Ha! It'll be fine, it's just an experiment. Hack the spell to bits in theory first, and then stick it back together again. You said up there that it's wand movements and incantations, so maybe work on the incantation part first, break it down into its component parts and see what does what in the spell, and I guess the movements would follow once you know what you're saying? Or are the movements more important than the incantation? Do you use the same movements for different spells? Record it all as you go, so you know what's been tried before.
As long as it's not the "people from the future" bit that you're objecting to.
