*The machine fires back at me a beam so intense that it could easily blow the planet apart. I cross my arms in front of my face and allow the energy to impact me*
... Needs more strength.

YA FOUND A FLASHLIGHT, A WARMER SPACESUIT, AND A PIECE OF PIPE OR SOMETHING.

*In a training room in the base, I fire an unfathomably massive blast of energy into the "barrel" of a large machine*

Thank you. We can wait.
-Voice- ... Parsing statement... Potential magic candidate detected.

@Efficacy

Sayonara.
*A blue light flashes on my back as I zip away*

-Voice- The test is eased greatly based on the capabilities of non-candidates.
-Do you know anyone who could help better?

@Efficacy

Lucas Rhett is a man whose sense alone are so finely tuned that it's a huge reason he's able to compete with the likes of many in this group. I can see if he'll do it.

-Voice- The smell test consists of detecting specific odors among others. An odor will appear that is different, and you must use the proper spray bottle--identifiable by odor--to neutralise the odor before it becomes corrosive.

@Efficacy

Hmm...
*Turns to Aron*
It wouldn't be too late to step out of this, would it? I know my capabilities, and as enhanced as my senses go, I've already identified two tests that I would only pass by sheer luck.

So, what kinds of attacks will we face in there?
-Voice- *after a short delay* The attacks for each will be the same for each sense. For sight, you will have to notice faint objects moving around which will hone in on you with proportionally strong force after a time. Eventually, they will only leave trails, and you will have to deduce their pattern of movement and catch them. Do all four of you understand the sight test?

@Efficacy

Yes.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

-Voice- *after all have expressed their agreement* For the hearing test, you will hear different noises. You must trace the source of these noises, explosive devices, and speak a word corresponding to that sound, which will shut off the device. You will hear these words and sounds before the test.

@Efficacy

Understood.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

I didn't understand. It said minus.

@Galaxy Raider

Or deducting, rather. Sounded like a penalty the way it was worded.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>

Uh, that was a bonus.

@Efficacy

I didn't understand. It said minus.

Myriad Reality

A perceptive question gets a penalty but a question for spoilers gets nothing?
