Janelle listened to the conversation about the benefits of magic. She agreed with the professor. Magic definitely made things easier, if you knew what you were doing. Sure, it took time to get good at it.......but once you had some key spells under your belt, it was awesome.

And now they were going to learn to make their pictures move. Cool. Janelle wrote the spell information in her notebook. Then she was ready to give it a try. Tracing the thing to be animated, shouldn't be too hard so Janelle went right for the incantation. "An-i-ma-tae, An-i -ma-tae, Animatae", she said, just to get a feel for the words. When Janelle was finished, she turned back to her canvas.

Rather than create a completely new picture, Janelle decided to add some things to what she had already done? Grabbing her paintbrush again, she cleaned it and dipped it in some fresh paint. Then Janelle made a few birds in the sky. They were going to fly, if she did things right. Putting down her brush, Janelle took her wand and began to trace the outline of one of her birds. At the same time, Janelle said, "Animatae". As she had imagined, the bird started to move across the page. Janelle was soooo happy, she had gotten it on the first try. "I love magic", she said to herself.
