"A big croaking toad has a nice ring to it" Nicola giggled wickedly as she ran her finger down the page to locate the spell she wanted "Let's try that one first"
"First?" James repeated nervously.
"Be very sure about this, these spells aren't pretend and some of them can be rather long lasting." Meredith warned with a sly smile, knowing her advice would be ignored.
"Let's just leave this and get back to the office shall we?" James suggested hopefully.
"We can do that a bit later, assuming they'll let me bring a toad in with me" Nicola joked "Ok, got it.."
Nicola fixed James with a mischievous smile and said the words out loud "Transformicus James Giganticus Bufo Croakus!"
There was a moments silence as nothing happened.
"See, I told you this was all made up nonsense. I mean that wording was a joke.." Nicola began before Meredith stopped her.
"Hold on, it's working!" The mysterious shopkeeper smiled cruelly.
