"You can do magic how is it not a benefit?"

"Yeah, but you can only do it with the cards, at least so far since we have no idea how the other thing works, and so it's not like you could do much with it anyway, is what I mean?"

"Just because you don't know how doesn't mean you stop, you figure it out!" She looks at her new twin. "You are going to learn how to do magic or so help me..."

Juniper laughs. "Yes, I will."

"Sounds like fun," says Jess, not wholly but pretty damned mostly insincerely, making a bit of a face. "I mean, it could be fun, depending on what you can get to do with it, but… uh, yeah."

"It's magic. It can, at the very least, create duplicates of people and also create things that only magical people can see. I'm pretty sure it'll be useful."

Tyler continues to stand in the background rather quietly.

"It can also make you shapeshift, control the elements, light and darkness, make things stop existing, conjure things, make you fly, float, or jump, lock places, cut things, protect things from being cut, et cetera, and that's just the cards, which were created via non-card magic, ssssooooo yeah. Maybe we should actually look into that, a bit."

"Unfortunately Kero isn't much help on that type of magic," says Theo. Not accusatory or anything, just… sighing a bit.

"Is it something you can maybe learn to do by just… uh, focusing on the mana or something weird like that? I don't know, does it feel like something when you use the cards?"

"I can meditate on the magic, yeah, but that doesn't seem to help much with actually using it so much as just detecting stuff with it?"

Jess decides that now is probably the time to mention, "Uh, this hallway's a little crowded – do you guys maybe wanna go sit down or something? If you plan on having some sort of discussion, that is, instead of just… getting me a twin."

"Our place's always an option, there's tea and cookies."

"Yeah, that works, uh, I'll just… let my mum know that I'm going out for a thing?"

"Yeah, um, actually– what are we gonna do about me? Like, mum has no idea that I exist or anything, so. Uh."

"Our mum took the news pretty well, but she's still not sure it isn't just some elaborate prank."

"Yeah, uh, I'm not sure it's gonna go quite like that with ours but I might be wrong."

"She mmmight be okay? She might just, you know, treat you like you're me?"

"There's a lot of space for Maya to live with us if she needs to, I'm sure Mum won't mind, she already has five of us. Six, counting Juniper."

"I'm nnot sure? It might be okay."

"Yeah, maybe," says Maya. "And I wouldn't want to impose."

"It's no imposition at all!"

"She could probably fit another thirty-five Twins in her house..."

Jess looks at Sadde a bit disbelievingly, then says, "Right, well, I'm off to tell mum."

And off she goes.

"Anyway, are there any other kinds of magic you can do at all than card magic?"
