Raising her wand, she slowly demonstrated the wand movement, rolling the wand between her fingertips while flicking up with her wrist. Though it was one of those ones where practice really was necessary.

"I suggest you all practice the wand movement the most until you are comfortable with it. Nothing vastly dangerous will happen if you misspeak the incantation." Another perk of the spell. "When you're ready, you may begin. We will be starting the duels shortly, so use your time wisely. If you have any questions, or need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Impiriano" she said and made a tight circle then a flick of the wrist with her wand. A weak blue film of a shield twinged around part of her and flickered out. These wand movements aren't so easy, are they? She listened to Professor Romanos describe their next spell. Especially the next one. She practiced the tight circle and the small flick again before casting. I seem to keep flicking upwards, I hope that's okay... She decided to try it one more time before moving on. Impiriano!" Circle, flick, shield. Bada bing bada boom. But, is it working? She was on the inside of the shield so how could she be sure? We'll probably be using them later when we duel. Impiriano for physical attacks, and the other for magical.

Loricatus...lor-ih-kay-tuss. "Loricatus," she said aloud before trying the movement. All right, now for this weird...rolling wand between fingers thing. I hope I don't drop it. She twisted and rolled her wand on her fingers like she was turning a tiny doorknob in them. Starting slowly, she twisted back and forth to get used to it, then added the flick. Just one flick up though, and simultaneously so... She twisted and let the flick happen as she did so. She ended up twisting while her wand moved upwards which made her whole hand curve up and to the left a little bit. Does it matter which direction you roll? Probably not or she would have said... But still, maybe I should ask.

Mmhmm, she glanced around the room to a few people. "You may start partnering up for you duels. Someone from your own year or close to it please. Before you begin though, there's a few rules I want you to follow."

"When starting, remember to bow to your opponent before turning and taking five steps in the opposite direction. It's not hard. You won't kill your back doing so..." Just do it! "Also, I'll be giving you guys almost free range on what spells you can use or what you know, BUT, anything aimed to physically harm your opponent and you may find yourself in detention faster than you can blink. No jelly-brain or finger-removing jinxes, knee reversal hexes, conjunctivitis curses... I'm quite certain you all have the common sense to know which spells to avoid. IF you are feeling uncertain however, you may come up here, and I'll give you a list of spells only to use. Alright?"

Medea paused for a moment before continuing. "You may use either of the shield charms you've learned today as well as Protego. There will be no physical contact between opponents, spells only. You may not aid in another's duel, and with that in mind, do try to keep an eye on just where you are. You don't want to be in the crossfire of another duel. So, please, spread out as much you can. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask, or if you are having trouble finding a partner, come up to the front and I'll help you find one. Off you go."

Oh but it's time to start already. Shoot I hope I can think straight enough to remember some spells to use! She looked around the room, hoping to find someone who'd be semi-easy to practice with.

She walked over to Laura, who seemed to be looking for a partner as well. "Hey Laura, I could partner with you if you want. It's just...you're older than me, so you'll probably know way more spells, so. Maybe we could take it slow?" She hoped that would be all right. She might need to crack open her notes every now and then to jog her memory.
