[She DID have enthusiasm, but that was not why she said that. She gave the seemingly totem animal atop the staff a light nuzzle and it came to life, returning the gesture and then proceeding to fly around in a circle. Owlbert gave a nose dive toward Luz, then turned immobile a few feet short and turned into the staff again, Luz catching it in her arms].

Palisman. [Honestly, Eda would have been a little proud. Luz had Owlbert helping her for a LONG time, and he had been Luz's companion for so much that it felt seamless. She would never have dropped Owlbert at this point, and this was mutual when he was her staff.

And here is how we work.

[She could have said "how I use him" but obviously that wasn't the case. In any rate, Luz hopped atop the staff and flew high, higher, then took a swirl in the air before falling again and pulling up at the last moment. Luz hopped off, and three papers started to float down from when she'd fallen. Before they could fall to the ground, Luz swirled staff in the air in a sharp circle. The falling papers were, in fact, glyphs: one that gave a pleasant flash of light, followed by an explosion of falling sakura petals and finishing with a simple three foot ice statue that resembled her new teacher].

Those are glyphs that can be activated at their basic level. Through more advanced combinations, you can do more with proper application!
