I wonder what kind of energy it is? Is the additional strength or speed coming from additional cell performance, or from kinetic energy being directed in such a way that is corresponds with her movements? If the latter, does she direct it mentally or is it instinctual, following her body's movements by subconscious effort, or is there some factor preventing it from moving in any other way? Could she put it on someone else, or even on someTHING else? If she could put it on someone else, it would be interesting to see if the strength gain is proportional to their current strength, or is a flat bonus. The second would privilege slightly "directed kinetic" over "increased cell work". If it is the cell work, I cannot wait to get the cells affected under a microscope and see how the energy is transferred to the cell: I don't know if Thomas knows was Adenosine Triphosphate is, but if she can create it conservation of energy is out the window, and if she cannot there is some mechanism for cells to receive energy that is unknown to modern science.

Speaking of conservation of energy, I wonder if she is capable of exerting a force on her legs or arms greater than the amount of energy she expends. If, for example, she is capable of putting out more energy than she expends through burning presumably chemical energy, either there is an extraneous force that the energy comes from, or conservation of energy is fucked. We could distinguish this by having her do the glowy things for a long time and a short time: if the long run version is more efficient than the short run version, then we would think that it is her using her own energy to trigger and maintain an influx of external magical energy, but if they are the same it makes the idea that the energy comes from her more likely.

If the energy comes directly from her, and she is capable of producing more energy than she has access to in her body, all of a sudden we have broken the universe and we can in a few decades start harnessing these powers to create a utopia free of want, at least after the industrial revolution.

Also, what is the pink glow, and why is it pink? Is it necessary, and can she cast the spell, or knows someone who can cast the spell without the glow? I don't know how spells are formulated, if it is just something she wills into existence or has to cast some arcane chant, but she should work with Thomas to try and modify the spell, then apply that modification to other exertions of magic

Right, that is enough craziness for now. Feels good to get that off my chest.
