Ivory shot a smile to the Professor before during back to the target. She was a huge fan of constructive criticism and an even bigger fan of encouragement.

Nodding she stared down the target again. Focus on the target...focus....target.

Rings. Rings. And nothing but Rings...

Since the target wasn't that far off she was able to look at the center of the target right in its Bull's eye with a gleam in her eye that said 'You're-going-down.'

"Histedius!"Her wand motion swished in the cross motion as neon green rings burst forth, changing in size as they neared the target.

THUD

The target rebounded against the floor with a thud and came right back up again...Only to be shot down again.

"Histedius!"

...and again.

"Histedius!"

and once more.
"Histedius!"

Her smile wide and excited, Ivory realized that she'd been stalling moving on the the further more harder to reach target. Sighing she took the few step to the next line and looked at the distance forlornly.

It was such a big gap between her and the target. Must've been about double her height that was for sure.

Biting her lip she glared at the target, wondering if she could make it come closer with a look alone.

Eventually of course she concluded that this was not at all possible and she would have to come to terms with the distance.

Alright, here we go. she thought to herself as she stretched out her arms a bit and limbered up.

Hey one had to be prepared right?

"Histedius!" Maybe it was her lack of confidence, maybe it was just that the target really was a long distance away, whatever the case where as before she had bit it that same target on her first try now her green rings barely teetered it. And when she tried it again it barely swayed.

Stamping her foot she took a few deep breaths and counted to ten before fixing the small details that were probably wrong with her impatient casting.

Okay offensive stance...center of gravity. Loosen grip on wand so that's it firm but not inflexible. Concentrate the mind on one single thing...in this case the outcome.

Exhale...
"Histedius!"

Green rings echoed forward honing in on the target, the force pushing it back so that it tipped over. Not all the way to touch the floor and come up again...but enough to give her hope that she'd be able to do it with a few more tries.
