The air shimmered as she began the incantation, words infused with ancient power that resonated through the very fabric of the supernatural realm. "Elvie, daughter of the moon, ensnared by unseen forces, let the veils that bind you be lifted. Return to the essence that defines you," Morgana intoned, her voice carrying the weight of centuries of magical knowledge.

Gold and white light flickers at the edges of my vision as I lift my hands and each wave I release works to follow the things I draw in the air, "Conceal me." Sigils form in the air beneath my fingers. "Send prying eyes away." The words leave my lips firmly and magic answers back. It ripples outward, spreading through the trees like a blast of wind.

Alphana smiles. "All beings are spiritual and magical," Alphana says, her voice solemn and wise. "But some creatures, like werewolves and witches, have a greater amount of spiritual energy than others. They can use that energy to cast spells and work magic."

Circe continued, "intention is everything. The strength of your magic depends on your willpower and the clarity of your intentions. Half-hearted efforts yield weak results. You must be focused and determined." Circe reached for an old, leather-bound book on the table. It looked ancient, with its cover worn and pages yellowed with age.

Maybe I pushed a little too much magic into it, but it worked all the same. I planted my hands on either side of the washer and called forth the storm in my gut. Power surged down my arms, pooling in my hands as it awaited my command. Pushing all thoughts from my mind, even that of Lucille barking orders at me like a dog, I wove my intention into the air and mixed it with that of my magic.
