A Line of Vigor will bounce off of a Line of Forbiddance. However, a Line of Forbiddance can only sustain about 10 Line of Vigor hits before it is destroyed.{{book ref|rithmatist|11}}
The material that a Line of Forbiddance is drawn on can affect its stability (e.g., more durable surfaces form stronger lines
Lines of Forbiddance are weakest at the corners if they are joined together
=== Line of Vigor ===
[[File: Line of Vigor.svg|thumb|300px]]
Lines of Vigor are one of the main offensive Rithmatic lines. It is drawn in the shape of a [[Wikipedia:sine wave|sine wave]], from the outside in. As long as it completes two intervals it will shoot out until it reaches an obstacle. Most chalklings are easily destroyed by Lines of Vigor. If it reaches a Line of Warding it will create a pockmark, if enough hit the same point then the line could be breached.{{ref|name=linesofvigorpartone}} Lines of Vigor reflect off of Lines of Forbiddance.{{ref|name=bouncingvigor}} The strength of a Line of Vigor is based on how large the curve of their wave is. A tighter curve, that puts the same amount of lines in a smaller area is harder to draw, but stronger, than one that has a longer wave.{{ref|name=linestrengths}}
Lines of Vigor generally behave like light waves{{wob ref|3155}}: they will reflect off of Lines of Forbiddance and refract upon change of medium. Higher frequency Lines are better at penetrating, while lower frequency Lines are better at energy transfer (i.e. displacing Lines of Warding).

It is mentioned that there was a movement on some of the Isles to open smaller schools on every Isle. The Rithmatic academies felt that this would lead to disunity and widely varied teaching styles, which would be detrimental to unity in [[Tower of Nebrask|Nebrask]].{{book ref|Rithmatist|17}}
=== Rithmatic Professors ===
=== Rithmatic Students ===
Rithmatic students wear grey sweaters. Boys wear white slacks and girls wear white skirts.{{book ref|Rithmatist|1}} Kneepads are often worn for they need to kneel and draw chalks.{{
