*once again locked against professors*

I think for my next lecture, I'm going to go off-syllabus and teach soul detection, so that I can use my students, Largo-style, to help find which squirrels are really squirrels, and which are transformed students. I expect about 90% of the class to fail at this, as it's a very advanced necromantic spell, and ( Read more... )

What BoVD? Not recognize name.

Not has Libris Mortis, sorry.

polymagic_ash February 26 2009, 22:29:18 UTC

It's an abbreviation. Uh... nevermind.

holly_carroll February 26 2009, 22:54:42 UTC

What's it an abbreviation for? *is curious*

alliyachatari February 27 2009, 00:28:00 UTC

Okay, um... not to be too rude or anything, but I DO recognize that abbreviation and isn't using a book like that to teach students kind of... criminally irresponsible?

smashingrequiem February 27 2009, 00:56:37 UTC

Let's remember who the professor is - a criminal. So please define 'criminal irresponsibility' again in this case?

alliyachatari February 27 2009, 01:04:18 UTC

... I guess you have a fair point there. Well, how criminally irresponsible is it to use a book that's basically saturated with evil to teach students? And by 'saturated with evil', I mean that this book is one of the darkest, most vile, evil books out there.

thuvos February 27 2009, 01:36:52 UTC

Lots evil book? Me have a few those, they bound keeps others out, safety.

It worse than The Book of Ebon Bindings?

alliyachatari February 27 2009, 11:06:42 UTC

I'm afraid I don't recognize that particular one.

polymagic_ash February 27 2009, 14:05:22 UTC

It's about on the same level.

polymagic_ash February 27 2009, 14:06:59 UTC

Not bringing whatever book I learn the spell from out into the classroom. Just teaching the spell. For one thing, exposing students to evil forces violates my parole spell, so I literally can't do it.

polymagic_ash February 27 2009, 14:04:50 UTC

That's why I preferred the other one. I was only looking for a particular spell, but remember, I received my degree at a Dark Arts college. It's not the spells you learn, and it's not the books you learn them from. It's what you use them for.

Using necromantic magic to discover which students have been transformed into helpless animals against their will and rescue them, for instance, is a fine use of that spell. Locating objects that have souls in them to target for desecration is an evil use of the spell, and the reason it was invented. But we don't have to put things to their intended uses.

thuvos February 27 2009, 15:03:12 UTC

Need spell do see souls?
Uhh. Might have thats somewhere, no sure what book would in be. Me know have way track soul, find out who reincarnated as. Could check all me library try finds, but that take while, and me has school work do.

Uhh.

There way compare squirrel other squirrel to, see who different?

polymagic_ash February 27 2009, 15:10:03 UTC

It's possible there's a divination or other school of magic spell, but necromancy's the only thing I'm sufficiently advanced in to be useful in this investigation. At least, I don't see any way to use fire for it.

smashingrequiem February 27 2009, 17:30:11 UTC

There are divination spells and more mundane ways to track to see who is a transformed student and who isn't.

I have some... experience in the matter, so again, my assistance is offered.

polymagic_ash February 27 2009, 17:43:39 UTC

What do you have in mind?
