She produces several balls of very soft light that start drifting onto the floor or floating around much like the petals did which disappear after several seconds.

"Okay, thanks." Notes notes. "I'm going to be getting to know all of you. Please return to card form."

She does.

Let's try something a little stronger. Real magic. Not that spontaneous flowers aren't magic, come on brain. Not in his room, of course. That's asking for something to get destroyed.

The cards go in their book go in his backpack goes on his back goes out to the garage gets on a bike goes down a bike path and then cuts across a field and into the woods a little ways.

Elemental power is classic magic. Definitely not firey. Earthy could be dangerous. Watery and Windy seem relatively safe, and what can wind do out here besides blow some leaves around?

He digs out the card and calls, "Windy!"

And this time, instead of a woman or an inanimate object, what appears is wind. Lots of it. Lots of it. A whirlwind, centred on Terry—

—and the cards start leaving their hole in the book, one by one scattered not by the actual physical presence of the wind but rather by some form of magic that seems to be sending them in all directions, flying away and away from him.

Whatshitnonono- He stumbles back, drops the book, and grabs frantically at the flying cards.

He manages to grab one- But only one, and then they're gone.

He gets to keep Windy herself and the Float.

He stands back up and looks at Windy, still in card form. "Did you have to do that? And... Still a card. Hm."

And the card, predictably, does not answer.

The book, however, starts glowing.

He clutches both the Windy and Float cards quite tightly. And puts one foot firmly on the book. It's not escaping too.

No it's not.

Something small and round starts pushing against the sole of his foot, as if emerging from the book's cover.

Cards go in a coat pocket, which gets zipped. Then he gets ready to grab whatever that is, and steps off the book.

It is...

...a plush bear!

"What's uuuuuuup!"

He blinks. He says, completely deadpan, "The sky is up." 

Then he gives a short 'heh' and asks, "Are you The Teddy Bear?" Despite there not being such a card.

"No! I am Cerberus," 'Kerberos' "guardian of the Clow Cards!"

"Kerberos. Ah." He glances around, pats the two cards in his pocket. "There may be a bit of a problem."

"Problem?" he asks, stepping off the book, which stands up and opens all on its own. "What pr—" He looks at the inside of the book and screams.

"It happened when I tried to use Windy. I grabbed The Float, but the others..."

"What."

"I don't know how magic works. I found the book in a discount bin. I accidentally activated The Flower. I got all excited about magic being real. I biked out here and tried to call Windy. Then they got blown everywhere. That's all I know about what's going on and I hope you can answer some questions."

"...Sorry I lost your cards."

"How can you have lost them! They will bring catastrophe into the world!"

"Catastrophe? If they're that dangerous how can they be left in a used book store for anyone to get! Instead of, you know, being handled by an expert who knows how to magic unlike me!"

"The book was sealed! Only one of great magical potential could unlock it and go through me!"
