Alicia kept minding her own business while Sa’saori was dumping her life story on the archon. But it was a distraction to keep the guy busy and not give him a chance to ask too many intrusive questions, so it was not completely useless, I suppose.
 Then, proctor Roffimières announced the trial was starting. Alica closed her book. It was time to pay attention. While the sigels on the floor started to light up, Alicia noticed something up above on the balconies. It was hard to distinguish among the shadows, but she could swear there was a person there watching them. Alicia looked up in the direction of the figure right before the light flared up and teleported everyone to their testing realms.

 Arriving in the test environment, Alicia let her eyes go around the room to assess the assignment. mirrored walls that reflect and refract the light that comes from a spinning crystal on the ceiling of the room, and a door of interlocking crystal plates. The easiest conclusion is that they need to guide the light to a specific point to finish the test. But where and how? Sa’saori was acting boldly, trying to touch various surfaces with her sword. Not a bad idea. A bit crude, but it does give the group some info on how the thing reacts to force. if things can be moved easily and/or if they want to move at all.
 [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"Do not worry about touching things… this is an environment created to test its inhabitants. I am sure the academy is well aware that people want to apply force and test their surroundings. It’s a natural approach to things after all. So I do not worry that Sasa would break something of importance. just watch, see and note how everything reacts to it."[/I][/B][/COLOR] She messaged Ichabod in his mind when he showed concern about deliberation before touching things.

Then Ichabod went on to theorise about the test. He did make some valid observations. The goal of the test is likely to get the light of the crystal to hit something. But as it was currently, it was getting way too scattered by all the mirrors. So getting it focused on a single point would be one of the first things they should figure out. Alicia walked to stand beside the crystal that emitted the light and looked at it. She wondered what kind of crystal it was. What was it made of to be able to emit light like that?
 When Ichabod inquired about Alicia's gravity magic, the witch looked at him again. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"My magic works only in my immediate surroundings. I’m not skilled enough to manipulate gravity at range at this moment…"[/I][/B][/COLOR] She told him telepathically. Not that her magic could be of any use to adjust any of the mirrors if they were static objects, which Alicia hoped they were. If they could easily adjust even some of the mirrors, that would mean so much more mental work figuring out the correct configurations then. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"I have some thoughts i guess"[/I][/B][/COLOR]. She messaged both her teammates when Ichabod asked for their thoughts. [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"I think also that the goal is to direct the light to a specific point. So let us first determine where it could be. The plates are the obvious answer. But is it all the plates or only specific ones? It could also be that we need to hit one of these mirrors with the light? See if one of them absorbs light rather than reflects it."[/I][/B][/COLOR] Alicia turned her gaze towards Ichabod [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"You had shadow magic, right? Can you try to see if your shadows can block the light beams? It might make figuring things out easier if we can stop some of the beams so we can focus on the path of others, I guess"[/I][/B][/COLOR]
Alicia closed her eyes [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"Talking about light. even if we can manipulate the mirrors and know what we precisely have to hit it would be really hard to find out the right way as long as that thing is still moving"[/I][/B][/COLOR] She pointed to the crystal [COLOR=#7AA9DD][B][I]"most ideal would be if we can figure out how we can stop or control that thing... I suppose... If we can control how the crystal will turn, we control where the light will end up in the end, I guess"[/I][/B][/COLOR]. That gave Alicia an idea. She opened her hand towards the crystal and used a [b][Gravity pull][/b] on it to try and reverse the direction it was spinning in until it only spun around its vertical axis.
