Her finger slipped

Her finger slipped. The orb that she had be so delicately balancing as she carved the spell disappeared. She dropped her hands in frustration. She was an hour into that spell that time. "This is impossible!" "It's not impossible, you just have to be." "What does that even mean? You just have to be." She mocked the lady in the mirror, her teacher. "This is something that you have to master. Now again." She growled at the lady. A ring of embers surrounded her. "Now." "Who died and left you in charge." She made a face, then cringed as the embers turned to one foot flames. "Okay, okay." She sighed and started again. Maybe this time.
