The magic hit Ren all at once, changing his body without any warning.
It felt like invisible hands were reshaping him from the inside out. His bones stretched and shrank in specific ways.
His muscles rebuilt themselves to make him faster and sneakier instead of just stronger. It wasn't painful, but it was intense, like his whole body was being remade.
His eyesight got better first. Colors looked brighter, shadows had more detail, and he could see movement from the corner of his eye perfectly. It was like getting a completely new superpower.
Then his hearing improved. He could hear the water hitting the stone bridges and figure out exactly what kind of stone it was just from the sound.
He could even tell how warm the water was just by listening to it!
But the coolest change was how he could bend light around himself.
