That seemed like the number one most practical thing magic could be used for, aside from cooking, and cleaning, and travel, and healing, okay, not the number one most practical thing.

"I've always thought so," Neva agreed, eyeing the cat with an amused expression. It was as if she recognized the compliment, the feline moving towards the girl's legs and rubbing up against them.

Ah, growth spurt problems. Neva remembered those days. "There are ways to elongate fabric, yes. The trouble is you might not get the exact length you desire on the first or even fifth try. That's why witches and and wizards tend to update their robes each year, or get them professional altered." But she was welcome to try it, if she wanted. "If you'd like to try it, the incantation is elongatis and the wand movement is a simple tap on the item you're trying to lengthen."
