Trinket studied the dummy in front of her for a long moment. Swinging the axe was hard. She had to make it easier.
She matched the stance Sah had shown her. Then, when she raised the axe, she commanded it: swing.
Her magic gave the axe movement that carried it along with her own swing. By itself, a command to the axe wouldn't give it much force. If the axe were laying on the ground, she would be able to make it wiggled and spin a bit, but not hard enough to even cut wood. But with the extra force from her magic, her swing was a bit stronger. Enough for her to finally land a solid blow against the dummy.
She tried to yank back on the axe, but it had embedded itself in the wood. She frowned, then commanded the axe to draw back, adding the power of her magic to her own meager strength once again. She pulled the axe free, but lost her balance, stumbling backwards and falling on her butt.
She frowned up at the dummy. It was too big for her to command. Otherwise, she would have knocked it over with her magic right then and there.
