Judging From The Fall;; Private

Though she'd never directly said anything to Lavender herself, Manya's interest in the girl's predicament and the pendant which could not be removed sparked some curiosity in the teacher. The classroom was empty in light of the current lunch-break so Manya took the opportunity to look through some additional sections of the book she'd borrowed from the library. She'd been doing a lot of this lately, mostly out of self motivated interest but this one was slightly different to the regular. She'd opted to search through more vague texts after the student mentioned how irremovable her pendant was. She suspected Lavender hadn't yet done this sort of research and thus began secretly trying to find answers that might help point Lavender in the right direction.

The tomb she'd picked up this time was littered with Manya's own bookmarks. "Enchantments: Curses & Cursed Items" It was another of the volume series Lavender had been looking at but unlike the others this one wasn't labeled with a number. In fact identifying the book as part of the series was a bit tricky unless one actually read its contents as it made references to the other volumes within its pages. "Here it is!" Manya whispered to herself in excitement. "While the aim of most curses is to cause harm upon another some are less than violent in their nature, proving instead to be useful to the one they afflict." Useful curse... Manya tilted her head at the notion. Whoever the author of this book was they were clearly of a different mindset than most of the modern world... But despite her disagreement with the writing Manya continued reading. "Binding curses can be used both offensively and defensively but they have a third application as well which is made manifest when the Curse is instead laid upon an item of value. An item enchanted with this curse binds itself to the first person to don the item whereupon the enchanted item then can no longer be removed from the afflicted's person by any means." Interesting. Manya slapped a red bookmark into the page, flipping to another section. "Enchanted curses cannot be removed from an item once imbued, however there do exist a means in which one may temporarily suppress the binding nature of an enchanted curse... (See Countermagic Spells: Volume 4)" Manya sighed in defeat... so it detailed the what but... the means for helping Lavender was likely in an entirely different book after all... But at least this information could be useful. If lavender's pendant were actually cursed then it fully explained why it couldn't just be removed. Marking this page as well Manya lowered the mask over face and made her way to the library. She'd noticed Lavender there quite often lately during the lunch break and not just after school. Perhaps she could pass on this book and what information she'd found to the girl to aid in her search for answers.
