Chapter 187
Aaliyah
I looked down at the book and read through the spells over and over again until I memorized the words in my head before closing my eyes. Murmuring the words under my breath, I felt the pull of the magic, and when I opened my eyes, I found her dress looking worn and old. Then the dress started to look brand new again, and when I reached out to touch it, it reverted to how it was.
"But there is one place where you are lacking," she said. "The pronunciations."
"I didn't think it would affect the spell."
"It will," she replied. "If you want your spell to last longer, your pronunciations must be correct. The dress isn't supposed to return to normal at your touch. You should have to say a spell first for it to return. You should redo it."
