Well that was a tongue twister if she ever heard one.
Writing down what she thought was important about the charm, (which was pretty much everything that had been said) Ivory looked down in scrutiny at the incantation and practiced saying it sloooowly.
"Vi-se-o E-bu-llio? Vi-SE-o E-Bul-LIO? Vi-se-O Eb-U-LLio?" Blowing the bangs out of her eyes with one quick exhale, she tried again. " Vi-sE-O E-bU-llio."
It took her quite a while until she found the proper way to enunciate the words without sounding like an idiot and even longer for them to finally flow them together so that they sound incantation-y. Eventually it was time to practice the wand movement.
Digging into her robes for her wand she knew exactly when she'd come in contact with it not just because well she felt the wood in her hand but because of the familiar warmth that spread through her arm in a light wave. A warmth that pinpointed in her hand and then gave way to an ever present blue flame at the tip of her wand. A blue flame that never failed to comfort her and calm her nerves.
Breathing deeply, she tried it out. Counterclock wise turn around head. Voila. And once more, and one more time.
Hmm. Well there wasn't really a trick to the turn.
Deciding it was time to bring it all together, she tried the spell for the first time. "Viseo Ebullio" At first her eyes widened as a tiny stream of something circled her head, but sadly it was a victory shortlived because as soon as she moved her wand away from her face so was the outline removed.
A giant sigh escaped her lips. She'd known she wouldn't get it on her first try but it still hurt. Shaking her head and popping a few fingers in preparation, she tried again...and again...and again...
