"Oh that could work!"

"Would it do same as at the house, lock the whole bag magically and not just strengthen the padlock?"

"Yeah, that's what it does."

"I will look into getting a padlock then," he says. "Any chance the Shadow conceptually does stealth, or the Glow does – attracting attention?"

"What do you mean, conceptually?"

"I mean, you said they have – sort of domains, if I recall correctly? You can use some cards to do things they're not directly of, though they're not as good as specialised equivalents."

"Oh. Right. Hmm, I don't know... You can use the Shadow to affect things remotely, like through glass or something... But I don't know about stealth."

"Would it be easier for me or for Theo to try? I'm assuming him."

"Yeah."

So Theo gets the Shadow out of his bag and then says the annoying phrase to turn the key into the stupid pink staff and then – "The Shadow, I command you to aid me in stealth."

The Shadow... does not know what to do with such a vague command.

"… I command you to cloak me in shadow?"

It does, and Theo is... shadowy.

He looks at his hand.

Is he at all hard to see or would this only be helpful at night?

This would only be helpful at night.

"Works for if we want to sneak around at night," he says, and wills it away.

Away it goes.

"I think glow can only do the glowing balls."

Theo swaps it for the Shadow anyway and asks that it try to make him seem more noticeable.

Glowing balls!

"Thank you, Glow, that'll be all."

Disappear!

"And – the Twin won't work on cards, apparently you said it doesn't work on magical objects? Do you know why it works on magical people?"

"It doesn't copy the magic, it gives the copy its own magic."

"… Can it do that with copies of objects?"
