"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."[/color]
Alice took her wand out of its holster with a rather shaky hand before placing the leaf on the desk in front of her. She took a deep breath, hoping to calm her nerves, before pointing her wand at the leaf.
"Temran Madera!" Alice said, running her wand in a horizontal line along the leaf.
She raised her eyebrows in amazement that it had actually worked...well...almost. The end of the board was a little crooked looking.
