I'll give you a few moments to practice these, and then I will give you the next instructions."

OOC: Practice the wand movement OR the incantation separately but not together. Anyone actually casting the spell will get in trouble! I'll resume with the next part in around 9-10 hours from this post, and then we'll get to take them out to play a game
She supposed she should start with the wand movement...she did find it more difficult to learn than the incantation anyway...and so, taking a moment to tie her hair into a ponytail, she reached into her bag for her book and turned to page 47. Right, twist and tap. She could do that.

She took her wand out of its holster and gripped it tightly as she rotated her wrist in a counter clockwise direction. That was outward, right?

Then..tap? What was she supposed to tap?

She looked around the classroom and found everyone else tapping their books and tables. Alright. Time to start tapping then she supposed. So, starting the wand movement again with the twist, she rotated her wrist at the outward direction then tapped the wooden table, repeating the process a few more times, just to make sure that she had it down up to the last tap.

Twist and tap. Twist and tap. Twist and tap...
