The object appeared to be a small silver box, its surface intricately decorated with swirls and flourishes, a little key on its right side. Upon turning the key, a faint chime began to play as the top of the box gradually opened to reveal two mechanical figurines dancing within, their hands joined as they pirouetted.
"How pretty", Adrien commented. "And I'm going to make it become silent? It seems almost sad...".
Val chuckled. "Would you rather cast the spell on an alarm clock?".
"Oh, please, no!", Adrien laughed. "Then I'd have to listen to it ring nonstop until I can cast the spell...".
"That is what I thought as well", Val smiled. He took the last sip out of his teacup and set it down on the saucer with a clink. "See, it all depends on how you use the spell", he then said. "You could use it to silence words you refuse to hear... You could also use it to turn off your alarm clock".
