Of course.

How were you able to use your third eye?

[onerthes]

My... oh, it is my eye, but it is also a gateway of magic of a sort. Certain spells are invoked through it. They say that it is because of our third eye that we can see the future in my world, and it is because of it that we have quite the talent for magic here.

...

Obviously, it is the latter at work here. I still can't see the future in this place.

[A look on his face Vira may have seen on her own at one point. The desperate want to have some of his abilities back]

But you were able to tap into your abilities, how?

[There's a hard face about even with that she can't see the future here]

[onerthes]

Some of my magic has worked since I arrived here. I... forgot my spells and my magic was blocked a few months ago, when we met. But I have had at least a little control over magic, though it is spotty and weak. It doesn't always work properly, at least not without the amulet.

The gem... I believe it was a gift of Sodder's. Painful to receive, but it lets me focus my spells more easily. They aren't quite so erratic, and it's been easier to remember them now that my memories are coming back from home.

[There's a look of - nothing is painful. Or least anything he'll admit too.]

How did you receive it?

[There's something of a crazed look of not telling isn't an answer]

TW: Mention of severe eye trauma

[onerthes]

I've seen the video footage. A crow appeared with my basket one day, touched the lid of my third eye and I literally had to tear it out, it becoming the gem. It was whole afterwards, but....

Well, I think you can imagine that tearing out your own eye is agony itself. [She shook her head.]

I had to ask Sodder. That much I am very certain about.

Re: TW: Mention of severe eye trauma

[borntolove]

[Sounds painful, yes but then his lives are pain. If that meant having his telekinesis back. Well, he could stand one of his eyes being pecked out]

[onerthes]

[She nodded back to him, holding the gem quietly for a moment before sighing. There was one other tidbit about all of this that she needed to mention.]

I am also sure about one thing. This won't work for someone else. You will have to get your own. It's probably part of me. I haven't seen anyone use one before, so I don't know if they're very common.

[borntolove]

[There's a head nod.]

Figured as much. Are brain waves are different. But gives me hope.

[onerthes]

Sodder is willing to give gifts if you ask. As much as I hate relying on them, it seems that only through the help of items like it are we even close to our normal power level.

And between several things that have happened, I haven't been able to properly use this and others until recently.
