Hi.

[Prue looks less than stellar- eyes slightly rimmed with red, makeup just barely smudged enough to indicate that she was probably crying a while ago, or came close recently. She's frustrated and has a small smear of ash on one cheek.]

Does anyone have any experience with their magic or- or powers from home not working right here?

I can't make any spell work. I've tried everything I can, and almost nothing I've done since I came here has done anything but almost destroy my ceiling.

[She makes an almost painfully frustrated noise in her throat, teeth on edge and eyes watering angrily.]

This is ridiculous, I'm stronger than this.

I can still shift. Haven't tried doin' a person, yet. [And then he smirks. He'd totally do someone.]

[Oh wow hey so not in the mood for innuendo right now.]

At least someone still packs a punch around here.

I've had no such trouble since arriving in Siren's Port. Any magical mishaps I've experienced have been due, I'm ashamed to admit, to my own over-exuberance or distraction.

Do your powers draw on any elements specific to your home world, such as ley lines?

[astralling]

Uh.... [She runs a hand through her hair almost distractedly.] I don't know, I guess it's the Power of Three that does it. I have to make do because without my sisters my magic isn't as strong.

[motioned]

It never did that back home?

[astralling]

I've had spells backfire or fail, but not like this. It's the strongest I can possibly make it.

All my magic has been working as much as magic works.

[She smiles softly.]

Um. Maybe we could try something?

[Action]

[astralling]

[Rather than try anything, she astral projects to wherever Willow is in a little purple glow, still looking stressed, makeup a little messed, and like she could be doing a lot better.]

Try what?

permavid.

[symmachy]

It isn't a question of your personal strength, I'm sure.

[astralling]

It is now.

[Bruce will quite intelligently not make a single mention of how glad he is that he didn't let her cast that spell on his apartment.]

Prue, are you... yeah, you're not okay and there's nothing I can add when it comes to the magic stuff.

Do you want to yell at me?

[astralling]

[By the time she answers him she actually looks a lot better- back to normal, face washed, makeup redone, hair pulled up into a picture of calm while she runs her fingers along the rim of a coffee cup.]

Bruce- I appreciate the concern, but really. [A small smile.] I'm fine. I was just having a hard time.

[Crap. Another witch? Mercy was going to bury her head in a rabbit hole and not come out. Seriously. However, if living with the pack had taught her one thing: make nice with the witches. So they didn't turn your entrails into extrails.

So, she turns on the video, looking composed and dirty. Fixing cars isn't a clean job.]

Unless the Core is acting up, I haven't noticed anyone having issues with their powers.

[Prue too looks composed.]

There must be a problem with the spells I'm trying to cast.

[ Welp. Good thing he knew nothing about this. Have a slightly concerned, frowning Sam. ]

... You're a witch?

[astralling]

[Prue looks infinitely better: put-together, fresh-faced, makeup and hair fixed. She even has a modicum of calm as she sips from a cup of coffee.]

Yes, I am. A powerful one, too, but I can't get anything but the most basic spells to work.

[that_is_asecret]

Interesting, I have seen similar things happen before.

[astralling]

Like what?

[You creepy person augh go away. :|]

[towerlocked]

... A witch? [she says the word warily]

[astralling]

Yes?

[failedparenting]

You're a witch?

[U n s u r e.]

[astralling]

[SIGH this reaction is getting really goddamn old.]

Yes, is that illegal now?

[madeinoblivion]

You could ask Master Aqua? She teaches a magic school...

But maybe the Pull...un-made your powers? That's not something I've heard about happening before.

voice

[astralling]

No, that can't be- I still have basic powers.

But what about this Master Aqua? Who is she? What kind of magic does she do?

[mulletrock]

Havin' problems, Sabrina?

[astralling]

That's really helpful. Thanks.
