[ Is it that? Geralt's still uncertain. The magic of this world is different, more powerful, but he also knows, if it's the source as Thorne claims, then it must hold roots in the magic that he understands. And imbuing someone with an ability they didn't ask for, unnoticed—that just doesn't happen. It sure as fuck doesn't happen within the instant it takes for one to step through a portal. (He'd know. His own process had not been short, nor simple.)
Maybe it's both the combination of residing with Thorne's magic-soaked land and the portals. Hard to say. He'd need an actual experienced mage to consult. One better versed in the magic of this sphere in particular.
He shakes his head. No. ] Nothing. But that means little. Access to magic's always been limited for me.
[ It's no different here. He's tried. He has his Signs, and sometimes they flare stronger, but beyond that—the presence of the Singularity's not granted him anything more. He assumes, as he does most things that concern what he is or isn't capable of, that it's related to his mutations. It'd make sense. His kind were never created to possess magical aptitude and too much about him has already been forcibly changed long before he stepped into this world.
He frowns. How many others have been affected? In any case: ] I'd worry less about what shouldn't be and more on learning to control what already is.
[ Manipulating the weight of an object, like the ability to cultivate plants on a whim, seems harmless enough on the surface. Underneath, though—the potential for more is always there, especially when left unchecked. He's already stepped in some damn thorns that Jaskier hadn't meant to grow. ]
