"Welcome to charms class once again, students! Raiku and I are happy to see you," said Professor O'Conner, her words proven by the sound of the soft thumping of the Malamute's tail against the floor from where the dog sat at the side of her desk.
"I hope that this class is as interesting as my last one." She seemed to think about that for a moment.
"-or more interesting, if you are of the opinion the first class was not.
"Today we will be learning a spell that makes an object change colors continuously. Some of you might think I mean Multicorfors but in truth, the spell I am speaking of is a bit different and a bit trickier to learn.
"While Multicorfors allows the caster to change a objects color once, the spell we are learning today, Vicissitudinis Coloratis not only changes the color of the object, it then causes the colors to continuously shift between the colors chosen by the castor. It is unknown how many possible colors this spell can be charged with, only that the more colors are desired the harder it is to make the spell clearly and brightly show each color before changing to another.
"It was once said that Uric the Oddball tried to push this spell to its limits, but this was unfortunately after his Fwooper experiment. After very close examination, it was determined he had managed only to produce 12 different shades of grey in his chosen object - the fur of a very docile Puffskein.
"Now, one way to change this spell is to think of the color you want very clearly in your mind, then cause that color of sparks to cascade from your wand. Once you have the desired color repeat this process until you have all the colors you want. Then cast the spell on your object.
"I will allow you to put your chosen colors on a piece of parchment prior to attempting this spell, so you might more easily concentrate on them. For those of you who are unsure what type of object would be safe to charm, I have here a basket of wood shapes for you to choose from." She pointed with her wand at a wicker basket on her desk, which had all the manner of 3-dimensional shapes in it from spheres to obelisks, five point stars to blocks. All the shapes were whitewashed, so that the student's efforts might shine through as brightly as possible.
"Further information can be found on the blackboard, there," she concluded as an old blackboard wheeled itself into position beside Raiku.
The blackboard read:
Incantation: Vicissitudinis Coloratis ( veh-SISS-eh-tud-IN-is Coe-low-RA-tis )
Easy: Make an inanimate object provided by the teacher change at least three identifiable colors.
Intermediate: Make a inanimate object of your choice change at least five identifiable colors.
Difficult: Make part of an object of your choice change at least seven identifiable colors.
Requirements:
Working In groups is allowed, but please be sure NOT to do another's Homework for them.
Please DO NOT attempt this spell on a pet -whether yours or not- pets are not submitable in this course.
Also DO NOT steal an object from a someone else. If you haven't an object that is appropriate for submission, please borrow one of the objects in the basket on my desk, or buy one from the school store at your earliest convenience.
