The Rooms of Antiquities, the pleasant female voice can be heard from the earbuds of the electronic tour guide, contain a number of peculiar objects, many of which are not, in fact, ancient.

"Yeah, but it's just flying. I don't want to have to sit on a pink, winged broomstick in order to do it. If there were an option to temporarily grow wings, I'd probably go for it, so long as the colours were okay."

"Thanks," he says, and then goes and sits on the ground, activating his staff and placing the change card near him. He starts to focus on his magic.
Change likes him! It also likes Sadde. It likes them both in different ways, and it sees neither of them as its master. It likes that Theo changes things so much, and it likes that Sadde changes so much.
It wants to change more stuff.

That seems pretty... simplistic, and obvious.
He comes out of the trance and hands the card back to Sadde, saying "I hope I get another chance to use it sometime."
