Orynn didn't even seem to take a moment to ponder Kel's response.
"Unfortunately, no Miss Lindenshield. The example you give speaks to location I believe, but your example does provide a good way for me to explain.
"If you are a gardener, for example, and you have a shovel in hand. If the task at hand changes frequently, the switching spell will permit you to keep the same tool. If you need to rake instead of shovel, the a successfully cast switching spell will transform the spade, into a rake. If you need to sweep, than another such spell will change the metallic sweepers into tied-together straw.
The function of the Switching Spell is to change one single element of an animate, or inanimate object. This can be a minor change such as color, or can be something more like; quills into feathers."
Orynn took a moment, letting that all sink in. "The incantation for which is Suppono Res Rei. Are there any questions?"

Orynn cocked an eyebrow. Nothing gets by this one, now does it?[/i] He thought to himself.
"That answer could be applied to all of Transfiguration in general, Miss Wesker. Switching spells, however are the most basic form of Transfiguration and have a very specific purpose." He'd wait a little while longer to see if anybody else was brave enough to respond.

Orynn clapped once, loudly, and the sound echoed in the room and the students grew silent. Even the animals ceased to twitter and croak, all apparently surprised or intimidated by the white-haired deputy.
He let himself fall off his desk, landing on his legs. His cane was nowhere in sight as he apparently didn't need it to help walk anymore. He paced along his platform as he looked at his students and posed a question.
"Can anyone here tell me the nature of Switching Spells?"
{OOC: Kel, I'm really sorry about doing this to you again, but I kinda have to. Please remember that your character would not know any of what they learned from the classes held on the last board. Also, when you get the chance, I'm gonna post a thread for the Groundskeeper soon. Thanks}[/color]

Orynn drummed his fingers on the desk, waiting for more students to arrive. He did however catch sight of the hedgehog. Almost ridiculous, he thought to himself, why was it that students these days were getting more and more creative with their familiars. If it's simple, and works, why make it more complicated? Orynn was a big fan of owls.

Orynn sat unprofessionally on his desk. He was cross-legged and facing his the door that would soon be admitting his students. A cage beside him held a black and yellow lizard which seemed to be sleeping.
He had asked his first and second years to come in today with their animal, as if would facilitate their lesson for the day. Time to get practical.

When your registration is approved, your character name will be added here. DO NOT try and change your mind after you've registered because we'll know.
We will however, like to add that IF you would like to post as your character in another course other than the one's you've registered for, you may do so. Only if you receive permission from the appropriate Professor first![/u][/color] You may do so through PM or whatever other means. This especially applies in cases where your registered class is canceled.

So, this may get a little confusing, so bare with me. This board is devoted to course registrations for your characters. First of all, let me make one thing perfectly clear: students are required to take certain classes each year at Hogwarts, these classes depend on which year you are in.
We are asking that each player register for at least TWO of the classes available to your character. By "registering" I mean that you select two classes (or more) that you, the player, will post in regularly when called for.
IN NO WAY does that mean you can assume that your character isn't taking all the other courses. If you register for Charms and Potions, for example, it means you promise to role play your character in those classes when they are being held. But, you can't assume that your character isn't taking Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts while they are at Hogwarts. Just because you've chosen not to role play in those classes, doesn't mean your character isn't taking them.
This is done so that the "burden" of being a student character is lessened. Instead of asking you to rp your character in 6 or more classrooms, we're asking that you only do so in 2 (minimum).
To prevent everyone from registering for the same class, there will be restrictions on how many students per house can register for a course. This is done to be fair to the Professors, who are here to RP as well.
Keep in mind that the future occupation of your character is dependent on their NEWTS. Not to say that we're going to offer the opportunity for your character to grow in that way, here on The Secret of Magic. However, anything is possible with enough demand. It would definitely be tons of fun to role play with a professor about your student character's future. What they want to be and what courses they'll need to have.
Each and every course offered at Hogwarts is taken at the student's discretion. Five courses is the minimum per character, but again, you (the player) only have to register for two. Just to refresh your memory, here is a list of all the courses offered at Hogwarts:
Please keep in mind that not all the courses have a professor yet. Choose wisely.
- Charms - Defense Against the Dark Arts - Transfiguration - Potions - History of Magic (No prof yet) - Herbology (No prof yet) - Astronomy (No prof yet) - Care of Magical Creatures - Ancient Runes - Divination - Muggle Studies (No prof yet) - Arithmancy (No prof yet) - Teacher's Assistant *
*Each of the professors on the board will decide whether your character is permitted to take this 'course.' It involves aiding a professor of your choosing (if they agree as well) in their classes for the younger grades. This option will only be granted to those whom have impressed their professors on a grand scale through your role playing abilities.
Now, reply to this thread, with the two (or more) courses you will role play in this semester, along with your House and Grade. Thank you very much!
Afterthought Note: All registrations will be removed during the winter vacation. This will allow all students the chance to register again with a clean slate. You'll be allowed to register to rp in the same class again, but it will be first come first served.

Now without further ado, here is the list of courses available to Third, Fourth and Fifth Year Students:
Please keep in mind that not all the courses have a professor yet. Choose wisely.
Mandatory (All 3rd,4th & 5th years take the following) - Charms - Defense Against the Dark Arts - Transfiguration - Potions - History of Magic (No prof yet)
Electives (All 3rd, 4th & 5th years must take at least two of the following, with the option of dropping one sometime during the term.) - Herbology (No prof yet) - Astronomy (No prof yet) - Care of Magical Creatures - Ancient Runes - Divination - Muggle Studies (No prof yet) - Arithmancy (No prof yet)
Now, reply to this thread, with the two (or more) courses you will role play in this semester, along with your House and Grade. Thank you very much!
