Cayn would incline his head.  His own hand pointed out towards the object and would make the light of the pencil go out like it had been snuffed out.  "Keep practicing," he said with a smile.  It was an encouraging gesture, one meant to prod her into more action.  "It's a good start, though.  It's a useful spell, but it lasts longer on more expensive and durable items.  Gemstones hold the spell very well.  I've used similar in some of my private abodes."  He leaned back in the chair, gesturing for her to continue.<br/><br/>"Perhaps another spell?" Cayn said.  "After all, you'll need to practice them all to get a mastery of such a thing.  You'll want to know how these spells work backwards and forwards in order to utilize them in any given situation.  Mastery of magic comes with time, training, and willpower."
