No, none of the spells you're undoubtably working on would cause this. Unless I've vastly underestimated Abraxan magic. This feels like some kind of innate ability coming to the surface.

It's not unheard of back home. Usually individuals who work closely with other magic users can sometimes develop a sense of it themselves. Certain skills get activated. Magic can be...contagious?

My guess is that what is what happened to you. There certainly isn't a lack of magic around here, from practitioners to magical creatures. You may develop more than one skill.

He focused in again on that feeling she was getting. It wasn't quite like anything he'd experienced himself, but that didn't mean he couldn't guess. At the very least he had a bit more knowledge of magic than she did, even if it may or may not be applicable.

You're probably picking up on the psychic residue even before you're touching it. Does it bother you?

Kelson relaxed by stones, trying to look like they were just enjoying the sunlight, watching the flowers, and the birds. Nothing to see here.

This place does change people, the connection to the Horizon does it. Which would explain her new skill. Seeing in the dark was just as sudden, although it didn't need control. It simply was. This would require a little more finesse.

She bunched a bit of her skirt around her hand and touched the stone again. Thankfully nothing. So she'll also just need to have gloves for the future. While she gains more control over this.

It's... the next few thoughts aren't even remotely English, raw frustration that slips her back into ASL-brain for a moment. She takes a breath, I can't really find the right metaphor that will make sense to you. But I can feel... life? That's what it is, a tiny little run of power around it. Like it wants me to know it matters?

She lets her eyes linger on the stone a few moments longer before going back to looking at the gardens. Thorne was beautiful, even after what happened. It was impressive, what they did here. Even if she knows how it was done would probably churn her stomach from what she knows of the Queen.

Really? Kelson piled away that bit of information for later. It wasn't just his world then. Magic really was contagious. He watched her as she touched the stone again and didn't react. Alright. So it was either something she needed to actively trigger or the energies in the stone were shifting. Or both?

And then Bay switches to ....not english. He waits, trying to sort out the images and then she changes back. It's alright. Take your time.

She explained. She could feel life? He took a moment to think about it. He wouldn't have put it that way, but it wasn't his magic. He'd take her at her own experience. Do you know what triggers it?

The Singularity ties us here, and with that it sometimes changes us. Little things. Either it's trying to help us, or we're helping ourselves through it. That was her experience anyway, she could see in the dark. For a girl who needed to see to communicate, it was very useful to never worry about the time of day or life of her lantern.

I know that it's inanimate objects, that I need them to touch my skin, and I think objects a lot of people touch don't do this. Which is to say no, she doesn't know what triggers it. But everything she's touched hasn't been... common. It doesn't happen in the kitchen when she handles everyday spices and tools. And the bookstores and libraries only happen with books rarely touched.

Wait, the Singularity is sentient? Or is it in a more instinctual manner? That was a whole avenue he had never even explored. Magic as a sentient.....creation? It boggled his mind honestly. So to go home, we need to modify the Singularity?

He wasn't staying here. He had absolutely no intention of getting comfortable. He had a kingdom to get back too, and it would only wait so long. My guess would be a strong emotional connection or moment on behalf of whatever individual left the ...thread. But it could also easily be something on your end. Sorry, I know I'm not much help.

It's aware, at least. Sentient is a little too complex for her to confirm without trying to- connect to it. It was clear it did a lot here, so much hung on it. I wouldn't meddle with it lightly, that- vision, after the monsters. I think that all was someone trying to mess with it.

Probably something left behind, Not all of them had felt emotionally impactful. They had something to them, a thought or feeling hanging to the object like a fingerprint. Even if she was drawing them out, she wasn't making them herself. I at least have someone else who can see I'm not crazy. I'll be happy with that.

I don't think anyone particularly likes being meddled with, sentient or aware at the very least. It didn't occur to Kelson at all that he was a giant hypocrite for suggesting such, as he routinely meddled with people's minds. At least at home.

You are very much not crazy. I assure you. Kelson broke the bond, moving his hand slightly away from hers, aware of just how odd it must look to anyone possibly watching that they were just, staring at eachother silently.
