Erin looked at me with great anticipation, waiting for me to cast the ice spell. I took a deep breath and began forming the spell within my body.
...Now that I think about it, I've never really tried to understand how magic worked. In the past, I recklessly tried to combine random segments of different spells. However, that experience was rather painful, thus I never tried that again.
There was also that time where I combined spells, casting the water spell then the ice spell soon after. The end result was a rather large chunk of ice. Yet, while I did those experiments, they were mostly on a whim, rather than any theoretical understanding.
For the first time, I decided to pay close attention to the actual formation of the spell, thanks to Erin.
My mind finished the ice spell and casted it.
I watched the formation intently.
