It didn't last long, frankly.
Val only made it through the first couple of bars before the illusion shimmered and vanished. Or, perhaps more precisely, "reappeared." Certainly that hadn't been long enough to make it of any utility...even given the questionable utility of this exercise in the first place. She'd have to try and cast a stronger version of the spell, perhaps using Channel, for this to work at all.
It wasn't, after all, as if she had expected it to work perfectly the first time. Nonetheless, however, Valanthia was somewhat disappointed. She was a perfectionist, after all, and even if she was able to learn well from her mistakes and failures, that didn't make her any happier about them.
She heaved a deep, heavy sigh, and then worked on clearing her mind again. Attain clara, that was the first step. Then she could focus on casting the spell better this time.
