[edit] Thaum unit and conjuration duration
How long do three billiard balls or one small white pigeon last if conjured at an expenditure of exactly 1 thaum? NeonMerlin 02:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

- I believe in our dimension he would be Dr. Rjinswand, but yes, the Arch-chancellor would appreciate it if you did your own homework. Beekone 16:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think the billiard balls or the pigeon would dissappear once conjured. The magic (which works like physics do here) stipulate that by bringing those things here you had to either send something of equal mass to their original sopt or move the entire universe over, up, aside however far to get to them... which could have dire consequences and may only be possible if you have on of the most powerful known spells ever created hiding in your head. Even then you'd have to put yourself into a situation that the spell would have to go into self preservation mode and say itself. It's entertainingly complicated.
