Qaz entered and read the instructions. Okay, this should be too tough, but she’d much prefer a real bow to shooting arrows out of her wand. Nevertheless, it was another skill to be conquered. So, she grabbed a pair or protective glass, not the most attractive, but they should do the trick.

Now, the protective spell. This one was knew to her, so she had to concentrate. Wand in a circular motion…now that’s a bit awkward. Qaz went through the movement several times, until it felt natural. Once again with the wand and ‘Impiriano.’ Alrighty., a neat Ravie blue aura.

Time to attack the poor defenseless targets. Qaz stood in her shooting stance…sideways, looking down her wand arm at the target. A few dry runs for good measure……jab, jab, jab. Too much of this and I’ll have tennis elbow, she thought. ‘Better get to the real thing before I wear my arm out.'

Qaz took careful aim at the bullseye want…point…jab…’Shro-wan’ Arrow away…and hit the outer most ring on the top left. Drat. Maybe I jerked at the end of the jab.

Try number two. Stand steady. Aim down my arm…jab…’Shro-wan’ The arrow erupted from her wand once again, but it seemed to lack power and barely hit the bottom of the target.

Qaz was feeling a bit frustrated. She said under her breath, ‘Okay, you can do this. You are the bow. Just stand, aim and (jab) SHRO-wan!’ This time the arrow emerged with enough power and flew straighter than before, but it didn’t hit the bullseye. Upon closer inspection, it was a centimeter outside the bulleye. Not good enough for Qaz. In frustration, she grabbed her three arrows from the target, returned the protective glass and left, before she said or did something that she’d regret.
