Preston sighed. "Yes, Miss Shepard. Obviously, as this is a wandwork class your wand is of importance."
He listened to each student, nodding at each in turn. "Good. Good. While some of you have been very specific, you're right. Shelter. Warmth. Light. Water. Many of these things you can already managed."
Pausing, he flicked his wand at the board, listing the spells from previous classes.
"We haven't, however, really covered shelter. That is part of today's lesson and part of your final." He made his way to the pile of branches and leaves and gathered some for himself. "We're going to learn how to turn objects around you into materials you can use to construct a shelter."
"You will be able to use these spells with the ropes, nails and even blankets to provide shelter. The first is turning leaves into lumber. This is different from focalia in that the othe spell creates bundles of dry firewood. This will give you boards and planks."
Preston drew a small horizontal line in the air with his wand. "Temran madera"
The leaf settled on his desk transformed into a wooden board about three feet long.
"This would work with similar object as well. So, everyone take your leaves and try the spell to make a board."
"They were making a shelter out of wood? But wouldn't a tent be easier?" She thought. Then she remembered the troubles she and her father had had the last time they tried to set up a tent. "Maybe this will be easier."
"Temran madera" she said aloud over and over, trying to get control of the syllables. when she was ready, she pointed her wand at the leaf, and repeated the incantation while copping the professor's wand movement. She watched as the leaf turned into a wooden board. Unfortunately, the board was just a little longer than her wand.
"Um, Professor?" she called while putting her hand in the air, "
How do I make it bigger?"
