So, onto the next spell. Jory was still apprehensive about this one, he really hated the felling that came with it. "But it must be done,'' he said, hoping to encourage himself.

"Torparticus!'' he exclaimed jabbing his wand at his hand. At first he could feel nothing but then he started to feel a sharp prickly and numb sensation. "Uh oh,'' the Puff muttered as the feeling intensified a bit. But before he could brace himself for more, the prickling and numbness suddenly vanished. "Well, I guess I didn't put enough into that.'' He couldn't lie, he was sort of relieved the spell hadn't gone right. It was that much he hated the numb feeling.
