Going Against the Grain of Potter Cliches

If it is an extension to Unified Field Theory, then it's just physics, and that's taught to above-average 16-year-olds all the time.  In a decent introductory physics course, you get lots of equations that can be used to do a variety of useful calculations without absurd levels of mathematics.  Thus, Hermione would probably understand it at a high enough level to make some
small modifications to existing spells and see the broad outline of the theory.  After all, the woman actually likes maths and solving intellectual puzzles, so I could see magical theory as being an obsession of hers for the year.
Perhaps she'd even to attempt alternate spellcasting schema.  Wandless casting, alchemy circles, Clow cards, henshin pens... okay maybe Sailor Hermione is a bad idea.  I should probably go to bed before I start giving her black roses or Jusenkyo curses or something.
