Amber wrote down the meanings of the symbols. Quote:

cheza looked at everyone who was answering the question |
Brittany quickly wrote down the runes and then turned towards a new piece of parchment for class-notes. |
g_g waited patiently for the lesson to start. she glanced around the room as her classmates were busily answering the questions. she took out another parchment for which she would take down notes as the lesson would go on.... |
srimathi began to take notes |
she wated for the professer to talk ready to take down notes |
"Three points each to Lua, Cheza and Mandy. Do try to be on time for next class, Cheza," Opteryx nodded to her as he summoned over the last two pieces of classwork from the respective students. "As to your question, Mandy, whether a rune is to be 'feared' or not isn't because of its potential properties, but in what context or spell it is used in and what effects other runes around it have. Each rune has two possible effects, the 'normal' effect it would have when activated, and an inverse or reverse effect. Take Thurisaz for example; it can be used to mean evil or protection, depending on how it's used." "Oh, and before I forget, here's what Ihwaz and Ehwaz look like in comparison to each other:" http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...yx/n-ihwaz.gif http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...yx/n-ehwaz.gif "Now, moving along, who can tell me what this rune is, and it's properties?" http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...eryx/n-isa.gif |
Lua raised her hand and answered "This rune is Isa,its exact translation is Ice. HOwever its meanings are also Ice, cold, freezing, Lack of change, Stagnation, Lack of emotion, Storing binding and Bridge across danger." |
this rune is called Isa,does it mean ice,cold,freezing,lack of change stagnation,lack of emotian,storing binding and bridge across danger saeda said. |
"Quite right, three points to both of you," Opteryx said. "One interesting property of this rune in divination and spellcasting is that it's one of the few who have no inverse meaning. I use the word 'inverse' to describe the properties of a rune when it is placed or spelled while inverted or upside-down. This is because Isa looks the same no matter if it's upside down or rightside up. Can anyone name me some other runes who have no inverse?" |
Rave raised her hand, "Dagaz is one, Sir." |
Meghan raised her hand, "Gebo and Ingwaz are two, professor" Meghan piped up. |
Serena raised her hand. "Jera is another." |
Mandi raised her hand and asked, "What about Perthro and Kenaz?" |
g_g was taking down notes. she wanteed to remember all of this. |
Harry raised his hand , "professor, even berkanan,sowilo,hagalaz,kauno and thurisaz have no inverse, right ?" he said politely..then suddenly a question came to his mind , "professor,what is a blank rune and does it have any inverse??" |
srimathi copied it all down trying to remember everything |

"Ah, here's where it gets a bit tricky. Pertho or Perth looks like it may be the same upside down or rightside up, but it doesn't: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...yx/n-perth.gif "Now, if you invert the rune, you end up with this: http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...h_inverted.jpg "So Perth does have an inverse. The same is with the case of Kenaz or Kauno, Thurisaz and Berkanan, to name a few. Hagalaz and Sowilo, however, don't have inverses, so six points to Harry for bringing them up." "As for the case of the blank rune...it isn't agreed upon whether it can be considered a real rune or not, since it's, well, blank. It's often used to represent fate or destiny, and is linked with the Norse god Odin. I like to think of it as a 'wild card' in a chain of runes--that the meaning or effect this rune has on a chain is determined by all the other runes in the chain. As such, the blank rune doesn't have an inverse, or even a reverse meaning. Another five points to Harry for bringing it up." "To sum it up, the runes without inverses are as follows:" Opteryx waved his wand at the blackboard and the classwork was replaced by a list of runes: Quote:

Lee nodded, quickly scratchign down notes here and there and drawing the runes themselves for later usage, he didn't even know why he was taking notes down due to the fact it was all in his textbook. But two lots of notes was better than one yes? |
g_g copied down everything. "Runes without inverses are...." she thought to herself as she wrote. |
Harry memorized all the runes without an inverse and quickly wrote them down on a piece of parchment Quote:
|
candace sat and took down all the notes hopping not to miss anything at all |
Quote:
|
candace thougth about this then raised her hand. |
Cheza wrote down the names of the runes, their meaning, and drew what the simbol was, then she rased her hand "professer vy do zeas runes have no inverse?" |
