( Lightning? That earns an eyebrow raise from Mika. His world's comparatively lower on the magic scale—for good reason, mind—and though his sword is special, it's not "casually channels lightning" special. )

Nothing as fancy as shooting lightning. ( No shame being from caveman town in comparison. ) I'm pretty strong and fast, physically. If I let it drink my blood, it amplifies that. It reinforces and sharpens the blade itself, too. But the mechanism for it doesn't manifest anymore.

( He's tried, alas. Mind, it works the way you ask Alexa to set an alarm, so "trying" involved a lot of shouting at his blade with no results. Frustrating and awkward. )

... The image for it is pretty clear in my head, at least. I figured I might as well try to brute force it into working using this place's magic system, somehow.
