That's why the bonds work so well, right? [He'll get a deeper crash course later but her still remembers some of what he's told.] Aren't your illusions doing magic, though?
[He's tried to understand it himself, by comparing the experience to the teachings they provide in the Coven, but...]
I've never done witch magic, but... I think it might work differently? Witches have to learn about spellcraft and all this stuff, but I barely have to think at all to do illusions. It just happens. It's taken some practice, but... maybe it's more like flexing a muscle than learning an equation?
Oh, yeah, you can do all kinds of stuff! I've been using it to turn invisible and sneak through the forest, or look like different people, or to make rooms look nicer...
They effect all of your senses so if you aren't a Fae like me you can't even really tell if it's real or not. Sometimes I wish I couldn't tell stuff was fake, because then I'd be able to eat whatever kind of illusion food I wanted!
[Priorities.]
I wish I still had my Gem powers from back home, but... it's interesting doing something totally different, too.

Kinda! How did they explain it... Monsters can't do magic, but they are magic? I don't totally get it, but... it's something like that.

[Just comes with the awful transformation consequences.]
... I was thinking I'd like to learn to make illusions too, after the dream we had. You can do a lot with them.

I couldn't do anything like this back home so it's all new to me. But it's kind of amazing being somewhere that everything has magic.
