"As Kurumi so very nearly got, we are going to conjure something to use for animal capture, smaller animals anyway." Hence the stuffed ones that were no bigger than a bunny. "It's not a cage per say, at least not to start with, and it doesn't hurt them. The spell you will be learning conjures a net, which when it touches the ground, hardens to form a cage, or a trap of sorts. Those of you that are more skilled..." Yes, sixth and seventh years I'm looking at you. "...might even be able to manage ones with doors in them. For easier access."
Turning her wand on the blackboard, Isabelle flicked it and the chalk started scribbling a word:
"Now, this is pronounced thus 'In-car-SOL-vo', and the wand movement is a simple jab in the direction of whatever you wish to trap - in your case the stuffed animals." For now. "Let me demonstrate." Isabelle wandered over to the nearest student and gave them a smile, before nabbing their toy. Rolling her sleeves back, she placed it on the ground in front of her, and took a level stance. In reality the thing would be moving, so a firm base was always a good start. Pointing her wand at the animal, she jabbed it forward while saying the spell. "Incarcolvo!" A black mesh erupted from the end of her wand and headed in the toy's direction, momentarily covering it completely. But within seconds it had sprung up and gone stiff, leaving the animal with room to move around inside - if it could have moved.
Turning back to the kids, she grinned. "Now it's your turn. Please practise saying the spell on it's own first, then the wand movement, then put the two together. You may stand as well, if you feel it would help you. And don't forget to ask for help from me, or the older students, if you need it."
Luin nodded to the teacher and then listened to the description of this next spell. Okay, interesting. She thought about it for awhile. This was going to be a bit more difficult to get than the rest of the spells so far. She started with the incantation, as instructed "In...car..sol..vo" "In-car-sol-vo" ok "Incarsolvo!" ok, that seemed good enough. She then started on the wand movement, jabbing her wand forward, hm..seemed simple enough. She saw the teacher's stance and wondered if she should assume it as well. She shrugged, maybe later?? She then started trying the spell, setting the stuffed animal up in front of her, "Incarsolvo!" jab....there was a brief yellow spark from the wand and nothing. She frowned, then tried again...."Incarsolvo!" jab...a net formed and then fell apart before it landed.
After a lot more practice she managed to form a net and get it to stay on the stuffed animal. She looked around, this sure was a tough spell, she wasn't sure if she had it down perfectly though.
