Fun with Magic | Monday, 2nd period

[nuclear_snide]

Class had been handwavily asked to meet on the lawn again today, and Bob was there rubbing his hands gleefully. "Well, I understand this was an eventful weekend. So now, we all get to have a bit of fun."

All of you, just Bob...details.

"As it's rather a hot day out," not that Bob cared, "and I'm given to understand water is a preferred coping mechanism, here is your magic for today." He waved at a box nearby, which held…

"Magic wands. More or less. These have only one spell in them - they create globes of water. The globes will travel at a speed and direction dictated by the wand when they are created." He conjured up an illusory wand and demonstrated 'flinging' a water globe.

"Think of it as a learned skill. I suggest you learn it before you make yourself wetter than your opponents."

Welcome to magical water balloon lacrosse!

...try not to injure yourselves.

"Okay, fast in one direction, and then..."

And away the water went, much more impressively, this time.

Bob kept himself from cheering, cleared his throat, and grinned instead.

"There you go."

Norman looked over at Bob, smiling faintly.

"That was okay?"

Yeah, kinda.

"That was very good," Bob said. "Now, do it fast enough to fight like that."

Hey, he believed in setting high bars.

"To... fight like that?" Norman looked maybe the faintest bit bewildered. "... Okay, I can try. I'm not really much of a fighter, though."

Bob gave him an exasperated look. "These are magical water balloons, not bullets. Not to mention, at least one of your classmates is aquatic to begin with. Go on!"

Norman blinked at that reminder, feeling faintly silly about actually needing it. He'd gotten so wrapped up in the lesson that he'd forgotten the whole point of today's actual class. And so, with a sheepish smile and a little nod, he used the wand to conjure up another ball of water.

"Right," he replied. "Okay!"

And then he was looking for a classmate to single out, and running off to play.
