Alright, now that Kurumi felt she had the incantation down well enough, she turned her attention to her wand in her hand. Stiff wands would find the movement easier? Was her's stiff? Kurumi tried to think back to when she had had her wand sorted for her at Ollivanders and how she had melted the man's shoes to the floor but all she could recall was him telling her that it was a good wand for transfiguration spells.

Yeah...that wasn't entirely true since she MELTED things every lesson.

Bending her wand slightly in her hands, Kurumi supposed it was...sort of stiff? Not that it mattered, she needed to focus on the movement. Clock-wise circular motion with your hand followed by a quick steady flick, was it? Practicing the movement a few times on her own in the sand - and trying not to lose her balance too much from the sand shifting positions under her booted feet - Kurumi eventually felt like she had it down enough to perform it.

With a clock-wise circular motion followed by a quick steady flick, Kurumi repeated the incantation. "Protego Caelum." Um...had it worked? Probably only one way to find out, right?

Kurumi stumbled through the sand until she arrived under a cloud. "Ready!"
