The process of engraving the spell took much longer than a day, slowly blending into a routine she followed over the next few days.
Morena woke, practiced, attended class, returned to her room, practiced again, exhausted her mana, meditated, then repeated the process until sleep took her. There was very little room for anything else.

They had invited her numerous times to join them for things, but each time she had kindly denied the offer with the excuse of practicing something.
Even during Verra's lessons, her attention was divided. She still listened and had the AI record and store anything that was useful, but beneath it all, a part of her mind kept circling back to the spell model.
