Rick's eyebrows raised at the last, but as with most things, he just rolled with it. "Well, whatever works, right? Maybe mine's because I'm not an adept. My abilities aren't innate, in a sense. I wasn't born with them. One was bestowed on me as a gift, the other got fused to me by accident when an activated magical amulet basically melted in my hand. In any case, thankfully, my powers don't come to bear very often at all - which I count as a good thing, all considering - so I've never really tested the edges of what they can do, how many times, for how long, anything like that."
