"Oh! A phoenix!"

"Where?"

She points in its direction, though it is not currently visible. "That way. I like it. I want to copy its magic."

Now, can she copy its magic with only one phoenix to go on...? One way to find out.

It is possible she will screw up. If she does, she can just ask to be teleported away and back.

That turns out to happen.

"I messed up the reflection again. Can we go away and come back so I can try again?"

"Sure." Port! Port!

She tries again.

This time it works. Hooray!

"Can you copy magical features onto anyone other than yourself?"

"I don't think so. I wouldn't know how to try," she says. "When I change a reflection it doesn't change the reflected thing."

"But it's different if you change your reflection?"

"Yes..."

"Hm. I wouldn't know where to go from there either."

"It would be strange if I was a shifter and a shaper... but..." She trails off contemplatively. "I guess I am probably a Legendary Talent. This is the sort of thing Legendary Talents do. But I am only a shifter one so far."

"Ah. That hadn't been clear."

"I wasn't really thinking about it. I don't feel very legendary."

"I suppose that makes sense."

Nod.

"Although becoming immortal might tend to remind you of it."

"Hm?"

"You said you copied a fairy's lifespan."

"Yes..."

"Fairies can still be killed by malice or accident, but are often referred to as immortal because of their indefinite lifespans."

"I have the phoenix thing too now," she says. "If I had a lot of phoenixes and a lot of fairies and a lot of unicorns in front of me... and maybe some of those moths or those snakes... then I could put together a way to make lots of people really immortal just by touching them."

"Hmm. For what particular reasons would it have to be a large number of each?"

"Sometimes if I mess up the reflection I can use a bit of another reflection of the same kind of thing and not have to go away and start over. If I only had one of each I would have to go away and start over a lot."
