In this room are two women, one gray and sixty years old, one just thirty and red-haired, both wearing elaborate outfits. The younger casts a spell.
In this room is now also a third person. (On whom the elder woman promptly also casts a spell, which she had at the ready.)

"Like that. Earth has lots of books with magic in them and none of it's ever really existed."
"That would be amazing," giggles Annei.
Terali is thoughtfully tapping her notebook with her graphite stick.

"I promise I will teach it good magic," says Matilda. "Nice magic. No fireballs."
"Doesn't it already know fireballs?" asks Annei.
Everyone nods.

"So we learned teleporting, that's pretty good for a first lesson. What else do we want to try?"
"My little cousin's books are about conjuring up animals and stuff from nothing and having them do stuff for you," says Sarsia. "I don't immediately know what I'd do with it besides become his new favorite person, but it's an idea."
"I haven't actually read the books but I don't think they mind," says Sarsia dubiously, but she shrugs.

"Still. There's other stuff. I think I'd have to go home and reread some things to come up with magic from Earth book's that's both useful and nice..."
Terali contributes, "There's a kind of magic that only merfolk here can normally use that does nothing at all but change the colors of things."

"I don't know how useful that is but it sounds neat and it's definitely nice enough," says Matilda. "Okay. I'll try changing the colours of some things."
She looks around for objects to recolour.

This room contains paper, walls, a waterspout, books, various people's clothes, carpet, paperweights, and Terali's half-empty packet of seaweed snacks.

Matilda points to the paper.
"Actually, I think I want to see what happens if one of you tries to teach ialdae something, instead of me," she says. "Try to colour the paper with it."

Annei takes the paper and stares it down. Rrrrrr.
It takes a couple of degrees.
And then pinkness bleeds into the paper.
Annei grins. "Woo! I'm going to start doing my makeup like this every morning."
Sarsia takes another sheet of paper and turns it green after about a degree of staring.
