That's what my friends and I are working on finding out! Okay, at our school, they teach us spells with long incantations that conform to the basic elements and some unaligned, although Amrit and Hazel are pretty sure some of the "unaligned" ones are life and they just don't want to tell us because life magic isn't allowed, but that's a whole other story. But the Arcanology Club -- name pending, a couple of us think Banes of Destiny is cooler -- found out that you can actually just use the building blocks of the sounds instead of speak the whole spell! If Hazel were here, she'd give this whole winding explanation. But I guess you actually just asked what we can do, so the answer to that is that the sky feels like pretty much the limit right now.
