*Ronan took the book in his hands, gently flipping it open and reading through the pages of the tome. His look made it clear he was intent, carefully reading through the contents of the spell book.*

"Channel magicka... Perform gestures... I could give this a try, but I'm not so sure I'll succeed. Do you have something I could test it on?"
Amy
"Try that lockbox."

*She pointed to a lockbox near a seat. She was using it for the prior student.*

"It's unlocked, just do your best to open it."

*Ronan took a deep breath, slowly letting it out as he held the tome open in one hand. With his other, he rose it up and attempted to replicate the gestures shown in the book. The lockbox lid began to shudder slightly, shaking. Slowly, it began to raise up, the hinges creaking as it opened. At first, Ronan was extremely tense. But as the lid rose up gradually, he began to relax, smiling. And then, there was a resounding, very loud creaking sound. The lid, halfway through opening, abruptly bent backwards further than it should. The lockbox lid burst off of its hinges and rocketed into the nearby stonework, thudding to the ground. The rest of it was still on the ground, tipped sideways by the force. Ronan looked confused.*

"Uh... Does that count for opening it?"
