Today’s assignment is a simple hex, but one that has been used to devastating effect for centuries.  It has gotten many a witch burned at the stake ,too. So please be careful and only apply the effects in a beneficial way.” Miranda Crane, instructor of Hexology, said her voice crisp and clear managing to cut through the pre-class chatter without seeming forceful or loud.<br/><br/>She looked out over the incoming occult studies class and wondered what adventures awaited them over the next four years.  Some classes were studious and diligent, others chaotic and wild and many filled with delights that she could never have imaged would be a part of her teaching experience.  A gentle smile touched her lips as she waited for the last of the conversions to end.<br/><br/>“I like to call this a cosmetic hex. In the past it was used to cause warts and blemishes, but it can also offer some incredible functionality. Many of you already have practice in this sort of incantation I am sure.” Miranda said before taking a moment to center herself.<br/><br/>She spoke an incantation and her raven black hair turned snowy white, then brilliant pink and back to her natural black. “So much nicer than a salon.” She said with a rueful smile and proceed to speak another incantation in Latin.  The color of her hair changed again, only this time in reverse order.<br/><br/>“Now as we discussed yesterday.  There are many spells, potions and salves that can achieve similar effects.  Incantations have as much to do with intent as they do with words. Which is why different cultures have different incantations, but can achieve much the same thing. It is the Universiality of Magic.  We will learn more about that later. Your homework was to find a spell from an unfamiliar culture and one not in a language you speak fluently. We are going to try to cast those today.” Miranda loved this lesson.  Language wasn’t just words.  Language influenced the way you thought.  If your will and intent didn’t match the words your spell would fail.  The lessons complexity wasn’t in pronunciation.  It was in placing the precise right words with the precise right intent.  This should be fun.<br/><br/>“You can pair up or work in groups if you like.  Practice casting the spell on yourself and on your partners.  Be careful to note the change in words or structure when you switch to casting on others.  I can answer any questions you might have or correct any spells that might to awry.
