 Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
Oh, so that's what that door was for. Oh. Okay.
It went without saying that the Ravenclaw would have much preferred her idea of what the door was for but there was nothing to be done about it now. This was the direction the Professor was taking the door in and it looked like they'd be playing a game of connect the dots. Sort o a game anyway...more like an activity.
Jessa rose from her seat, side eyeing the subtle confrontation between Flynn and her bestfriend. It was hard to miss the look he shot his way and Jessa wasn't pleased.
Not wanting to give him the satisfaction of attention, Jessa turned instead to the room, following the man and the rest of the class inside. As he instructed, the 15 year old picked a spot with an incomplete Orion. This one was well out of the way of everyone else and would provide enough space for her to attempt this spell both ways. Believe it or not, she still hadn't decided whether she wanted to go strictly non-verbal.
Perhaps....just once verbally--but would that technically break her resolve to not cast another spell if she couldn't do it non-verbally....
She had...in Ancient Runes, to carve a rune so maybe...maybe breaking for this too wouldn't be so bad. Conflicted, Jessa drew her wand and took aim at the empty spot in the belt. She knew, for the most part, what this constellation was meant to look like when she was done. That wouldn't be the challenge here, figuring how she would do the spell was.
"Stellaris." She uttered, her intent focused on a ball of light appearing to fill the void. It's actual appearance was confirmation enough; this wasn't a difficult spell, the hardest part would indeed be trying it non-verbally. Jessa frowned at the unfinished diagram. How would she get this done? For a few seconds, she focused on pure intent, trying to remember the feeling when she'd cast verbally.
If she could just replicate it....the wand already knew what she wanted it to do.....
Again, Jessa drew the wand movement, the shape of a star but left out the incantation. All her focus went into her intent, her mind focusing on nothing else. It quickly became clear this would be as difficult as re-learning any of the other spells in her arsenal. Hmm. She drew the star again, channeling everything she had into creating another ball of light. The way the tip of her wand flickered was promising enough but it was no ball of light.
For a wand that sometimes liked to go off on it's own, it was acting proper skeptic about casting without an incantation.
All it would really take was getting into the right groove. Finding out what made non-verbals successful in the first place. The formula that worked for her and her wand but for right now, the most she accomplished at a time was the flicker at the end of her wand before the familiar feeling of disappointment. Ugh. This was going nowhere any time soon.
