Richard set into motion.
First, he found a square glass container from the shelf and placed it on the circular experiment table. Then, he lifted the bag of flour he had collected earlier and poured it into the container, followed by an appropriate amount of water to maintain a roughly 2:1 ratio of flour to water.
He stirred the mixture with a glass rod, blending the flour and water to create a paste-like substance.
Richard observed the contents of the container, stroked his chin, and in the next moment, he cast a spell. He manipulated the paste to levitate out of the container and into mid-air, transforming it into a round shield.
Extending his hand, Richard tentatively touched it. It was obviously soft, easily penetrable.
Withdrawing his hand, Richard clenched his fist and struck out with increased speed and force.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed as the paste quickly solidified, resembling a white monolith sculpted into a stone shield.
"Hmm—"
