Nika nodded as she turned away from Aurora. Jim was right it wouldn't do her any good to look at Aurora and envy how she got her hex right away. She'd just have to focus on her own work and maybe she'd be able to get it right after a while. "Yes, I do want this." She said with a confident nod. She held her wand up again and looked at the dummy. "Er-tick-ate!" She almost yelled it this time. She was getting a bit restless after trying and failing so many times, but no matter how hard she'd fall she would just get back up and try again.

A wisp of something came out of her wand again, but the hex didn't work yet. She was getting closer though. She could feel that she was improving, all it took was a few hundred tries. "Er-tick-ate!" This time the wisp extended out more and she could see that she was almost their. It'd just take some more practice.

Anger was starting to build up. She couldn't take it. Why must this be so hard for her!? But maybe that's what she needed, anger. Jim did say that it was all about negative feelings so maybe this anger building up inside of her was the little push that she needed. "Er-tick-ate!" She did the X movement and was shocked when it worked. IT WORKED!!

"I did it!" Even though it didn't look as strong as it should it was still something. She got something and that was the only thing she needed to give herself a confidence boost. It might take another fifteen tries to get it to work again, but at least she got it once.
