Minerva asserts her will over the world, and the world kneels.
Minerva's powers begin to manifest fully with this. Almost subconsciously, the young girl can change the world around her. She convinces the universe her playthings are real, and it accepts this, with reservations.
If they are treated roughly, however - damaged or stressed at all, by anyone - the universe remembers, and such illusions evaporate into smoke.
She is holding her pendant in her hand as she does this, an instinctual reaction. She's come to treat the pendant as a crutch, and because she believes she needs it, she needs it.
Minerva deals poorly with pain or stress, having lived a pampered life and having little experience to see her though them. Physical pain at all keeps bringing her mind back to that, and she's unable to assert her will properly. Stress does the same - as soon as she's distracted, she's unable to focus, unable to make her will come forth.
Typically. Should worst come to worst, should true panic take her, she begins to manifest her will again by primal need. Only the things we bring forth when we are scared and panicked are rarely kind.
