We had a lengthy talk about how my current world works and the kinds of things Alice should be aware of. Most things Alice managed to understand, but there were a couple of concepts that just baffled her.
She found it hard to believe that everyone could use witchcraft, which is how she called her abilities. That led me to explain how we refer to it as magic and that everyone has an innate affinity for it. It also surprised her to learn that there isn't really much of a racial hierarchy anymore and that generally all races are considered equal.
