Tinasha:  The ring fell down with a tinkling noise, but the silver rim at the bottom blocked it from coming out. The silver rim must have been forged at the same time as the glass, because it was stuck fast to the inside of the sphere. The mages, given their task, picked the sphere up one by one and pondered over what to do. "All right, three minutes are up. Is everyone ready?" Tinasha asked, and the group nodded.

Tinasha:  Tinasha surveyed the nervous-looking bunch. "Then we’ll start. Five, four, three, two, one, go!"

Tinasha:  At the signal, all the mages began their spells.

Kumu:  Kumu used no incantation.

Sylvia:  Sylvia uttered short chants.

Renart:  Renart uttered short chants.

Kumu:  Kumu completed his spell the fastest.
gpt
Pamyra:  Pamyra completed her spell.

Tinasha:  The other three completed theirs at nearly identical times after that. Tinasha studied each spell design, and her eyes narrowed. "Kumu, Pamyra, and Doan are using a method to remove the silver rim. Kumu, your speed and stability are both strong. That’s to be expected… Pamyra, yours is a little too cautious but quite well-made. Doan, your decisiveness is good. You just need to shave off some excess in the third sequence."

Kumu:  The three felt relieved to hear such positive criticism. Mages did not normally undergo tests, and they were all quite nervous.

Tinasha:  "Renart’s spell will create a hole where there is none, then seal it up again once the ring is out. I guess you think you’re better at transmuting the glass than the silver rim?"
gpt
Renart:  "That is what I decided, yes."
human
Tinasha:  "I see. I like this change in thinking. The spell is well-made, too. Carry on."

Renart:  "Thank you."

Tinasha:  Last, the witch carefully examined Sylvia’s spell. Unfortunately, she nearly burst into laughter almost immediately.
gpt
Sylvia:  Shocked, Sylvia looked nervously from one side to the other.

Doan:  Next to her, Doan sounded stunned as he said, "Sylvia, that will break the ring."
gpt
Sylvia:  "What? But…"
human
Tinasha:  "It’s fine. I did say not to break the glass, but I didn’t say anything about not breaking the ring. Not bad. This one is the most interesting." Tinasha remarked, still giggling with delight.

Tinasha:  Within seconds, she had a spell drawn up in her right hand. She poured it into the glass ball, and the ring was sucked out right away. It had happened so fast it looked like teleportation, but the five mages recognized that she’d shrunk the ring, removed it, then restored it to its original size. The quintet of pupils let out cries of admiration. Shrinking spells were difficult and could not be used on living things or anything larger than a human hand. Such magic was so circumstantially useful that it was often forgotten. "Spell casting is the forging of your idea with your technique, so you should always be practicing. Okay, I’m giving this to Sylvia. I applaud your imagination." Tinasha praised, tossing the ring casually to Sylvia.

Sylvia:  Sylvia caught it with both hands. "Th-thank you!" she cried.
