The only thing that would have made Rebekah look more attentive was a notebook. Her ears had perked up as soon as the teacher called the first magician forward, particularly at the reference to his magic. Digitized spelltomes, that was what he said. Given that the student pulled out his phone a second later, that had to be how he accessed the spells. It reminded her of when she started trying to digitally produce necessary runes by printing saved files. The results hadn't been bad, but she was going to have to revisit the concept. Digitizing an entire spellbook, and being able to cast straight from it, would make the process so much more efficient. Vastly increase the number of spells she could use at a moment's notice, too. With all of them bound to just one device she could keep so many more of them on her person.

She pushed her extrapolations to the back of her mind as soon as the spell started. A massive bolt straight up, splitting continuously (chain lightning maybe?) into smaller bolts headed back towards the ground until dissipation. Given the amount of energy contained in a single bolt normally, it was safe to say that his spell on full power was potent. But was it one and done on full power? She couldn't change up the power ratings on her own spells very much, but she could manage two Faces and three Numbers before she started running low. If full power was a one-use-before-replenish, how many times could a spell normally be used?

Things to experiment with later, she decided. After she found a way to make spells work digitally. That was going to be a project all its own. And she didn't have time to worry about it now. If they were going by line order, she was probably next. She took her deck from her pocket casually, but inside she was so, so much more excited. She didn't get to have feedback on her experiments very often, and her deck was her very best. 

Still, only the faintest hints of a smile broke through her concentration as she looked through the cards fanned out in her hand. Some of them were difficult to showcase. She couldn't really heal someone, break defenses, or block an attack. Ace of Clubs and Ace of Hearts were both too internal to count for much. Ace of Spades [i]looked[/i] good, but she couldn't showcase its abilities very well. Forcing single combat didn't work, either.

Queen or King of Clubs it was, then.
