[quote=@Ciphra] As for this whole charm business...I'm kinda on the side of it's absurd that they used it in that circumstance, but also I believe it's definitely not just something that you can just be like 'Oh yeah I'm just going to casually learn this!' If you look back on when anyone was ever taught this they were always told how difficult and not simple it was to learn, some even saying that it might not be possible if I remember correctly (Been a long time...) so that's my two cents into this little topic, so my vote is no for it unless you get a professor to teach it to your character or something? I don't know, but still the way it was introduced into the RP I won't lie kinda ticked me off... [/quote] I am sorry but I have to agree as well, Ms. McGonagall even could't learn how to send messages with her Patronus charm and had to have Dumbledor to teach her how to even sent messages with the charm, which pretty much proved that not only the charm was difficult to use but that other uses of the spell like leaving a simple message were even harder. Sure regular casting of the charm to ward off dementors and leithfoid sure! Leaving messages with Patronus charm...yeah give it several more years. But she obviously had the skill as she could successfully summon not one, or two but three of them at the same time I believe and had the help of Dumbledor to teach her. So yeah >.> (Edit: Did I mention she did it 'WORDLESSLY' omg she too cool *dies*)
