RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Hope St.John-Black - June 13, 2024
Hope felt overwhelmed at having made it thus far and to be left standing amongst much more talented and older witches. For her chosen illusion, she decided to make it appear as if a veritable rainbow of flowers were crowned on her head and adorning her dress, their petals fluttering as if blown by a summer breeze.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Adrienne Lestrange - June 13, 2024
Feeling quite pleased she made it past the transfiguration segment, Adrienne decided to add to Mrs. Gbadamosi’s display and send an illusion of animals frolicking through the garden.

Benevolence was pleased to start the next round, even if her stomach turned a little in nerves. Nev turned her attention to the next assignment. She drew her wand and attempted to cast an illusion that would cause a whip of the wind to wrap around her, the shadows of little birds fluttering over her gown, seeming to settle on her skin and in the folds of her gown.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Laurel Potts - June 13, 2024
There were lots of flowers, Laurel noted, perhaps she ought to consider something less expected. She cast a spell envisioning the stage in front of her as the fish pond Basil has insisted adding to their garden, Gilded with late afternoon light as small goldfish peeked their heads up out of the water before resuming their lazy swim.

Typically Lucy preferred to buy her gown enchanted, but she did know how to do it herself. With a murmured spell and a wave of her wand at her gown she envisioned the parted underskirts darkening to the night sky, fireworks bursting across the fabric, off the fabric in sparks of glowing flames.

Malou's most frequent illusion casting was hiding the damage of a spell or the remedy of it from a patient, and only in very rare cases. She considered for a moment before attempting to create the illusion of the props tables becoming set for a dinner party.

Illusion was something Angelica was too familiar with, if her personal life was any indication. Turning her attention to the curtains over the windows, Angelica aimed to make the rustling fabric appear as ravens in flight.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Zelda Darrow - June 14, 2024
Two rounds down, two to go — Zelda was less confident in illusion than the other areas of magic. She moved to make it appear as if she was standing on the deck of a sailboat.

Illusion. Sera had sent so much of her adult life as an illusion. She moved to create the image that she was hidden by thick fog.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Fitzroy Prewett - June 15, 2024
The widow Gbadamosi's efforts were actually praised by the judges, who had kept their cards close to their chest thus far. Indeed, Fitz himself felt many of the women had been impressive indeed in their illusions, though not all of them could progress. He gave an apologetic smile to his brother's wife as she, Mrs. St.John-Black, and Mrs. Lestrange departed.
"It is one thing to make us experience what is not there," the wizard offered, "but now, you will be asked to conjure something from nothing. Given what we have seen so far, I anticipate great things!"

Your character has 72 hours to post their conjuring casting, after which the round will be scored. If everyone posts, the lowest three will be eleminated.

RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Ife Gbadamosi - June 15, 2024
Having given a nod to her magical and cultural upbringing in the Transfiguration round and to Callista's interests in the illusion round, Ife turned her attention now towards her youngest granddaughter. Unfortunately conjuring a star was beyond even her. Instead, she worked to create an object rather like snowglobe, but with a starry night sky inside the glass rather than a miniature landscape.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Angelica Selwyn - June 18, 2024
Oddly, it was not competitive fire that fueled Angelica’s final demonstration. The chance of a win, of glory, triggered her entrance, but now, in this moment, it was something more precious. With great care, Angelica endeavored to conjure a small statuette of an angel with a raven on her arm.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Seraphina Bythesea - June 18, 2024
She had not only performed; she had made it into the top half of the witches present. Sera was pleasantly surprised. Now it was time to conjure; it took her a beat to decide what she wanted to do. Inspired by her own situation, she moved to conjure a golden birdcage — (no bird, yet — she had aspirations if she should make the last round.)
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Zelda Darrow - June 18, 2024
Zelda exhaled; conjuration was a branch of transfiguration, and she felt better about it than she did illusion. With a flick of her wand, she moved to conjure a miniature lighthouse, roughly the size of her earlier heron, in front of her.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Benevolence Crouch - June 18, 2024
Nev stood before the empty table and with a flourish of her wand attempted to conjure a beautiful vase full of hot house blooms.
RE: Older Dog, Fancy Tricks (Matrons Spellcraft 1894) - Laurel Potts - June 18, 2024
Laurel loved to watch flowers grow and bloom but she did also know how to conjure them. So with a smile she cast a spell to conjure a beautiful bouquet, but each flower would shimmer with golden petals.
