Plus the fact you could use it then keep your wand free for other things. Anyway, moving on.
Walking to the table behind her desk, Isabelle took a deep breath and picked up one of the many boxes. "In here I have a range of watches - wrist ones, pockets ones, big, small. I'll pass them out to you all then we can concentrate on getting the incantation correct, along with the wand movement." Placing the box down on her desk, Issy lazily flicked her wand and watch after watch made it's way to a students desk. "Once you have had a chance to get the feel of your watch, you can try the proper pronunciation of the spell. WITHOUT wands first." She emphasised that bit. Didn't wand them to blow something up because they didn't do the right wand movement.
"Alright everyone. The incantation for this spell, as you can see on the board, is Comletia, and it is pronounced thus: Com-LET-e-AH. Have a go at getting that right, then we'll move to wands."
Kurumi frowned for a moment. No Incarcifors? Did that mean that they were going to practice it another day? Personally, Kurumi wasn't sure that many non-magical people these days were still using compasses. Sure, people and cars still needed to know where they were going, but using navigational instrument for determining direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles, well, it just didn't seem like it was the first thing that she would want telling her where to go. Her cellphone had a special GPS thing in it that she just pushed a button and it gave her a map of where she was at. Then again, if there was no signal...she supposed that having a compass would be helpful.

Kurumi picked up
the watch that was handed to her and laughed slightly. It reminded her of a TV program that her father used to watch that involved aliens and exploring strange new worlds. Seeking out new life and new civilizations. It was kind of nice to find a small comfort that reminded her of the father that she knew - not the man that she had found in a library book. Holding the watch in her hand, Kurumi pretended like she was holding her wand in her wand hand, when the reality was that it was still in her wand holster in her robe's pocket. "
Comletia," she said in as clear a voice as she could while she pretended to give her wand a wish and flick.
"
Professor, will the compasses that we transfigure compensate for magnetic inclination?"
