Even in the midst of his studies, Avery heard the princesses' gentle footsteps and thought of her before chastising himself for getting distracted like that. Holding a tome in one hand, with the other aimed at a log being used as a test dummy, he muttered a series of indistinguishable words and tightening his grip on the tome. Then, with one flick of his hands-<br/><br/>Everything went white. Avery had discovered a new, powerful spell for sure. It had created a sonic boom of sorts, making a deafening noise and shaking the castle violently, luckily causing no damage to property or person. The explosion's range spanned just slightly outside the castle courtyard, spooking animals within it's vicinity. The flash caused by the spell soon faded, and left Avery himself flinching on the ground, temporarily both blind and deaf. Hopefully nobody else caught in the blast suffered a similar condition, or Avery would be in bigger trouble then he figured he was about to be in.
