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.)
It's never been something that I wanted to do because I just thought I couldn't.
( so, he'd put it out of sight, out of mind. when everything started happening in new york, he couldn't really say he didn't believe in magic but it was separate from him, something he couldn't do.
until now. even though he hasn't figured out what skills he might end up with, just being able to create things in the horizon is more than he's ever done before. )

I've always wanted to do magic.

Magic exists where you're from?
