"Comletia, comletia, comletia," Ellie practiced the incantation with the wand movement. It totally made sense, a circle- like a compass, with a cross- like the four points, and then a jab at the object. Simple, easy to remember. She felt that the incantation was odd, though. She'd just have to remember 'COMletia', 'COMpass'. Eh...

Now, onto the wrist watch on her desk.

"Comletia," up/down, left/right, circle, jab.

The watch...looked like... Heh. She wasn't exactly sure. But it definitely wasn't a watch, and it definitely wasn't a compass. "Reverto."

Okay, so... Watch. Up/down, left/right, circle, jab, "Comletia."

No. Ugh. It would be so much easier if the stupid band wasn't there. Why did she never learn a severing charm, huh? She'd just cut the band off, and she'd probably get the spell right in one go.

Looking around, she saw how Jake's compass had a chain. Maybe.... Maybe that's what she could do? Instead of willing the band away, just...make it part of the compass.

Okay, so, the band will be a chain. A silvery, linky, one.

Up/down, left/right, circle, jab, "Comletia." She said this with much more forcefulness.

Gahhh. Dumb watch. "Reverto."

Ellie watched as other people moved on to something that looked like it could possibly be fun. But here she was, stuck with a stupid watch. She glanced at Spike to see how he was doing.

Once more? "Comletia," Up,down, left,right, circle, jab.

Deformed watch. It still had twelve lines, though it had one needle. And that dumb band was still there.

"Comletia!" up,down, left,right, circle, JAB.

Ellie picked it up to examine it. It had the band, still. It had about 9 marks on the face... But it had one needle. And as she turned it, it seemed to work alright.

Whatever. It was good enough for her.
