For a moment after the battle's end, Katia stood before the altar, staring into the flame and trying to wrap her head around what she had just witnessed. Despite not turning to check on the others, she could hear the sounds of those behind her proclaiming wordlessly that they were alive and well just as she, although Katia doubted any had seen the visions she had seen. The sacred flame flickered before her, enkindling in her soul the same flames that had nearly been snuffed in despair. 

Reaching into her mind, she could feel a strange yet comforting new power granted by the heavenly being she had witnessed. The power to give life and draw it away, to conjure fire and light, to mix both together in a holy evocation of destruction. Indeed, as she stood by the light of the fire she had borne, Katia touched the tip of her staff and the radiance shone from her weapon like a sacred torch. This was magic, no doubt about it, but unlike the books that Wick had studied or the prayers she had devoted to her deity, this magic was part of her very essence, crafted and drawn from her very essence. This was even beyond the minor miracles of her monk training: a power granted by the heavens themselves to be used to further good.

As the realization dawned on Katia, she turned and sprinted back to the others, darting around Cesar, Birbin, and the others as if they weren't even there, and stopping only once she had reached Wick. [color=ed1c24]"Magic, [i]milya[/i]! I can use magic!"[/color] she called out excitedly, holding her staff out as proof. [color=ed1c24]"I saw a Light, and then I heard someone tell me to keep going, and then..."[/color] A shower of sparks exploded from Katia's fingertips, causing her to giggle in delight.

Out of the corner of her eye, Katia saw [i]the Green Man[/i] attempt to slink off into obscurity. [color=ed1c24]"Hold on, you! Was this all some sort of test? What's really going on here? We don't want to destroy or hurt anything good, so if you can help us know more, we can take better care."[/color] Katia felt a bit sheepish about smashing the paladin in the face with her staff, but then, if he had no plans to help them, perhaps it was warranted after all.

[Hider=Mechanics]
Katia casts the cantrip [i]Light[/i] on her staff, then uses Feline Agility to dash towards Wick at full speed (max 200 ft). Once there, she casts the cantrip [i]Prestidigitation[/i] as a demonstration of her newfound powers. She will then remain still long enough to regain her Feline Agility.
