"I couldn't," I uttered in a tone of disappointment and returned to the seat and buried my head in the pile of spell books on the table.
"Sage, listen, it's your first try, unless you were made with magic, it would always be hard on the first attempt, even though I had a hard time learning to control my powers so you should not beat yourself over it, follow me," she said, stretching out her hand towards me.
