She nods. “Thank you very much. If you ever need me for something, feel free to call.”

She takes a breath, steels herself, and places a hand on the pillar.

Immediately she feels lighter on her feet. Like she could jump higher and run faster than she could before. She also gains an awareness of her surroundings even though they're behind her she knows exactly where the two people are. She also has a slight empty feeling like there's a space where something could be but instead there's nothing. Finally, she senses a pool of some sort of energy within her that wasn't there before.

What.

Okay. First step. Figure out what changed. Lighter on feet is easy to notice - can she actually just higher?

She tries jumping straight up, and seeing if it seems superhuman in anyway, normal, or like she did more physical activity than sitting at a desk.

If she's jumping as high as she can her jump carries her up 4 meters.

Well that’s sure something. Right, panic over extra magical powers later. Right now, figure out what they even are. Is running as boosted as jumping is?

She probably couldn't run at 26 kph before.

Well. No. Although, this isn’t actually mage-level, just someone-who-runs-a-lot level. Which is, quite irrationally, disappointing. 

Okay, she can sense people, which is a very odd sensation. Can she sense anything else? Can she stretch it farther? 

She can 'see' out in all directions, close by, within about 5 meters she can see through trees and other objects though not inside them. Past that her vision is obscured by objects like normal vision. She also has a sense that she could close these magic eyes if she wanted.

This could be incredibly useful. This is the kind of thing that saves your life! She is absolutely not closing those eyes.

Right. What else. The weird kind-of-uncomfortable empty feeling, and the weird pool-of-stuff feeling. Can she manipulate them at all? Push the pool into the emptiness?

When she focuses on the emptiness she can feel three types of slots. The most numerous are all empty, there's about a hundred. There's of another type of slot which is also totally empty that feels more convenient for some reason there's ten there. The third type of slots feel fuzzier like there isn't an exact number and some are filled. If she focuses she can recognize everything she's wearing in those slots. She could try moving one of those items to one of the other types of slots.

That does make sense? She tries moving one of her (less important) rings to a “more convenient” slot.

There's now a sense that she could call the ring to her hand if she wanted.

Did the ring disappear?!

Okay. Calm down. It’s some kind of - storage, is all. She calls it back to her hand.

It appears gripped between two fingers which moved of their own accord to hold it.

Well that’s extremely creepy.

Right. Okay. Sure. She’ll just. Move the ring to the “less-convenient” slot.

It vanishes from her fingers and now one of the slots is filled.

And if she moves it the the (clothing?) slot it was in?

It appears back on her finger. Right where it was before.

Did the vaguely convenient-feeling ones do anything different? Did it take longer?

She didn't feel like she could move the ring into her hand when it was in one of the less convenient slots. Also it takes most of her focus to move things around like this she wouldn't want to do it while she was busy. Calling the ring to her hand from the convenient slots on the other hand was effortless.

Weird. Useful, and creepy, but also very weird.

Right. The… pool of stuff. Does mentally poking it do anything?

Nope, she can feel that it's small and that it's full but poking at it doesn't yield anything.

Can she stir it? Boil it? Draw it out into the air?

It's stubbornly static.

That’s aggravating, but there are probably more urgent things to worry about, like what she’s going to eat. Convenient berry bushes tat she recognizes as edible are probably too much to hope for, but she’ll check anyway!
