Even after a year, Erika is still not used to her personal magic, and maybe she never will, and maybe that is the point. After all, it’s all about introducing new information, not drawn from the outside but from within, using the outside as a reference. Omniscience. A truly powerful tool, one that taught her to fear and respect both her secrets and those of others, because the fundamental rules of reality have many themselves… some that almost drown her in dread. Immune to both the joy and sorrow of learning, expectation proved to be equally as fatal.
There are no fancy rainbows or colors when Erika uses omniscience, but the inside of her head becomes a galaxy. Millions and millions of clusters of information, interlinked with one another, a fraction of which would be enough to shatter her mind without this magic. Her mind flooded, the only reference Erika gives herself is herself, Erika, the Magical Girl of Knowledge- and all the information trimming in her mind becomes related to that subject.
The late morning becomes afternoon as she writes, and even the afternoon loses a bit of its colors. Entranced, she hits the keyboard like a piano, her fingers going up and down like the rain still lingering outside. Already tired, her omniscience called off, all that sacred knowledge leaks from her like sweat, as if her brain was getting much, much smaller. A scary moment; knowledge makes her feel safe.
Erika blinks, appalled, as she reads the screen. The mountain of text is in human language, she can read it, that much is true- but attempting to understand it turns out to be impossible. Confused, and honestly annoyed, Erika comes out with a quick, fallible theory to consider: that perhaps her mind works differently during omniscience. Or perhaps that transmitting the knowledge required to understand some aspects of Magical Girls requires certain knowledge to be explained first, and thus she finds, in the book, the very first, vague steps required to do so. No. That’s not it. Without even requiring omniscience, Erika, a very smart scholar, stumbles upon a simple fact:
that she just tried to explain <span class="mu-s">magic</span>.
Eyes like a lamp behind those glasses, in all due honestly, Erika does find her situation to be unexpectedly funny.
