Cinder Detect Magic, 3 passes, complete success
Cam had to be the most well-built wizard Juniper had ever seen. She hadn't expected him to be pudgy, not at all, but he was actually muscular, which was a departure from the norm. A pleasant one, too--she didn't care what Max or Mathus looked like naked, but she studiously looked away from Cam's chest, following his hands instead.
She was immediately distracted when the air filled with the tickling sensation of magic. The ripples washed around her, potent and inhuman, quite unlike the pale strictures of the ritualists she knew. The tiger shivered, and then reached up to pinch her nose, to stop herself from sneezing. It didn't work, and she sneezed hard into the cup of her hand as Cam withdrew the sword from seemingly nowhere.
Sneezing a few more times, quietly, she looked away, blinking tears from her eyes. She wasn't allergic to magic, but it pulled at her, like ethereal air currents tugging on a cat's whiskers. It took her a few moments to adjust to the sensation and the low vibration slowly eased, letting her take a breath.
All of that, on top of the marvel that was drawing the sword out of nothing. It had to come from somewhere, Juniper knew, but already Cam was showing an impressive use of magic she'd never seen before. She looked back at him with an owlish expression, watching the fire glint on the fine steel.
