"You may stand up and try it now, just don't get up on the duelling platforms." Which was where the suits of armour were all waiting, perhaps even quivering with eagerness for... something.
Truebridge added, "The shield will always appear blueish, though the shade of blue may vary from person to person. Some may be more visible than others, but that isn't an indicator of strength. For now, just practice casting the spell and be careful not to trip over the incantation."

Is it...the same for all the other spells? Like certain colors for certain groups of spells or the different power of them?" Seriously confusing herself.
"Ah," Truebridge smiled encouragingly. "Some are to do with strength, some are to do with personality, others are indeed to do with the nature of the spell, and some do not have any visible colour at all. Some spells are a certain colour because that was simply how it manifested itself when the original creator made it, and when intent is focused and the spell passed on, then that is the way it continued to be. In other cases, you couldn't change the colour if you tried. In general the
hue might be a little different based on the strength of the cast or the caster's personality, but thats about all the difference you'll find." Confusing? Sure. It was advanced magical studies. The sort of thing those who went on to study at University tended to focus on.
ooc: I'll leave it here for a bit for the ESTers to catch up. Go ahead and RP practicing the incantation, or the spell or just taking notes, up to you.
