History of Magic Notice Board

[Kaos.Doodles]

Located right outside of the History of Magic classroom is a large wooden board with a sleek white material placed in the middle of it. The board is charmed to display any recent homework that is assigned, as well as any announcements that Professor Scabior deems important. Make sure you check in frequently! The board has a habit of erasing anything that it thinks has been posted for too long.

OOC: This is not an RP thread. Please do not RP in here.

History of Magic Final

In class we have discussed the importance of “little people” in history, as well as the inner workings of a wand.

This final will be broken down into three parts:

Part One: You will choose a “little” person in Wizard history and research about their lives. Then you will write 2 parchments (paragraphs) on them and WHY they are important to Wizard history.

Part Two: After you have finished your research of the person of your choosing. You will be creating a replica of what you think could be the chosen wizard or witches wand. The point is to create a wand you think would fit them. If you find information about their real wand, discard it and only focus on YOUR idea of a wand for them. This will require 3-5 posts in the reference room of researching and creating the wand.

Keep in mind: The core. The wood. The length. And the flexibility.

A working wand is not expected (because as students it would be almost impossible for you to just master Wandlore), just something that resembles a wand. How it is created is not a big issue either (I teach history of magic not charms) as long as you research properly and create the wand. Materials and information can be found in the History of Magic Reference Room (Professor Scabior will also be strolling around in case any help is needed in the room, especially with wand woods).

Spells & Charms that Might be Useful:
The Severing Charm, Incantation: Diffindo
The Gouging Spell, Incantation: Defodio
The Smoothing Spell, Incantation: Glisseo

Part Three: Write 3 parchments on how the wand relates to the wizard and why.

Part Four: There is no part four. I said before there was only three parts. But if you MUST need a part four it would be submitting parts one, the links to part two, and part three.

Mark Breakdown:
Part One: 15 Points
Part Two: 15 Points
Part Three: 20 points
Total: 50 points
