"I don't know how enchanted you can get them, though. But yeah, there could be other magic stuff that people made. It'd take a pretty rare person to be able to get very good with the black flowers, though, I think. They're pretty bad."

"No, I meant, maybe one of us could create some kind of divinatory artifact."

"Maybe! But like, right now we don't know how it works at all besides 'you can make stuff be magic', it might not even do that entire kind of thing."

"Possible."

"Just have to wait and see, I guess."

"Yeah."

"I wonder what-all the new pair does besides fire and ice respectively."

"Guess it's on me to do a lot of fire and/or ice and find out."

"I'm jealous of your budding speed."

"I'd share the trick if I knew how."

"I believe you. Oh well."

"Yeah."

She looks contemplatively at the bouquet, then picks out all the non-redundant flowers.

"How about I go put these in? Emily, do you want to keep the orange-red one for a while?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"All right."

Off she goes with the other two.

Emily tries to see what she can do with the fire to start with.

She can create and control small amounts of fire!

How fine's her control?

A little clumsy initially, but it responds well to practice.

Good.

If she sets something on fire, can she put it out? Like this candle, that seems safe.

Yes, with some difficulty!

Oh, good. If she lights more than one candle and tries to put them both out at once, in what precise manner is that harder?

It seems to be outright impossible (at least at the moment) to put out two candles simultaneously if they're not right next to each other, and even right next to each other, the separation makes it difficult above and beyond the thing where it's harder to put out fire the more of it there is.

Huh! Well, is maximum separation the kind of thing she can increase with practice?

It doesn't quite seem to work like that.

Hmm okay well what if she adds more close-together candles.
