Left Rites

"So, I want you to try and cast the spell now."


I nodded, and pulled back the too long sleeves on my wizard robe, and spoke the words while moving my hand.


"Parren Gomosh Delonius!"


My sleeve caught on fire, my teacher quickly putting it out.


"Well then, another lesson. Whenever a spell fails, you write down what you did, and what happened."


Confused, I wrote down my mispronunciations.


"Is this in case I discover a new spell?"


"Maybe, but mostly, in future, when you realise how close to death you come with such errors, you'll need a calming activity."
