It's around the same level of care that a decent parent would exert for their own child." It was indeed a great question.
Hearing Thompson's voice, Toby looked up at him again to give him his full attention. He nodded along throughout the whole answer, internally being like 'aha, yep, totally called that' and feeling a slight tinge of pride that his conclusion was about right. But at the last part, he paused and looked away for a moment, chewing at the inside of his cheek thinking about decent parents and not-decent parents and other such things. And Porlocks.

"Awesome. That makes sense," Toby finally responded, glancing back at Thompson again and giving him a small smile. "Thanks, sir."

So, this apple. Yep. Time to... sweeten the deal? Ha.

"Maa-gee-mus..." Toby muttered the incantation to himself, testing it out in his mouth before going off to cast it or anything. "Magimus... Magimus. Magimus."

Cool. Simple. He could do that. Toby held up his wand and pointed it at the apple he held in hand, and mimicked the wand movement Thompson had shown them earlier, basically drawing a circle around the fruit. Again, easy. Now for the tricky part.

Toby traced the tip of his wand in a circle all the way around the fruit again, and spoke.

"Magimus."

He tried to focus as hard as he could on what he wanted the spell to do, even attempted to imagine tasting the sweetness he was going for. It was difficult, because Toby's mind was other places, but there WERE sparks to be seen, just like in the demonstration. Only one way of checking to see if the spell had worked.
