gloves, she pointed her wand to the second fabric
"Manus Vellus!" with a small circular flick then the fabric turned into wool gloves, she put the gloves on. Now after she's feeling a bit warm, she was ready to make a tent.
First, she needed a floor so she could sit down on her tent without worrying to get cold and wet. She grabbed a couple of leaves from the potted trees. She drew horizontal line with her wand and said the incantation
"Temran Madera!" the first leaf was now successfully transfigured into a wooden board three feet long. That wasn't enough for the floor. Obviously! Duh! So she transfigured 3 more leaves into wooden boards. Now she needed nails to make them a solid floor. She picked up some worms from the soil on the potted trees. With a flick of her wand
"Tacque!" the worm turned into a nail. She repeated these with the rest of the worms until she got enough amount of nails. After finished transfigured the worms into nails,
"Malleus" Freya began hammering the nails into the 4 wooden boards with her wand so it'd made a solid floor. Now she was done with the floor.
Second, she needed poles for her tent. She grabbed tree branches from the potted tree. With a flick from her wand, she casted
"Palus!" on them. The branches turned into smooth wooden poles with the same height. Okay now she already had the poles, the next thing she needed is ropes to tie them. She grabbed the shoelace and pointed her wand to it
"Cordage Creatus!" accompanied by two loose circles with her wand. The shoelace turned into rope and she began to tie the three poles with it. After she made sure the rope was tight enough, she grabbed another scarp of fabric so she could made some sort of roof for her tent.
"Vestis Cottone!" the fabric changed into a large blanket made of cotton. She threw the cotton blanket over her tent structure. Now that she was done with her tent, she needed something to warm her when she was sitting on the wooden boards with
Vestis Vellus she transfigured another scarp of fabric into a large and very warm wool blanket.
The last but not least, she need fire. So she stepped out few steps from her tent, she made an X movement with her wand
"Focalia!" then a couple of logs appeared in front of her.
"Incendio!" she set the logs on fire. She put both her hand near the fire so she could felt the heat. Ahhhh..soooooo warm..!!She could simply sat there in front of the fire but then she remember she had another final to accomplished. She stood up and gather her things putting them back to her bag.
"Thank you for the amazing lessons, Professor." she smiled and clinging her bag in her shoulder then walked out.
