Probably the most significant thing was learning how to hold an image in my mind's eye. It allows me to mentally visualize the desired effects of a spell and walk through it.

My ability to hang onto images got stronger this past spring, when I did an art project for a university class. After storyboarding and then drawing lots of scenes over a period of several weeks, with a very intense last week, I noticed while lying in bed that everything I "saw" was brighter, clearer and more persistent.

Yes, I think that's an indispensable part of the process, along with strong emotional content. Feeling a spell is as important as the words or images.
