[Curious, Watanuki reached out to take the cloth, and almost as soon as he had grabbed it in his right hand he could feel the magic pull at him.
Wood was...well, not completely right, but not wrong either. A staff was definitely wrong though, the shape was too large and unrefined for his purposes. What would eventually fit his magic was much smaller, and would probably be a mixture of materials. Wood and metal was a likely combination, balancing the strengths and weaknesses of each material off of each other.
Interestingly, the woman who had sent Watanuki to Merlin also used a magic focus made out of both wood and metal. Perhaps they would end up with similar objects?
But Watanuki let out a surprised noise as he felt the magic flow through the cloth. It was like suddenly being aware of something that had always been there, but that he hadn't really noticed yet. And after that initial shock, his face scrunched up in concentration as he tried to figure out just what it was he felt.]
It's...it's weird. Bulky. It's like I'm carrying a too-big suitcase for no reason.
