Magic Items 2

The moment she draped it around her neck, she could sense the knowledge of how to use it flow into her as she gained the item’s ability. It felt like an extension of her own body, and just as she wasn’t frightened of her arms and legs, the sensation seemed utterly natural.

Next was the crown. There wasn’t any particularly special feeling when she put it on. But given the explanation she had heard, she figured it would be clear when something triggered it.

Finally, the gauntlets.

These, on the contrary, made for quite a vivid change.

Power welled up from inside her.

She had been on the receiving end of strength-boosting spells before, and this felt identical to that. Her movements grew faster and sharper, as if the amount of muscle in her body had suddenly increased. Not only that but she could make out smaller details, and it seemed like her heart and lung function had noticeably improved, giving her better stamina.

It was almost as if her body had suddenly gotten much stronger.

“Wow…”

She hardly noticed changes that resulted from training, since those increases were incremental. But this was such a dramatic improvement in ability that it was impossible to ignore.

The other surprising thing was that she didn’t feel any incongruity between herself of a moment ago and now; it had been a seamless transition.

“Magic is amazing…”
