In Linda Chapman’s “Unicorn School” series of books, that would have gotten Marigold an “F” in the charms class (Damaris, the charms teacher, taught her students about both charms and curses [including creating charms], but only—as she told the class sternly—so that they would know how to avoid curses, which were also contagious by touch). Not having parents, maybe Marigold was home-schooled by her aunt (the one who gave her the large invisible thing that she occasionally misplaces). I have no idea how one could have an aunt but no parents, but I’m sure that “Unicorn!” explains it… :-)
