If you were you would need to treat them, as muggles do, or place spells on them to make them perfect."
Clapping her hands, Issy stepped forward and waved towards those that were in the tank to get their attention as well. Making sure she was in a place they could all see her, she began to speak. "Now, I know some you would wish to carry on with the current spell, but I'm going to fill you all in on the one for the paddle. It is the coracle spell you will be repeating over and over for the game later, so this is slightly less important for that. But I expect you all to take it just as seriously."
Placing another stick on the ground, Isabelle flexed her arms and pointed her wand at it. "Ta-lea!" She drew a horizontal line in the air, finished with a little loop at the end. The small stick began to stretch in length and width, one end of it becoming broader and flatter than the rest. Once completed a paddle was in it's place. "See? The wand movement is a line and loop, as if you are drawing the shape of a spoon in the air." That made sense right? They could visualise a spoon. Well, as long as they didn't create one.
"If there are no questions, you can go ahead and try this spell too. Or carry on for a while to get your coracle just right." Issy smiled and stowed her wand back in it's holster. She was done with it for now.
OOC: Again, I'll be off to bed soon, so please make sure you read all IC instructions and follow them. Next post in about 15 hours or so.
"Great, thank you" said sarah. now worries abated, the colour returned to her face. Yet she was now now in the middle of the lake, and could not get out. Lucklily, thinking ahead she had taken an extra stick and her wand with ehr just in case. First the incanatation :"Ta-lea," she said, "Ta-lea, Ta-lea, Ta-lea" she was getting good at this! No wthe wand movement, she drew a horizontal line and added a circle at the end. She tried it several times until she was satified.
Now the real deal. She took out the stick and placed it on the floor of her boat and took out her wand. She pointed her wand at it, "Ta-lea" she said, and mdrew a horizontal line with a circle at the one end. Then her stick began to tranform, thinking quickly, Sarah held up the oar, incase it might get too big for the boat when stretching. She held it as the wood thickened. Soon she was lef twith an oar.
