how did this asylum become where i sleep
Truth be told, she'd never really given her magic much thought until recently. It had always just been a distant part of her, a part that she never really considered much use. It was only after seeing a stranger using his magic to fix things that she really began to question what she could do with hers. All she'd come up with so far were parlor tricks.
Alys pulled her bowl closer and stared into her stew glumly, her mouse disappearing with her good mood. It was just illusion magic. None of it was real. She'd seen people do remarkable things with magic. They just... weren't her.
She scooped up a spoonful of stew and blew on it gently; hers was piping hot, having just been brought to the table, and she wasn't a fan of burning the top of her mouth. After a moment, she swallowed a spoonful. It was tasty. But before she could eat more, she realized that Tal was kindly trying to be helpful, and so she merely stirred her stew distractedly as she thought. "I... don't know," she said. "I thought of using it to show people things, but... I haven't been able to figure out how. Like - with the cards I was telling you about. To provide wisdom or, or - food for thought, at least, but in a visual form?" She sighed, shaking her head. "I don't know. It's probably stupid."
