Ryan's eyes widened in surprise and almost confusion as the entire ceremony seemed to work perfectly. He never got the idea out of his head that all of this was just a lie or a joke, but he couldn't deny it anymore with how strong he felt as well as his new attire simply... being there. He grabbed hold of the crimson gem... his crimson gem. He stared at it for a moment before looking up to Qubus who began telling them about their wishes being granted as well as their unique abilities based on their wishes. His face turned slightly red as Qubus looked to him, assuming it'd be speaking his wish. It seemed Qubus understood he wanted that to be private though, as the actual wish wasn't mentioned. He mentally sighed in relief, before nodding, smiling at his new gifts from Qubus. [i]Once again... Someone does a lot for me... At least now I can return the favor... I consider you a friend.[/i] Ryan glanced around at the others, each having their own unique abilities as well. They were all unique, and in their own way, powerful. He looked directly to Qubus now, only curious about the cost and hopefully the regeneration of whatever they use to use this magic. "When we use our abilities, you said something about cost of magic, right? About how much do we actually have, or is that dependent on the user? And will it regenerate over time, or do we have to get you to regenerate it or something?" As he asked this question, he began to move around to test out his new strength. [i]I feel lighter...[/i] Twice his previous strength, while it wasn't to the point where he could compete in a national competition for strongest man, he was definitely not a weakling.
