catching up x3 Ability is nothing without Opportunity | | Creativity is Intelligence having FUN Ohh ok they had to get a hedgehog and turn it into a pin cushion. Nonverbally given his level. Sure thing no sweat. The nonverbals anyway since thats what he's already doing most of the time. Transfiguring animals into objects he's also had success in previous terms. So lets hop to it?
Ace took a hedgehog and crooned at it for a bit, he needed it to relax, earn its trust. Those are what he learned from his classes where he had a finicky creature and it was hard enough trying to make a spell land on it when it isnt moving. Just as he was calming the creature down it was also setting himself into the right mindset. Because just like his previous classes, if he had to cast a spell onto a creature, he gotta do it once and do it right; messy spellcasting wasnt just embarassing but it can be quite uncomfortable to the creature to put it mildly.
He practiced the wandstroke, visualizing it, and then repeating the spell over and over in his head. By then the hedgehog was either napping or bored, or napping because it was bored. Now's the time he thought. Ericiusfors he cast onto the hedgehog with such certainty, visualizing the hedgehog in its pincushion form.
.... And pincushion it became. Like a cute hedgehog plushie.
Success!
...... Wait..... did it move? Ace peered closer at his work, blinking a few times. Maybe it was a trickery of sight-- no wait there it is again! Its.... breathing.
Gasp! Reverto he cast at the pincushion hastily, and the hedgehog returned to form, shifted a bit like it felt something happened but wasnt sure if it did happen. It looked at him as Ace stared back worriedly, turned around in its spot and went back to napping.
Whew!
Ok he has got to get this right, no screw ups, do it once do it right! Ericiusfors he cast again with confident ferocity, almost to the point where he didnt want the creature to ever come back. Almost.
Staaaaare...... hedgehog plushie...... sat silent and unmoving. No breathing, no nothing. Ace sat back in his seat relieved. He looked at the Professor indicating that he was done and can she check his work so that he could revert the hedgehog back into the land of the living pleasethankyou. |
