But yes yes yesss... time to HARNESS this skill.
After examining his seedling, at eye level, Zeke took a small step back so he had wand waving room. Herbivicus... HER-BI-VI-CUS... herbivicus. That was easy enough now that he remembered it. And the wand movement too was easy. He practiced that as well.
The three mountains thing... was like an upside down W. And despite w's only forming two mountains - traditionally - his didn't, he had THREE mountains, so yes, upside down W FTW!!!!
Confident in his abilities, Zeke puffed out his chest, took a deep breath in and moved to perform the spell. Only..
...
His wand arm moved to trace the upside down extended W... but his words never escaped his lips. What was it? "Herbivicus?" Yess!!! he could do this now. HE COULD.
And so he tried again. Upside down extended W and "Herbvicus!"
Nothing happened.
It didn't grow.
He had failed.
Zeke bent forward at the waist so he could STARE at his seedling again. Why didn't it GRRROOOWWW?! Ugh.
"Herbivicus!" he repeated, in syn with the wand movement. This time a green light shot from his wand and connected with the plant, making it grow a mere inch.
IT GREEEEWWW!!!
"Herbivicus!" And and... IT GREW AGAIN!
Zeke marveled first at the green light, which to him was POWER, and then at the seedling which had looked like nothing but a stringy bean and which now resembled a small leafy plant thing. IT HAD SMALL LEAVES!
