Wand out, Alice began preparing herself before she began on the spell. Did she need preparation? Her intent's presence seemed fairly strong to her or something. How did one even measure the strength of their intent? Either way, strong intent or not, she was starting. "Intaglio Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz Uruz.." She kept repeating the word until she was finished carving. And there it was, etched into her desk and everything, but not perfect, and she wanted it to be perfect. It looked.. shaky. Wavering even.

Had her intent not been 'present' enough for it?

She gave the carving looks. Her intent was FINE, thank you.
