( river's not the only one amazed, heather watching rapt as the book slides easily out of the bag as if the sizes were not incorrect. she's a little stunned, and maybe that belief hadn't quite sunk in yet. she believed the words but seeing it--

but it had only been several days and expecting herself to not react felt foolish. maybe river's always enchantment by magic was right -- it was incredible )

I used a magic paintbrush. ( her voice is a little more distant as she takes the book, turning it over in her hands, distracted slightly from her story by her wonder ) I'd somehow gotten into an art class, I didn't realise it was magic until it started using different colours than I'd put on it.

( that had been her first experience. her first experience that she could understand, the library books had just been irritating. she looks back up from the book at her )

Is it potions that you're learning or a different spell?

( did people learn multiple things? could they choose? too many questions )
