Listening carefully Evelyn took in all that lisandre had said and was surprised to find out that magic really did not need any spells. They were imply just used as a crutch by most humans to create complex phenonon.
"Now I have taught you the basics that you needed to know, so now it is ti to practice on your control. But first I have been wanting to asure your magical energy." lisandre said with a twinkle in her eyes.
She then pulled out what looked like a pendant form her storage item and placed it around Evelyn's neck.
On this pendant there looked to be a gauge, though there were not any numbers on it so it must have just asured general amounts.
'I wonder how I compare to others. I imagine with two cores I should be above the curve. But will this thing even register my magic core since I doubt other beasts have one?' Evelyn thought unsure of how this asuring device worked.
She waited with bated breath as the she craned her neck downwards in order to look at the gauge on the pendant as it slowly moved from left to right.
Eventually it stopped around thirty percent of the way to maximum value and Evelyn frowned seeing that it did not go very far.
She had been hoping that her magical energy would actually be strong enough to send the gauge all the way to the right, but it appeared she was not anywhere close.
Yet lisandre's reaction was enough to tell her that what had just happened was not normal, as her master's eyes had gone wide with astonishnt.
"It is just one thing after another with her." lisandre mumbled to herself in a bit of a daze.
For her Evelyn defied all common sense in many ways, and this was just the latest in her defying the normalcy of this world.
"Evelyn, I want to try asuring again with another tool just to make sure I got the correct results." lisandre said as she hastily took the pendant off.
Quickly she pulled out another one, though this one was quite a bit larger and more ornate looking than the one that lisandre had just used.
In fact, it must have been made to be used on much larger owls, as lisandre had to adjust the chain on it so that it did not just flop onto the floor while it was around Evelyn's neck.
'Ugh its heavy.' Evelyn thought as she strained her neck to keep the pendant up.
It was made out a thick brass like tal, and the pendant was bigger than her head, and weighed quite a bit.
And an unfortunate outco of its heaviness ant that Evelyn could not gaze down at the gauge this ti and just had to wait for lisandre to finish reading it.
"Looks to be exactly the sa as the last one." lisandre said to herself as she peered closely at the gauge on the pendant.
Once she was satisfied that she had gotten a correct reading, she shook her head and then fixed Evelyn with an exacerbated look.
"I do not know how you did it, but you have way more magical energy in you than you should to the point that it is absurd."
After saying this lisandre took the large pendant back from Evelyn and gave a long sigh while trying to figure out what to do with her new absurd apprentice.
She was now beyond just being talented and had entered the realm of an absurdity that should not have existed as far as lisandre knew.
"Um, could you explain? I do not have any reference for how much magical energy that I have in relation to others." Evelyn said with a curious and fearful expression.
She was starting to fear that maybe she was so beyond what was reasonable that lisandre was going to abandon her from the indifferent tone in her master's voice.
Luckily it was not that lisandre did not care, just that she was so shocked that her mind was racing to keep up.
"Yeah, I suppose you would not know how to read these gauges, so let go ahead and tell you how far above the curve you are." lisandre said as she pulled out the first pendant they had used.
"This magic tool is used to asure beasts up to the peak of the awakened stage, where the strongest would bring the gauge to its limit. Even my attendants only go around ninety-two percent of the way and both of them are very talented even by the Roost's standards." lisandre explained.
"You on the other hand as a high tier fiend beast should have maxed out sowhere around fourteen percent at the absolute best. Yet you sohow got it all the way to thirty percent, more than twice as far as what should have been possible. This is the range I would expect from a strong low tier awakened beast, or an average mid-tier awakened beast here in the Roost. It is very far from what you should have."
Having it spelled out to her like this by lisandre, Evelyn now fully understood just how abnormal she really was.
From what lisandre said it was clear that she had around twice as much magical energy than she should have, which made since she had two cores instead of one.
"This is just great, now I am going to have to make sure no one else asures you. This is beyond my expectations, but I guess this at least allows to understand how you survived taking in so much magical energy." lisandre said with an exhausted tone.
She had figured that Evelyn would be around the maximum potential for a high-tier fiend beast, but instead she blew well past it and had as much as many awakened beasts which was unheard of.
'Even just an average beast at her level would only bring the gauge up around eight percent, but she is well beyond the amount of magical energy any fiend beast should have.'
