((Just a brief note before this continues too far.  Valarinth had cut off Caludar's access to magic when he was in her office...so he shouldn't be able to cast any spells just now, just the natural abilities that a spirit possessing a body would have.  Valarinth's spell was a targeted spell so it would seek out Caludar's spiritual force and the source of his magic.  Caludar's spirit would need to be able to cast magic before it could cast a spell, despite what body it ended up in.  Another thing to note is that you wouldn't have learned about life and spirit transmutation magic yet since you've only just entered second year.  You'd only have the ability to change the shape and size of objects, not create a new body from mist, that's end level third year stuff, meaning Sinala and the teachers would be the only ones capable of such a thing just yet.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>elitadraconia wrote:</cite>"Now Caludar, where were we...oh yes, your punishment!"  She sighed, shrinking Caludar until he was only a few inches tall and sealing off his ability to use magic.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>You also mentioned yourself that he'd be unable to use magic until he returned to<span style="font-weight: bold">his own</span>body.  Just had another player complain about it so I thought it should be addressed and corrected.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Darkness_Immemorial wrote:</cite>Eventually, his spirit travelled back to the mortal world, barely more than a ghost, invisible, unable to interact with anything and unable to channel magic until he could return to his body.</div></blockquote><br/><br/>You could say that you got another student to help you (most likely a naiive student in advanced studies).  They'd have to cast the spell though and you still wouldn't have access to your magic because of the sealing spell.))
