Magic For me magic is like... it's a little like music. It's in the air and it's all around, but you have to be able to gather your will and focus to be able to hold all the strings in your hand and play too.
She had a tattoo on the left side of her neck in the shape of a slithering serpent, and I could see the barbs and curves of some kind of tribal design flickering out from the neckline of her tank top. Another design, whirling loops and spirals, covered the back of her right hand and vanished up under the sleeve of the jacket.

Home This time, we appeared in front of a Chicago home. There were a couple of ancient oak trees in the yard. The house was a white Colonial number with a white picket fence out front, and evidence of children in the form of several snowmen that were slowly sagging to their deaths in the warm evening air.

Molly was dressed in her battle coat, which consisted of a shirt of tightly woven metal links, fashioned by her mother out of titanium wire. The mail was then sandwiched between two long Kevlar vests. All of that was, in turn, fixed to one of several outer garments, and in this case she was wearing a medium-brown fireman’s coat... She had half a dozen little focus items I’d shown her how to create, none of which were precisely intended for a fight. Her face was a little pale, and her blue eyes were earnest.

Molly gave me a vague nod, and finally lowered the little wands as the kenku’s charge drove into the Red Court and took the pressure from our flanks. The tips of her wands, both of them made of ivory, were cracked and chipped.

Wands, updated She still wore her ragged clothing beneath the coat, but she’d added a nylon-web tactical belt to her ensemble. It bore several potions, which she’d always been good at making, and a pair of wands covered in rows of runes and sigils like those on my own staff. One was tipped in a crystal of white quartz, the other with an amethyst.

A plain strip of leather, all that remains from a beaded bracelet Harry made her where when she first started as his apprentice. She wears it to always rememberwhy it was important to use power. In Luceti, she finds it on the first day and attaches a crucifix to it.
About the size of a penny, this was found on Day One with Harry in the Item Shop. A gift from her mother and father Molly hadn't seen or thought about in a long time, so she finds it strange that it followed her here and a bit ominous. She feels strange wearing it around her neck, since it's not just fashion jewelry but a statement of faith in a faith that she is still struggling with, but she can't just leave it in a box either, so she fashioned it as a charm onto her leather bracelet.
Created in her sixth month in Luceti after about two months of bonding with Tsinku, these jacks will release lightning when thrown. The spell was designed to release the lightning at the point of contact and will not activate unless the command for releasing the bound energy is also spoken.
As of 10/18/12, they are untested in the practical sense.
