Cam is dipping a grilled cheese sandwich into a bowl of tomato soup when he feels the summons. He goes ahead and grabs it. Doesn't even drop the sandwich.
Cam and Sable in Terraria

"Fair enough. Should I hand over my tail now, then, lest you be bored between now and lunchtime?"

"Let's see if I can do this without bleeding too much."
He manages without bleeding too much. There is spontaneously appearing gauze involved. He hands her his tail.

Cam leaves her to it and goes to amuse himself chez soi until it is lunchtime. He comes over with a stack of books.

Sable is sitting at her tinkering desk with Cam's tail and a tray of small glowing orbs in various colours, plus some other miscellaneous piles of mysterious junk - thin iron chains, coils of rope, what appears to be a small heap of aglets.

"Yes!"
She closes the orb tray and turns her chair to face him.
"What's for lunch?"

For dessert he makes ultra-dense chocolate layer cake. "I miss my tail already," he remarks. "It's so waggable."

"I'm doing pretty well with it," she says. "The thing is that an accessory as clever as wings should have an effect, and there aren't any existing tail accessories for me to go off of - actually - I have an idea, hold on."
She abandons her cake and darts out of the room, returning a moment later holding a flipper, a frog leg, and a pair of ice skates. With these, she sits down at the desk, clearing away the chains and rope but leaving the tray of souls and pile of aglets.
Wearing a look of deep concentration, she stares at the pile of flipper, frog leg, ice skates, and tail. She opens the tray of souls and adds one pink one, one purple one, and one dark blue one. She sweeps up the pile of aglets and counts out three into the tail heap, then adds two more.
Aglets, orbs, tail, skates, frog leg, and flipper all vanish, replaced by a version of Cam's tail with a smooth bloodless stump. She picks this up and presents it to him triumphantly.

...Cam gingerly takes the tail. "I'm. Confused about the ingredients that went in there."

"The flipper, frog leg, and ice skates are movement accessories - better swimming, better jumping and landing, better movement on ice. The aglets make you faster. I think the souls are necessary for it to be a real appendage the way wings are, and not just something you stuff in your pocket. All together it's - well, that."
The Demon Tail (it informs him) is an accessory which improves balance and coordination, movement speed, and ability to maneuver in liquids or on ice.
Sable settles in to eat her cake.

Cam blinks at The Demon Tail and then attaches it and wags it. "Huh. I wonder if it's good enough to let me run. Or ice skate."
greatestgift
"Try it," she suggests.
It's very waggable. And it certainly seems to think he can run. In much the same way that the wings contain unobtrusive usage notes on how to flap them, the tail contains unobtrusive usage notes on how to move his entire body to achieve desired results.

"I will go have a test jog after I've finished my cake."
He finishes his cake. He goes out and flutters to the ground and ices nearby slimes and breaks into a jog.

No clumsiness occurs.
The Demon Tail is highly effective! He can run really fast, and will not run into any things without deliberate effort.

Heeee.
He runs for the snow biome.
He makes an ice skating rink, leaps into the air, and lands with skates on.

Skating is easy.
(The snow biome contains ice slimes. Icing these is entirely harmless to them. Scrunch, wiggle, hop. They're actually very pretty - all frosted and sparkling.)

(Cam sets them on fire, and fills in any gaps that result in his rink.)
