"Um...I have only fanfic to guide me there. What does it feel like when you try to summon it?"

"Uh." She concentrates on her hands, trying to will magic to them. Mostly just by thinking really hard.

A feeling floods through her veins. It feels- strong, tingly, and powerful. 

And weirdly blue.

Above all, it gives her ideas on how to channel it, Tabs does look rundown, perhaps a stamina spell? There is a patch of uneven dirt that could be levelled with a small application of primal abilities?

!!!!!!!!!!

"Hey Zeus. I can, like, stamina you up. Can I???"

"I don't know, can you? Or are you gonna set me on fire?"

"I can! And no fire! Figured consent would be polite, probably."

"Then have at, personal heroin."

"Does that make you a lion?"

She focuses on the magic and shapes (?) it into what feels Stamina and channels it to Tabs.

All of a sudden, her limbs feel stronger, every inch of tiredness is swept from her, feeling like she's had a full, restful night of sleep. 

"...holy shit. You're like, espresso, without the side effects."

Eeeeeeeeeee.

"I'm magic!!!!!"

"YOU'RE MAGIC!" Tabs shouts, flinging herself into Anya's arms. 

And then immediately pulls back. "Fuck, probably shouldn't have yelled that, ey?"

Nope, she is being pulled and hugged excitedly.

"Don't care, I'm magic." Though she does whisper.

"You're magic!" Tabs says back, in an affected whisper. "What else can you do? Maybe we should head out to the Wounded Coast, let you rip!"

"Yes!!! We should one hundred percent do that. Maybe clear out a cave or something. And I can, like, mess with the earth? I'm not sure. I feel like I should definitely do more tests. Do science to magic."

"Huh. Being able to manipulate the earth but in only certain spots is such a handy power. Plus, magical lightning could be an amazing source of electricity."

"I dunno if I can produce electricity yet, I'm not super keen to practice here. But this is so awesome. What about you? Can you poke at your inner self and produce any cool tricks?"

“Yeah, let’s not destroy Merrill’s room.”

Tabs thinks, pulling at her knowledge. “Nothing I can really demonstrate, not like you. I guess I’ll get to show off when we start a fight!”

"You should train me to kick butt! In case I run out of mana or something. Which would be terrifying!!"

“Hmm. And a staff isn’t too different from a two handed sword. Unless I know how to fight with a spear?” 

She pokes her skills. 

“Huh. Any and all two handed weapons. That’s handy. Also apparently you can be skilful with a giant mallet.”

"Hot. You should wield a giant mallet. It would be adorable and terrifying." She pokes at her own skills. "Can I do the cool staff thing? The spinny, stabby thing?"

Anya is very talented at staff work, casting her spells with flair. However, she has no melee skills. 

The Templars wouldn’t be that supportive. 

"Huh. No stabby staff stuff. But I can be all fancy with it. I guess that makes sense. Sheltered Circle mage and all."

“You’ve got my help, now. Plus, we’re already good friends with Merrill, who’s been an apostate her whole life. She can probably help out with things I can’t teach you.”

Anya snuggles close to Tabs.

"That works. Though really fucking weird because Merrill," she shakes her head. "This is insane."

Tabs wraps her arms tightly around Anya. “Tonight, we figure out what’s going on with Kirkwall and everyone. Tomorrow, let’s hoof it out to a Templar free zone and go absolutely hog wild with magic and staff stab training.”
