Magick on the Fly - Thursday, 6/11 - Period Four
"Today's lesson isn't so much a lesson as it is something to think about."
She held up her wand, ebony with silver on either end, its length the same as the distance between the tip of her middle finger and the bend of her arm.
"I'm sure you've seen my wand before today and you will more than likely see my wand after as it tends to make an appearance during the more unfortunate events that occasionally occur on the island. My wand is many things, of course, but most often it is used for the preloaded charm I've placed on it which allows me to freeze an object, or living being, in a suspended state in time and space.
"Quite a trick, hmm? Well, perhaps to some of you. To others, of course, perhaps not so much. Regardless, the concept remains the same: a preloaded spell can be endlessly useful to you for a variety of reasons.
"All the events and troubles we've mentioned before? Well, you can avoid them with a pre-loaded spell. A ring that's set to tell you if poisons entered the air, a bracelet made of charms to provide a shield from harm, a hairclip that will counteract any drugs or spellwork used to muddy your mind to make it clear once more so you can function. These are things that you work on and prepare when you have the time and the energy and use at a moment's warning to assist you. Even if your spellwork is accomplished simply and easily, a preloaded spell can be used to give you warning when you wouldn't be consciously looking or to perform magic in a way that a combatant wouldn't know to look for or guard against.
"So today, I'd like you to try and figure out preloaded spells that could be a part of your daily attire or kept on your person without trouble which would be useful to you. Work with each other and try and point out flaws or specifics that might be ill considered. Try to allow for what you can actually do or think of as possible and start from there. And remember: be practical. Setting something on fire is flashy and impressive but seldom the actual solution to anything."
