Assignment 3 (30 points)
Short Answer for 2 points each.
1. Which wand core excels at transfiguration and levitation and is very common in European wands?
2. What would be a good wood for a Healer's wand?
3. What does the Latin word augeo mean?
4. What would happen if you pointed your wand at your head and said Capillusaugeo?
5. Which wand core is helpful for love spells and spells related to music and why?
Essay for 20 points.
For this essay, please tell me about your own wand. What kind of wand wood was used, the length, and the core? There is always the possibility that your particular wand wood does not appear on my list. Feel free to research (yes, I said research) your wand wood, as I'm sure there is more information available on the web of more tree sources. Where and when did you get it? Please tell me what type of charms would be most effective given your wand wood. Do you think that your wand chose you? Do the properties of the wood compare to you, as a person? Details, please *g*. No less than 100 words, no maximum limit, I know how you all like to give such detailed essays. *cackle*
Extra Credit 3 (30 points)
This month's Extra Credit is a bit tricky. I'd like you to take one base Latin word, usually a verb to create action (like augeo — grow) and add four separate linking Latin words to create four new charms. I'd like to know the function of the charm, the correct pronunciation, the wand technique, and any other tidbits of information you'd like to give me. No short answers, I want detail for a full 30 points.
