They have hammocks they set one up for her.

That is very nice of them. Do they want to check whether she had lifeforce for sorcery now, or later on?

Now is good. Would she mind standing on another circle while they do seemingly random things to produce magical effects?

She would not mind! She stands where they indicate, and cooperates with instructions.

And soon enough: magic! In the form of a tiny glowing ball of light that she can move around and change color, it leaves her feeling like she is making a physical effort like holding her hand, but nothing hard to manage.

Exciting! (She may be fluttering her fingers, a bit.)

She swirls the ball around in the air, then pulls it into a blobby spiral. Can she make it brighter or dimmer, or multiple colors, or separate pieces?

She can't do separated pieces. But drighter and dimmer are easy. Multiple colors is trickier, giving a gradient effect.

She tries to make a dim twist of orange light, with attached spheres transitioning through yellow to white. Once she thinks she knows enough to figure out more later, she remembers herself and pauses.

"Thank you! Will I be able to do this on my own? Is there more I should try, or know, or do? How can I be appropriately cautious?"

"As long you do the ritual right. We probably should try rituals that test your other non-youth lifeforce aspects. The important thing with sorcery is not to overexert yourself and only try well-designed rituals."

Serious nod. She tries to stop doing the light, to pay more attention.

The light winks out.

Oh good.

"What should I try first? Or should I wait?"

"Try with sorcery?"

"Yes, unless I ought to be trying or doing something else first?"
