[X] Avifors (Deep Understanding) – Transfiguration. A transforming spell that could be used to change the target into a bird, flock of birds or occasionally a flock of bats with a vivid flash of blue light. Transforms the targeted object into a bird, which can then be used to carry a small object or message to someone. With the deep understand you have gained, it is possible for you to guide the birds with new orders, even after having cast the spell.

[X] Shoes, I want Shoes – While you do not own a broom, it is a practical thing to conquer the sky's. Try to start the process of enchanting your shoes with the help of Nicolas. You will not be able to soar and fly through the sky, but to step on it as if on ground. This will open up many new possibilities for you. (Add new Alchemy Idea 'Talaria' to your Notebook.)

[X] Expelliarmus (Deep Understanding) - DADA. The Disarming Charm, is a defensive spell which forces the victim to release whatever they were holding at the time. It is common to see this spell used in duels, to make an opponent release their wand. Only for those with a deep understanding is it possible to throw the enemy back at the same time.

[X] An old Idea of a Map – You had the idea of creating a Map of Hogwarts to track the hidden secrets you uncovered and reveal the people that move on its ground. With a mind as great as Nicolas, you can try to start this project earlier than you had planned out. (Lower the DC from 400 to 100.)
 
Just imagine getting attacked by a flock of birds à la Hitchcock when suddenly some of them get transfigured into daggers midflight heading straight for you from all directions. :o

Fuckit, I'm convinced, let's take Avifors. Too multipurpose to pass up on.

[X] Avifors (Deep Understanding)
[X] Gloves, I want Gloves

I'll still go for the gloves, though, because a safety net is important to have. Constant Vigilance only gets you so far.
 
I don't really have a preference for the alchemy project, I think there are good arguments for either. I'm mostly glad we got to spend some time with the two of them.

[X] Avifors (Deep Understanding)
I just think it's a cooler effect.
 
What's up with the popularity of shoes ? What utility do they have that an old broom can't do ?

Why is it a better choice over a literal life saving equipment ?
 
[X] Reparo (Deep Understanding) Charm. The Mending Charm, also known as the Repairing Charm, is a charm that can be used to seamlessly repair a broken object and works on most materials. This useful charm was invented by Orabella Nuttley, in or before 1754. There aren't many things with too heavy a damage or that are simply too large for you to not be able to repair them as swift as a blink of the eye by now.

[X] Gloves, I want Gloves – You have many plans of doing things that may be dangerous, and while you are no one to recoil from simple risks like that, it may be wise to get one measure security before that happens. While it may be too much to aim for eternal defenses, it should be possible to create something that can guard you once from a spell, a venom or a similar direct attack that would otherwise kill or maim you.

It's like an insurance for something terrible. You only use/need it in the worst possible instance and even then you might get screwed to an extent.

The shoes can be used anywhere anytime for whatever things we want.

Remember the Weasley twins' shield charm hat/cloak/whatevers? Those should be what those gloves are.

On the other hand, I'm not sure that there have ever been shoes that can walk on air in Harry Potter.

You know, we could also give them as a gift.

On the other hand, with all the dangers Jacob seems to run into then gloves seem more prudent to enjoy a long life.

Avifors because I want to continue getting deep understanding of transfiguration.

A very good, very efficient spell that will end a fight definitively for those not expecting it. With a deep understanding, it turns from a good tool into a great one. Sure, it's not as creative, but we have plenty of other creative options and having a simple one to fall back on never hurts when creativity is not enough. Also, if this unlocks the spell for us then it grants us a spell with a DC of 100 we have yet to start on as well as a deep understanding of it.

Again, and I just want to preface this. The gloves will ignore one lethal blow. While the shoes may be more useful overall at the moment there is nothing stopping us from coming up with something like them in the future or using a broom. Can we use them in combat? I am not quite sure, but when it comes to the gloves they are a necessary precaution when we fight in duels way outside our weight class. No matter what rank or skill level we eventually reach as a duelist they will always be useful. Say we crit fail a defense roll, in which case no amount of skill is going to stop that from striking us. That is of course if we did not have the gloves. We can stay on our feet longer and fight against stronger opponents without fear of instadeath from a dark wizard. We get them, we get insurance for every single duel we may face. We get the boots, and sure, we get some more exploration options, but nothing that can't be done with other spells or items that I believe will take less effort than a dedicated item.

Also, just to add to my reasoning for gloves again, we can perhaps make them for other people. Which I have no doubt will help as the story progresses. I am not trying to fear monger by stating that bad things will happen or that we will not have a fighting chance against these threats, but getting insurance for ourselves and potentially our friends seems to be the most practical and efficient long term option.

That and I kinda want to develop more spell armor, though that's just me. That and I like the Norse symbolism Járnglófarm, just gotta get the magic belt and hammer and we can complete the set.
