Chapter 135: Ritual - Part 3

"How am I supposed to destroy this?"

Though Luke did say I should use my magic to destroy it, he didn't tell me how. How am I supposed to destroy this stone when I can barely let my magic in and out at will?

I stared at the magic stone in my hand, turning it around to examine its body. When I got a closer look, I realized that the stone wasn't black at all, but rather transparent. The black magic flowing inside the stone was what made it appear to be the color black.

I put the stone back to the ground, took a deep breath, then yelled out as I pointed at the stone, "Shatter!" Nothing. "Destroy!" Nothing. "Perish!" Nothing. "Gone!" Still nothing.

Am I even doing it right? I've heard about how witches often use a magic spell of some sort to perform magic, but why is this not working?  What's the point of finding the magic stones if I don't know how to destroy them? I sighed.
