Alice opened her eyes gently to see what had happened. She was sure she had made it but doubted whether she had succeeded.
"Did I?" she asked doubtfully, trying to understand what she had just felt.
Being the first time she had felt it, she was naturally unfamiliar with the feeling of casting magic.
Matt nodded at her. "You did pretty well. Two bolts of lightning came out, and while they didn't have too much power, they had a lot of lethality. So you did well."
Alice beamed as she heard him say this. "Really!?" She looked at the item in her hand, feeling it was amazing that she could use it and cast magic.
The current world belief is that vampires cannot use magic and rely entirely on their vampiric powers. A few manage to mutate in some way to gain abilities, and others belong to an exalted group of Heirs with Destiny who have potent skills. However, there are only 14 who arrive every few years.
