After seven throws we’ll be able to study the pattern of floor-markings to determine something interesting about your personal future. Yes, yes, zombie students will have a little difficulty with the manual dexterity portion of the lesson, but then the consequences aren’t so bad for them either, are they? Please keep the duct tape handy.

Josh: he/they
I enter the room and screech at an incredibly high pitch. It’s a complete disaster, and everyone suffers as a result of my disrupting actions.
Josh: he/they
I drink my Potion of Fast Learning and Temporary Haunting to scootle out. So long, suckers!
Josh: he/they
Oh c’mon ^_^
Don’t bother, it just means the former class action wasn’t valid. I’ll do it right this time :)
Josh: he/they
It leaves my own exit in a bit of limbo, though. Seeing as how I cast the spell while I hadn’t made a class action on this class, presumably it had no effect whatsoever, which is very annoying.
Purplebeard:
I was just going to point that out. Quick, everyone disrupt this Lesson!
No wait, don’t. I’m in it.
Josh: he/they
AHA!
Fortunately I cast that spell illegally too, as I didn’t do the Explosive Language check. So I’m going to do that, then recast the spell, and hopefully be outtahere.

William:
Studying, because I can’t be bothered applying all the gndt changes required by a disruption.
Purplebeard:
I don’t think it works that way, Josh. The Explosive Language check isn’t a requirement for casting a spell, it is a result of it.
Josh: he/they
I think that’s debatable. If it were the case that EL was a separate action rather than an integral part of the process then the casting of the spell would be unaffected by Explosive Language; but the success of casting the spell is actually contingent on the Explosive Language check being passed (“If an accident occurs, the spell fails” - not reverted, fails).
Naturally happy to see a CfJ over it though.
Greytyphoon:
I agree with Purplebeard. ^^
Also, I had thought about this situation before proposing the potion. “If the Targeted Student was in a class that has not ended when the spell is cast,” means that it has no effect on you if you weren’t. =)
Josh: he/they
Yeah, we get that GT - we’re arguing over my actual casting of the spell is legal, not its effect.
Greytyphoon:
As your LAT check was successful (I checked your roll in the GNDT), you casted the spell before going to class. It has no effect.
So, you are still in this class and will not be free until it ends.
Also, if others have something to say about this, we should call a CfJ, because:
1- We’re polluting this thread. ^^
2- The Headmaster may, at his discretion, give grudge to those who post non-class-action comments. =/
Josh: he/they
I already get a grudge so it doesn’t matter to me :D
If you check the time, the LAT check was made well after the event. By enacting the effects of the spell before making the LAT check I conducted an illegal action (I “must” do the LAT check or else the spell fails), therefore the spell itself is illegal.
Instead of reverting it and redoing it, I simply rolled the LAT roll, but that applies to the second iteration of the casting (i.e. the one that occurred after I successfully disrupted the class). Therefore it was legal and I am free to go.
Roujo: he/him
Studying among the mayhem and conversations.
Also, I agree with Josh on this one. Failing to meet a requirement doesn’t make an action happen but fail, it prevents it from happening in the first place.
Purplebeard:
I think we’re all agreed on that point, Roujo, but I don’t think the LAT check is a requirement for casting a spell. If the rules said “to cast a spell, roll blah” I’d agree with Josh’s interpretation, but with the wording of “Whenever a Student casts a Spell,” it looks like an effect of the action to me. Just because Josh neglected to resolve all the effects of his casting doesn’t mean the casting itself is void.
Klisz:
Studying, unless I’m studying something else and didn’t realize it.
