I frown. How am I ever to remember potions names like these? I have to though so I can carry on my mother's legacy. Maybe I can shy away from options and pretend to have a magical disliking to them like my friend Rose did. I never really see Rose anymore since we moved so we can complete my mother's legacy. My mother legacy of being the only mage with enough power to teach a person anything with one touch. It's a weird kind of magic that involves dark energy to use. I am not allowed to cast spells like my mother or make potions with that kind of magic until I am twenty. I sigh and close the old tattered book. I am sitting on the window seat in my bedroom still and I move the book over and put another one on my lap. My favorite book of magic, the book of spells. I open to a random page and begin to read.

It's amazing that I can do all these spells with just a flick of my wand. I can point anywhere with it and do any spell. I smile and glance out the window to see and odd sight. My mother the mage is outside with a new student on the lawn. She is teaching him how to shoot arrows with the spell fireaarrowshoot. He isn't doing very well and instead is shooting cats from his wand. The strange part is the black haze around his wand. Black hazes only happen when the wands magic is being over used. I shut my book quickly but before I can get downstairs, the wand disintegrates. I never saw my mom again.
