She had faith they could do any of them.

Now probably wasn't the time for a deep and meaningful talk on that subject though, so Isabelle merely smiled and moved away.

"Thank you for all the votes, it would appear that the majority of you have chosen the compass spell. A useful one for those that don't want to constantly use Point Me! And want something more permanent." Muggles for instance. And the kids did seem to think they got lost alot, so why not learn this? Plus the fact you could use it then keep your wand free for other things. Anyway, moving on.

Walking to the table behind her desk, Isabelle took a deep breath and picked up one of the many boxes. "In here I have a range of watches - wrist ones, pockets ones, big, small. I'll pass them out to you all then we can concentrate on getting the incantation correct, along with the wand movement." Placing the box down on her desk, Issy lazily flicked her wand and watch after watch made it's way to a students desk. "Once you have had a chance to get the feel of your watch, you can try the proper pronunciation of the spell. WITHOUT wands first." She emphasised that bit. Didn't wand them to blow something up because they didn't do the right wand movement.

"Alright everyone. The incantation for this spell, as you can see on the board, is Comletia, and it is pronounced thus: Com-LET-e-AH. Have a go at getting that right, then we'll move to wands."

OOC: I'll be back a little later, feeling a bit ill right now. Please just have your character inspecting their watches and practising the incantation - NO WANDS YET. No excessive chatting please, just keep it to the learning. Thanks.


Raven walk toward the box took a wrist watch, he imagine how he transfigure it into a compass while going back to his chair. "Com-LET-e-AH, Com-LET-e-AH, Com-LET-e-AH, Comletia" Raven practicing the incantation, looking at the wrist watch

"It would seem that you are all set with the incantation, now onto the wand movement." Isabelle took out her own wand again and held it in front of her for them all to see. "Firstly you make a small cross shape - top to bottom, left to right. Then you carry that through to a small circle shape finished by a gentle jab at the item you are changing. But you do not need to touch it." She demonstrated what she meant by applying it to the watch she had left on her desk. Cross shape, circle, jab. "One long, fluid movement, no stopping and starting or it won't work correctly.... Comletia!" With a poof the watch became a bright red compass, similar colouring to what the watch had been. She held it up for them to see.

"Now if you wish to change the appearance even further, beyond merely making it a compass, you need to concentrate even harder, and more completely on what you wish the final object to look like." Placing the new compass back down on the desk, Issy leant her bum against it as she looked at the kids. "Concentration and intent are key to making sure you get the exact thing you are aiming for. Now please practice the wand movement without the incantation, and once you feel you have mastered it, move on to doing the two together."

Feeling the cool air blow on her face, Isabelle closed her eyes and smiled. It was helping. "If you make any mistakes, or simply want to keep practising more than the once - which I hope you do - I shall revert the compass back for you to a watch, or you can ask one of the older students for help with that. I'm sure they'd be more than willing." Right? "You may begin."

Raven drew his wand, Now Raven is practicing the wand movement, still looking at the wrist watch, no incantation. He bear the will to conduct such magic, he move the wand like making a small cross shape - top to bottom, left to right, then a small circle shape, and lastly a jab, Cross shape, circle, jab; Cross shape, circle, jab; Cross shape, circle, jab; Cross shape, circle, jab. "Woooh, what a wand movement not a hard one" Raven say weakly, but still he knew, placing the wand movement and incantation is different.
