A circular blast catapulted from the tip of Torrid's wand and surrounded his complete body in a transparent energy source. It was a energy shield to block his body from any contact of heat, cold, rain, fire, wild, or physical projectiles. It was usually used on an extremely small scale basis, but the Ravenclaw had gradually increased the size until it was enough to cover his whole frame. Now that he had protection, he would create his next trial.
"Maximus incendio!"
Flames erupted all around him. The Ravenclaw was consumed in a huge blue fire, the flames thrashing about violently, flickering like a hungry serpent's tongue. The shield was blocking out the heat and fire from touching the boy's skin. He felt the spell, very slowly, weakening as the heat started to rise. Torrid couldn't peer through the roaring inferno, but he knew that he would have to put it out before it got out of hand.
"Maximus hudoris!"
Water crashed into the fire like a wake of a flood. It swarmed the fire, clashing and biting the element. Torrid felt weak by summoning such a huge wake of water. The water inhaled the fire inside it, consuming the heat in a cool envelopment that extinguished the massive inferno. Smoke fumed into the air as water streamed through the meadow, creeping over the edges and watering into the plants. The ground in a radius of five yards was completely void of vegetation, the heat stealing the life of the grass and flowers. The air was grey from the wafting fumes.
"Relashio shilidis!"
Torrid was released from the energy shield, and he dropped to the ground, completely exhausted from the spells he had performed. They were relatively small scale to what had been performed by the great wizards of the past, but he had almost completed a phase to great magical power. His hands pressed against the scorched grass, feeling the lifelessness of the terrain as he breathed heavily, taking in the polluted oxygen and examining the after effects of the spell.
As he had planned, the damage was contained into a radius of five yards. Besides the air being filled with smog and smoke, the experiment had left the woods relatively unscathed. The boy slowly stood up, his knees wobbling and sore from the drain of his energy.
"Katharios anemos!"
The smog faded into the air, and Torrid felt as if more of his energy had just been drained. He felt extremely exhausted and perhaps slightly emotionally drained from his endeavor. For his last spell to clothe the woods of the plantation he had stripped it of, he pointed his slender wand to the ground.
"Orchideous!"
From the ground bloomed a wide array of beautiful flowers, creeping through the seemingly infertile ground and budding into adult plantation. Torrid fell down to his knees, completely exhausted from his training exercise. After three years of hardcore magical repetition and training, he felt that this was a small reward repaid. Crawling over to his messenger bag, he lay his moppy hair on the light fabric, drifiting into a nap. He had cleared his schedule so that he could stay out here in the beautiful woods for a few hours. Fading into a dream, the Ravenclaw smiled amidst his success.
He would one day be that hero.[/ul]DERP!
