When augmenting herself, Kat alternates between restful meditative poses similar to yoga, and slowly going through a series of motions similar to martial arts katas. A light gray fog spreads down her limbs, trailing her hands and feet as she does these motions. This focuses her intention and clears her mind until the capability takes shape within her.
When using the pouch aspect, a similar looking fog appears where an object touches her as she places it into storage in a non-physical echo of herself. The same fog appears when she reaches in to pull something back out.
Heinlein wrote about other realities that may as well be fictional to us and called them Fictons. It's simpler to say than 'parallel universes' so now I call them that as well. My abilities come from a Ficton.
As explained by scientists in the Ficton I'm connected to, I have the same ability that some there do. Apparently I mentally manipulate Fermionic dark matter which connects me to their Ficton. This gives me visions from there when I focus on it. It also gives me 'super powers' like people there have.
I feel a kinship with someone there called KatAbra, both emotionally and in regards to powers. I discovered that I can learn to do anything she can do. Cat themed abilities, physical enhancement, and minor mystical abilities such as the ones I'll explain shortly. Potentially, I can learn to conceal myself from others, heal myself, erect mental defenses, that sort of thing. None of the flashy or manipulative stuff like elemental attacks, flying, or reading minds.
Improving my durability, speed, and hand to hand combat were simple enough. Environmental adaptation wasn't much tougher. Eventually I learned to manifest an echo of my physical body to use as limited storage (if you can sense magic it seems to be a shadow overlapping my body, vibrating in a pitch inaudible to normal ears). Most difficult to learn was making my mind manifest a functioning version of physical technology. While I'd like to find something more versatile to mimic than a cell phone, technology in our universe offers isn't as nice as what hero teams there use. If someone here has created a device similar to their communicators, I'd need to examine it and how it functions before mimicking it. Thankfully I don't need to know the inner workings, just the properties and how to use it.
My connection is only between here and that single Ficton, but each person who can do this connects to just one other Ficton, different for each of them. In the supers Ficton, people have connected to places that grant them things like fantasy magic, making Steampunk devices function, etc. Each of us gets something different, but we all get something somehow.
