Sit down, I guess.

-Sits across from her-

...How did it feel, when you made your hand?

It felt like... like the world finally decided to listen to what I wanted.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

But — what it felt like, making it listen to you.

I felt... it was like a buzz. A warm buzz, right... here.

-Frowns, considering this- That's different than the way I do it.

All magic comes from the Lifestream. Interacting with materia or reaching through your own knowledge lets you use energy from the Lifestream to manipulate things around you. That phenomenon is called magic. The materia has memories of spells, or old stories, or things from the world inside them. The Lifestream lets you use that knowledge as your own, until it actually becomes yours.

I just reach for a place in my head that didn't used to be there before, and another place that lets me nudge around the first one, and I just force it out.

I don't know how I do it. It's like I'm dreaming, and everything that happens makes perfect sense.

Sometimes I forget it's fake.

I wouldn't know how to do something like what you did with your hand. I mostly just use it to fight. Sometimes to cook. Something like that seems... complicated.

-Scratches his neck- Maybe you're just better at it than I am.

Or maybe you're different. Usually, humans can't learn magic without materia, and that's how I learned what I know too. Spells don't really get "invented", I just think up different ways to use the ones I already know with the magic I can do. But you don't even know what one is, and you've never studied magical theory, and you've never had to pull memories from anywhere to do it, so maybe you're more inclined towards learning it than I am.

What's something I can try to do? Something easy? Something that won't turn me into a wall.

...Healing isn't that easy, but it's safer. If you don't heal something right, nothing happens. Fire or lightning would probably be the easiest, but if you don't control it right you can lose a hand.

-Pauses-

It's okay.

I did it to myself. I don't get to be mad about it.

Right, so... have you ever healed anything before?

I don't know if I can.

I can change things, though. That's what my powers do. Maybe I can change hurt things so that they become not hurt.
