Charms Class OOC Questions

That was the homework for my report card, but am I supposed to write 300-word each for Mending Charm and the Dancing Feet Spell? Or am I supposed to do 300 words for both of them COMBINED?

Can I use the examples stated in the lesson or do I have to find new examples? As it's worth five points, and the explanation in the lesson is rather short, I'm not really sure what I should answer. Especially as the word count minimum is 50+ words and the explanation only 23 words.
Thank you!
@Zoë Fresnel and anyone else who could help!

It does not say that you should find other creatures not mentioned, so you can use the ones in the lesson. I promise you, the two examples you can use are in the lesson. (hence why it says (2 creatures))

You could give a reason why you use lumos on them or why it scares them (I mean, whatever works, as long as the info is accurate)

Yes, you can do that but also the spell list is here

Y2 L1
One of the questions is:
2. Name three practitioners of this spell and state what year and why they had to use the spell. (If more than one practitioner is using the spell in the same situation, choose someone else.) /10pt

What is exactly meant by a practitioner? A famous witch / wizard who is known to have used this spell? If so, I am unsure how we would know IC the usages listed on the wiki.

Do you want us to make them up?
For instance something like - 'Flavius Belby used this spell in 1784 to dispel a snowflake creating charm that was cast in his office as a practical joke.'

Hello love!

@Theo Vendeberg

For this question, yes I mean famous witches/wizards who have used this spell (which can be found in the wiki) as for the IC reason your character may know these is you can feel free to say you heard them in the lecture but it is not required for the question.

If you make them up you will get it wrong so I suggest pulling examples from the wiki just make sure not to take it word for word as that will be marked for plagiarism

Hope this helps!
