Underground Chamber

So you're apparently helping a witch cast a spell to free some student witches from a spell they accidentally cast on themselves. Could this day get any weirder! The only thing you can do is what you do best - examine the evidence, look for clues, and solve the mystery.

Hints

Each hint incurs a 1-minute time penalty. Final answer incurs a 24-minute time penalty.

Hint #1

Laveau's inversions haven't been working. Maybe she is trying to reverse the wrong spell.

Hint #2

The students' earlier communications suggest they were trying to cast Umbrae. Their current state suggests they made a mistake.

Hint #3

It's probably best to recreate the students' botched spell before trying to invert it. Don't worry - you're an ordinary. You won't have enough magical power to actually cast a spell - botched or otherwise!

Hint #4

From Introducatory Spellcraft, you know that the Earth token must be placed in the bottom crux of the pentagram to cast Umbrae.

Hint #5

Anna listed the correct adjacent elements in her sketchbook, but she seemed uncertain about alignmnet.

Hint #6

No spell will work if the tokens in the oppositional cruxes aren't aligned. The tokens below are aligned because the green facets are facing each other.

Hint #7

The Altar Guide gives a stern warning of the consequences of not having the two adjacent tokens align with the token in the key position. Spirit and Air are each aligned with Earth below. Air shares a red facet with Earth, and Spirit shares a blue facet with Earth.

Hint #8

The students had Spirit and Air swapped, which caused the reflection that trapped them. To recreate that spell, you much swap Spirit and Air so they a NOT aligned with Earth (while keeping Fire and Water aligned with each other)

Hint #9

The Rituals book shows you how to invert or reverse a spell. Just swap the left side top and bottom elements, and do the same for the right side, not worrying about alighment anywhere on the board.

Answer

If all the tokens are in the correct positions when you light the candle, you should see the code appear above the altar: 1214

Three students are floating, inches above the ground. Upright, but in some sort of stasis. You recognize one as Anna. The other two are possibly her friends, Ravi and Tatiana.
