Magic, Aurelia thinks, is strange. It's so fickle, yet so obedient. It is strong, yet it can also be weak. But she never expected herself to have this same problem. It is like there are days when she holds a lot of power; then there are also days where she can't even summon a weapon. And today is one of those days. Each Homo Magi (as their people are called) gets a weapon; something that represents their magic and their strength. It can be anything, from a sword to a dagger to a bow or an arrow.

Clara uses a dagger; it is beautifully carved and has a double edge to it, to cause double the harm.

But Aurelia is unable to summon anything, let alone a stick. The ability to perform the spell appears to have disappeared from her body; she knows it is making her aunt angry. She knows Clara will not be patient anymore. So she tries again.

I hold my strength, I hold my heart. My strength is in....

But Aurelia Hall fails again; not even a spark is produced. She looks towards her aunt, who is staring at her with a scarily angry face. "I can't," She says. "I just can't do it."

"Again," Clara says with glare. "You will try. Again."

"Clara, I...I can't," Aurelia doesn't look at her aunt; she can't. There is a reason why criminals find Lumiere intimidating and she doesn't want to find out what it is.
