That was getting more to the actual point of the lesson, whether he knew it or not. “More accurately, crystal balls are used for crystallomancy,” she pointed out, “ although that in fact is a branch of scrying. I would imagine most serious Diviners wouldn’t use their crystal balls as paperweights, however. Not the ones they specifically use, as that could dim the orb’s power.” At least, that was her opinion. One didn’t usually use their wand for anything other than magical things, most of the time, and that should extend to other magical tools as well.
She turned and set the crystal ball in question back on her table, then returned her attention to the class in order to speak again. “Scrying, as so many of you have touched on,” whether or not they realized it, “is a method of using reflections, images, to gain insight into the past, present and future. of course, the reflections that one sees aren’t really there, but merely visions brought about through focus and reflected in the orb or whatever is used. Not only crystal balls can be used, in fact, for scrying. Does anyone want to suggest something else that could be used?” Eventually they would get to the actual activity she had planned, but touching on scrying was always in her plans. Everything was related when it came to Divination anyhow.
ooc: Moving things along . . . ;) Same rules apply as usual. (and those who replied to the first question all get one point)
| Kimalia frowned hearing everyone's answers, she merely wrote down in her notes what seemed to be the plausible answer.
She then yawned, the room was very warm and causing her to feel drowsy. Ugh, so not sleeping in class. She shook her hand and turned her attention back to the Professor. Quote:

“Okay everyone, I think I’ll let you guys discuss things a bit on your own before we move things along to the activity I have planned,” she continued, giving the class another smile before explaining her idea. “Why don’t you choose something, one of the methods we’ve already suggested or something else entirely that you think could be considered scrying, and discuss how you think it’s actually useful or not. Whether, for example, you think it’s in fact possible for someone to think they see images that can predict things in a mirror. Work in your groups, come up with an argument either for or against and I’ll take a look after a little while. We can discuss your ideas again before moving along.” It could be dangerous, but she knew she could control them. And keep the possible pyromaniacs away from her crystal ball and lighting the curtains on fire or something.
ooc: I have work tomorrow, but I’ll be back after I get home again to check on you guys, continue things. So basically, you can have a character in your groups write the ideas down as you discuss them, or at least somehow keep track and we can have a little debate after I’m done with work again. I’ll try to continue things after a day, but at the latest I’ll move the lesson along after Weds. night when I’ll have time again. Try not to get too crazy, though, and I will definitely try to check in as often as I can. And this is not the official practical activity for the lesson. Just another fun way of having discussion. Points for participation are up for grabs though.
| Kimalia looked around at the other paired up before sighing. Partnerless again, Kimalia smiled despite her disappointment and called out, " Anyone need a partner?" |
