The second shield charm was really a doozy, and Mo lingered over it for a while. It wasn't that the incantation was particularly challenging, but more that the motion took enough thought that he got distracted from even remembering to say the spell. His wand seemed to slip a bit in his grip, and then Mo would overcompensate and squeeze his fist shut around it.

Finally, he got the roll between his fingers right, and Mo did a little victory dance, right there on the purple mat. Now he could add the incantation and see what all the fuss was about. "Loricatus," he spoke clearly and rolled the wand. Although incomplete, Mo could feel the weight of the shield spell on his arms and torso like an extra thick sweater he couldn't even see. Awesome.

But... it seemed that his distraction meant that Mo had missed the part where people paired off, and he had missed the chance to find himself a partner. "Anyone... still need a partner?" He smiled gamely and rolled his wand between his fingers for show.
