Jayce is an academic so homework is second nature to him, which is probably why he took to magic so easily. Not everything he learned was from academic magic texts, he was trained personally by Himeka in healing, but when it came to enchantments that is what he needed. Kell snuck him some books and that is how he and Viktor became skilled at them.
He knows it's not for everyone though. Hilda is not alone in getting stuck in all the constant words and the practice required to just do the same spell over and over. He couldn't help but revert a little to Heimerdinger energy when he taught; for all his faults (and there were many), his former mentor was a great teacher, from his experience.
"Hilda, you're doing great, I promise. I didn't know how to do any magic before I got here. It doesn't come easily to some of us." Jayce did take to it pretty well, but that was because his passion for magic has always existed. He created Hextech to have even a little taste of magic in his hands, although it would never be real there. He was determined to become a mage here.
"I'm just trying to set you up with the basic knowledge first, but honestly half of it is practice doing the real magic." It's that knowing the words and the background make the likelihood of messing it up lesser. But it seems like she could probably use less words and more actions.
Jayce brought with them a few pieces that he created himself. He is not a jeweler but he's managed to make some decent bracelets with Luna metal for people. He also brought a few of his knives. All the enchantments were stripped off them. "Here let's actually try one."
They're in his lab at the moment since it is a safer environment than most for experiments. Although his first ideas aren't unsafe. "So you have to memorize the spell, but a lot of it is about confidence when you say it. Let's try a protection from tear. We'll put it on this bracelet." He brought several so if it goes wrong, they can keep trying.
He points to the spell and sets the one next to her. "When you succeed, you'll feel it in your gut, like it has flowed through you."
SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TIME IS FAKE UGH
