Patrick listened closely as Flamel talked about getting the flames to go higher and then reduce them. He knew the reduction wouldn't be too terrible. He had somehow figured out the isa rune with Headmistress Hawthorne when she was teaching his second year. He was hopeful that he would still know what the heck he was doing.

He grabbed his Kenaz rune and placed it in his hand. Running over the galdr in his head. He thought about the flame increasing and kept that thought in his head. "Kenaz kenaz kenaz," he inhaled and started the rest of the galdr, "ku ka ki ke ko, kun kan kin ken kon," he thought hard about the flame increasing.

He continued the galdr knowing that the flame should be getting larger, "ok ek ik ak uk, kaunnnnnnnnn." He repeated again watching as the flame slowly began to rise.

The candle flickered again. It wasn't rising as much as he had hoped. He repeated the galdr one more time with a vision of the flame going higher, "Kenaz kenaz kenaz, ku ka ki ke ko, kun kan kin ken kon, ok ek ik ak uk, kaunnnnnnnnn" The flame reached the level that he had hoped for and he couldn't have been happier.
