As the students suggested those spells, the blackboard was writing;

Botros stood there staring at the list with a broad smile. "Most of those spells are great with Isa. Some are better than others, let us specify; Protective spells do work well with Isa but they work better with Algiz as we learned last term, the protective side of Isa is limited to stopping the bad literally stopping it in time or in space. It doesn't remove it, it just freezes it until you move out of the way or duck." He hoped they were writing what he was saying because it was serious information.

"The cheering charm works alright with Isa but if you want a real mood booster there's definitely a better rune to go with that. Isa would calm an enraged person rather than cheer someone up." His cane touched the board to the next spell. "The levitation charm doesn't go well with Isa. It's a movement charm, Isa is all about stillness and staying in place, but thank you for thinking outside the box Mr. Adair.

"The Impedimenta jinx works great with Isa, as well as Petrificus totalus." He looked at the two boys who suggested them respectively, "Any jinx or hex that's about freezing or binding goes very well with Isa, but don't get any ideas now, those are only allowed in the Dueling arena." He chuckled, and moved on. "The Imperturbable charm does not benefit from Isa's magic energy, but the barrier it creates will hold longer than average. With the right rune master and some spells, the barrier would freeze the eavesdropper." He gave Whitlock a mischievous smile. "Ms. Newell here suggested a very interesting charm, the Containment charm. I would say, Newell, that this is a doable combination. You just need to really focus your intention when you summon Isa's magic and touch that deeper meaning of the rune if you want it to enhance that charm. It's a little harder to achieve than freezing water, like Mr. Newell just suggested, but it's doable." He had faith in the Slytherin girl, she had the dedication for it.

"Aguamenti and the other water spells do work with Isa, the rune would most likely get them to produce frozen or extremely cold water. So, if that is your intention, you're welcome to use it." The Newell boy got a small smile. "The same goes for Ventus, the rune would help produce really cold, sometimes with frozen particles even, wind. Be careful if you try it inside." He was not a fan of this combination, obviously.

As for the napping or sleeping spell, Botros chuckled. "Hibernating spell? You mean something that gives a drowsy effect on the castee? Hmm... Isa does have a calming effect if you have the right will when you invoke it, so yes, it could work." The little Hufflepuff got an encouraging smile. "Disillusionment charm, like Mr. Odessa suggested, would go very well with Isa. This rune's main energy is stasis, the disillusionment charm makes the target as a chameleon, it allows it to take the color and texture of what surrounds it, with Isa the disillusionment would stabilize the target's ability to mimic its environment. Brilliant suggestion, Mr. Odessa." Just like with Ms. Newell.

"Potions do work well with runes, Ms. Wright, but that's a discussion for another lesson." He gave the little Ravenclaw a warm smile before moving to the last student. "The answer I was looking for specifically is said by Mr. Mordaunt." Once again this boy impressed him. "Isa is a stopper, mainly. It works perfectly with Finite, the spell that stops any action or magic. I do realize that Isa doesn't end the process when it's used on its own, but with Finite, Isa significantly helps that spell in doing what it's supposed to do." He adds it on the board.

"Now. I want you all to take the Isa runestone, chant the galdr to activate it then use it with the spells you suggested. Those of you who suggested hexes and jinxes, please practice Isa with the Finite charm instead." He leaned backwards on his desk. "You may work with a partner, you need to work with one I'm assuming, and just be creative in how you use those spells. If there's no more questions, you may begin. I'm right here watching." So, no funny business.
