Isabelle smiled at the girl, before flicking her wand out again and resting her free hand across her knees. "Now, basically, this spell will turn anything made of card or paper into a pair of shoes or boots - depending on how you imagine it to go. It's very simple as regards wand movement, just a tap on the target object. And as you are making a pair of shoes, you need to tap once on each plate, like so." She showed them what she meant without actually doing the spell yet, just so they got it.

Looking up, she nodded to make sure they understood before launching into the actual spell itself. "You only have one word to worry about this time, 'Pedestis'. So if I wanted another pair of shoes like the ones I have on, I'd go like so..." Issy aimed her wand at the plates and very gently tapped each one while saying the incantation at the same time. "Pedestis!" Slowly the plates began to narrow and gain in height, changing colour to the black she was wearing, before separating into a different colour for the soles. "Simple really. And as I said, design is based solely on what your mind can create for you. Don't limit yourself to something easy if you don't want to. Zips and buckles will always be harder, as with the clothes, due to their metalic content. Now, are there any questions before we start? If you don't have any, and feel confident enough, give the wand movement and incantation a go, then start on the plates."

So...shoes. They really were going to be transfiguring shoes and she just needed to suck it up and get it done - along with stopping all the scratching of her arms. She wasn't going to be able to perform any spells properly if she kept scratching, which was really the only incentive she had to cease said scratching. Easier said than done though, especially with Milton flashing her knowing smirks and all that.

Wand out, Kurumi watched and slowly mimicked Professor Magnus' movement. Just a tap? At least the wand movement wasn't painfully drawn out and long. Tap each plate and say the incantation. Simple enough. "Pedestis....Pedestis....Pedestis....."
