extra credit four
Please complete any combination of the following options for your 30 extra credit points.
A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS (and 30 points!)
Draw or create a graphic of something important from the lesson, such as some form of representation of a charm or it's casting, or an inventor of one of the charms we've discussed. Please give me a brief (1 or 2 sentence at most) explanation of what is in your graphic.
CLASS CHARMS COMPENDIUM (30 points)
Charms inventing is very dangerous, and as such, we won't be doing any practical spell-inventing in this class. However, we can begin developing theoretical possibilities! Please create 5 possible new charms that fit under the category prevention or protection. Each charm is worth 6 points, so please tell me the name and incantation for the charm, the wand movement, and a few things about the charm's effect/intended use. Post your potential charms to the class forum under the thread Class Charms Compendium. Please make sure you write "Extra Credit 4 - Prevention or Protection" in bold at the top of your post. It might also be in your best interest to look at how charms are commonly named, but you don't have to follow this convention if you don't want to.
BURN THE WITCH! (3o points)
In commemoration of the witch who made flame-freezing charms famous, complete this puzzle and upload a screenshot of the image to a photo-hosting site like Photobucket or Tinypic, and send me the direct link only. Please also tell me the name of the witch who made flame-freezing charms famous (and thus, who is in this puzzle!)
