Professor Hirsch had them out here doing all these notes...and Liv was just...gah. What a time to be in possession of a Quick Quotes Quill, amright? Because surely, by now, her wand hand would've been about ready to fall clean off. AND THEN WHERE WOULD SHE BE!? In a terrible situation, was the correct answer...because um, she wasn't ambidextrous. Like others were? Either way, she watched in amusement as the quill went to town against her parchment page, surely coloring the passage with exaggerations and dramatic words. Really, it was just like if she'd been copying the notes down herself.

But also...the blonde could've melted on the spot.. They... were... learning the fire... lasso... Oh...Yas...yassssss, yas... Just allow her to run, not walk, to collect a firesuit for herself. And really, Olivia had to commend Professor Hirsch on this foresight. Spells and charms only went so far, and it was always best to have some real protection against something of this nature. Besides, not everyone could charm themselves up to snuff. Better to be safe than sorry any day. And while Liv would've loved seeing Healer Reed, they had to stop meeting like that.

Silently, she moved forward, rooting around for one of the suits that would best suit her size. She was a twig, but her legs were...very long. So, she picked one a bit bigger, shuffling off to the side to set her wand down and get into it. As expected, it was a bit bigger on her body, baggy in some areas, but it fit her legs. So, she was all set. Mobility was still ace. Now, for this spell. Truly, Liv had been curious about this spell ever sense she'd heard of Professor Hirsch's use of it in the portal. Apparently, it had been an impressive sight, and she was loathed to have missed it. But age...and her own terror....getting in the way.

Right, so...Lustro Circulus, which...was easier to say than some of the other spells they were expected to learn. Lus...tro cir...cu...lus. Two syllables and then three. Lus-tro cir-cu-lus. Lustro circulus. Lustro circulus. Lustro circulus.....

Lustro circulus...

Feeling confident with the incantation, at least, Liv moved towards the lake's edge, peering out into the expanse of dark water. Now for this whiplike motion. The thing about that is that...when in tournament duels, she sorta whipped her wand a lot, anyway. So, it was easier now to train her arm to do as it was commanded. Raising her hand, she brought it down with a severe flick of her wrist, pleased that it felt more natural to her body than something that would need to be retaught. No doubt, intent and control would be the real test...as her control with most spells was okay, but this was a more complex piece of magic. Olivia was prepared to struggle with it.

She wanted a fire whip. GIVE HER A FIRE WHIP... Deep breaths, concentration face...Liv whipped her wand point out across the dark, watery surface. "Lustro Circulus!".......

And.....nothing. If anyone glimpsed the slightly betrayed look she was dishing out at her wand, they weren't seeing things. What in the world...This was...a charm, right? Or....actually....damnit. This was conjuring fire. This was a seemingly harmless charm in Transfiguration's clothing. GAH!....

Looking to her Puffer friend, she hoped he was fairing better.
