"Does it channel the magic? The power?" Angelica asked with quick interest. In her time on the other side of various doors, she'd visited a number of magical worlds; the magic was all different, but there were patterns.

She considered the idea of jewels and levels of power against her own conception of magic. "Magic on my world is individual. There are classifications, but then there are people like me, whose magic is..." She smiled. "Totally unique. The funny thing about my magic is that it always finds a way to work that's not the way it's supposed to work. It does everything turned around and inside out, but it gets things done...like one of the stories about wishes that don't turn out like expected!"

She shrugged. "I hope to figure it out eventually, if only I can learn enough about different forms of magic. Have you been through very many doors?" Her interest was almost professional now. "Magic seems to be one of the things that varies most."
