Yes, don't be surprised if you end up with several unexpected gifts. I don't think anyone knows why exactly it happens, only that sometimes we suddenly get them.

( It's magic. And the Singularity. Jayce hasn't learned of his newest ability since nothing has happened to set it off yet, but he has trained in several other spells and magic in Cadens. It's what he's always dreamed of. He assumes they might have a way for blind people to learn the same magic, but that is something Matt would have to talk to the academy or libraries about. They're very helpful. )

I came out with natural healing magic, no spell required. It is exactly what I would have asked for, so I'm not sure if the Singularity just granted my unspoken wish.

( Jayce was already interested in medicine and healing before that for Viktor, but the fact he came out of the Horizon already powered was hugely helpful. He never thought of himself as a natural healer, but now it seems he really is. And he enjoys it, it feels right, somehow.)

But you still have to put the work in to strengthen what you're given, like with any skill I guess. I've spent months practicing, now I'm pretty good at it. It's ... really beautiful, actually.

( He sounds wistful and a little bit in love, which might sound strange for something general like magic, but that's Jayce.)

I've always wanted to do magic.
