Chapter 17: 15: Spirits

‘Magic? How can you not know…’ Magic to the spirits is a thing that they use so much that it has become something mundane. It was their nature for them to use magic whenever and wherever they see fit, even if what they’re trying to accomplish could have been easily done without magic through manual labor. Thus the query was baffling coming from someone with the likeness of a spirit.
She was about to answer with her own question, 'How could you not know magic?'’ It was in the same vein as asking a ‘bird if it knew how to fly, or a horse how to gallop.’ However, ‘Wait she isn’t fully a spirit, then…’ She was under the preconceived notion that Alicia was an unusual type of spirit. ‘Let’s change my method...’
‘What if I told her that the only reason I know the existence of magic is because of an ability that god gave me as compensation for a life unlived, said to me that it exists…? Yup, even I would think I’m insane. Best to just keep it to myself…’
‘That’s a whole load of lies I just came up with… Please just don’t question it...’
Not shown on her face, Alicia held such a prayer in her heart…
‘It is most likely her spirit side of her that’s yearning for magic… I know that all too well… If she is truly unaware of her magic then that could explain why she’s leaking it all over the place… Let’s assume she doesn’t know anything… still there’s a problem…’
After pausing for a while laughter escaped the spirit’s mouth.
‘What does that make me… a Magic beast? I wasn’t particularly good with biology, not to mention otherworld biology.’
“Also there are races naturally able to use magic. Often they have a protrusion in their body that acts as a conductor for their magic.”

‘What, you need an antenna for using magic?’ Alicia made such a mental comment to the spirit’s ongoing lecture. Despite the cynical comment, she was still attentively listening hoping to get as much information as possible.
Unbeknownst to her, due to her long social isolation the water spirit was in a great mood and more talkative than usual.
‘Yup don’t piss off the goats. I don’t wanna get rammed and zapped’
Immediately snapping back to reality the spirit answered.
Alicia was in a state of bewilderment, examining her own body, that she wasn’t very familiar with just yet. Looking for anything that could be a conductor. Seeing her confusion, the spirit told her:
After a short moment of processing what she could have meant in a sudden revelation she realized something. Her spider half had near invisible thin hairlike malleable bristles that acted as an extension of her senses, particularly her sense of smell, taste and vibrations.
Although they’re not fully covering her body, being mostly restricted around the legs and and mouth parts with only a few of them spread around her own body. They were the answer to her question. She didn’t need any horn or antennae. Her whole body was covered by her conductors.
‘Then what did she mean by my hair? Wait she said it’s from my whole body but more is coming from my lower body and my hair. Unlike a spider that’s covered by their tactile hair my human self has comparatively much shorter  and scant fewer of it in body hair… Geez what a way to call me hairy… Still though I didn't know my hair, of all things, was useful for magic. Now for the biggest question...’
