1. Spells I've learned on my own
2. Spells I've mastered in classes
Based on my current understanding, if I am outside of our classrooms, I cannot use 3.) the spells I am currently learning in classes, but I can use 1.) spells I've learned on my own and 2.) b.) i.) spells I've mastered, use daily, and do not expect to need to revise. 2.) b.) ii.) , 2.) a.) i.), and 2.) a.) ii.) are a bit more complicated. See below.
School Approved Project Exception: I can use 1.), 2.), and 3.) for school-approved projects that have been approved by the Headmistress. This includes things like the Memorial Garden. I am assuming that it includes the Revue until I hear otherwise.
Exception to School Approved Project Exception: The exception for approved groups does not apply to revision groups, even if they have been approved, because Madame Umbridge has stated she wishes us to use theory only while we are in any revising groups. While in the process of revision in revising groups, no spells are to be cast.
Category 2 clarification: So the above would mean that I cannot use the spells listed in 2.) a.) i.) and ii.) while I'm revising in a group, but if I happened to need to use them during the course of my normal day, I might be able to under the clarification given by Madame Umbridge that mastered spells that we use daily do not count. 2.) a.) i.) was stated as acceptable, but 2.) a.) ii.) may need further clarification. Unsure as well about 2.) b.) ii.), as those spell categories are mastered, not revised, but not in daily use.
Note: Clarify spells mastered but not in daily use?
Possible Exception to Exception Exception: We are only supposed to use theory while in our 'revising groups', and not engage in magic as per the exact language of the Decree 25. And we can only meet regularly in groups of three or more students if we have approval by the Headmistress as per Decree 23. So it may be possible that students may spontaneously gather and use magic for purposes of revision if they do not meet regularly, as they would not be classified as a 'revising group', or, for example, two students forming a non-group (as groups are three or more) could possibly use magic during revision, or one student may possibly use magic during revision in isolation. However, I am not sure, as this involves overlapping decrees.
Note: Clarify spontaneous multiple participant magic use, groups of two, single person.
Updated March 20th.
Additional thought: Spells learned independently but could potentially be tested over later? Possibly rare, some distinct exceptions. Think further about. See if clarification needed.
