 Practicing a bit more first, then starting the main activity :3 YesJess! | Captain Goggles | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Skylar hadn't been terribly concerned with the wand movement. Whip-like movement, yea, no need to practice that, right?! Surely not. But the incantation was where she struggled, because she had to carefully articulate lest she say something and inappropriately cast something. Not that Hirsch couldn't fix it, but she also didn't care to set the grounds on fire, as she was fairly sure the groundskeeper would not be pleased about that. Which also meant he'd probably bar her from practicing on the pitch as punishment.
"Lustro Circulus," she said again. And now with the wand movement. Adding a small wand movement, she whispered, "Lustro Circulus," but perhaps because her focus was on not destroying the grounds, rather than on creating a fire circle, there was a small fire, which quickly extinguished. Welp. It was a start, wasn't it?
Swallowing, she glanced back around as Hirsch was talking and explaining the main activity. No zombies, for which the fourth year found herself INCREDIBLY grateful for, but something WAY COOL. Ice sculptures!? Which made her wonder; had Hirsch helped the groundskeeper with those ice sculptures in the igloo? She was going to have to convene with Brent later about that. Because for now, she had to figure out what shape ice sculpture she wanted to make and she guessed she wasn't going to making no swan or elephant.
Something simple, for sure... since she hadn't even managed a full lasso, before it extinguishing, so this control thing was going to tough. Maybe a wand? Then would just have to shave the big block into a thin pick and it wouldn't exercise too much control? Or a broomstick? Slightly more complicated than just a wand, but not that intricate either.
Yes, a broomstick. Clearly focusing on a broomstick in her mind, she figured she might as well get started, "Lustro Circulus," she cast, this time the fire!lasso held for a bit longer as some of the ice melted from the corner. Perhaps because she had a goal in mind rather than just practicing, and yet.... it still extinguished after only a small corner had melted off. Well, this was going to take way longer than fifteen minutes.
