Locked to the Safehouses
Happy belated Haloween!
Yes, Atkins, you were the only one who noticed my robes and ears were a bit different that evening. You can stop calling me Spock now, please.
In unrelated queries - does anyone have any spare moisturiser? I've been bathing in it, damn near run out. I can offer chill-chocolate in exchange.

It sounds as though you have been working very hard on this. I would be interested to see the results.
Propellant with non-magical means, this would be perhaps, like a catapult?
You want something of similar density and resistance as muscle tissue.
There is not a spell that I can think of that would easily simulate this. I am assuming you do not intend to practise necromancy?
Just a small joke.
Could something could be transfigured? Some fruit, perhaps.
Or, for more accuracy, there are plenty of sheep. They must be slaughtered at some point, the meat for the dining table has to come from somewhere.
Exploding sheep. Nice, Visconti. If this gets out nobody will ever believe that I've given up Dark Arts.
It is all going to go horribly wrong isn't it?
Also, please don't mention this to MacMillan. He already has some very strange ideas about sheep.
And chickens.

At the moment, for 'non-magical means' read 'throwing, or use of the novelty bow and arrow Diane has had since before she'd hit double digits'. Both have merit: a piercing action inserts the charmed arrow into the target - meaning the axis of spell activation which is a bit problematic is less important as it will hit something; and the throwing action -
- have you heard of grenades? They're a Muggle weapon, a handheld (and thrown) type of bomb, where the shrapnel does more damage than the actual explosion, for the most part. Since the use of stones as item[x] seems to lead to them exploding a lot, if the charm can be incorporated all the way through the stone, then the result is dessicating shrapnel moving very rapidly in different directions. So the piercing aspect is relevant again.
They are easily shielded against by object-repellers, but the bits move fast, so unless the shield was up first there's a ( ... )

As for the sheep - despite what you might have heard, I am not a sadist, Miss Archer. I was thinking more about using sheep that were already dead for the experiment. To see what would happen if you used this on flesh. I think the results might be very messy. Possibly explosive?
I have heard of muggle explosive weapons, though I did not know that they were called grenades.
Perhaps this weapon could be dropped from a height and targetted that way? I am thinking from a broom. Or would this affect the person who was carrying it?
I must ask you this. It is possible that you are working on something very powerful here. I can see possibly this being used as a weapon against other witches and wizards?
How does that make you feel?

I've got rather a lot of moisturiser and various lotions from testing my sister's experimental cosmetic enterprise... certainly far more than I could ever use. You're more than welcome to at least half of them. Shall I bring them in?

There are more TeeVee watchers in here than I'd thought.
