"That was... weird" Selturma said. "Rex, did Jake ever do anything like that before? You've known him longer than I have."
Sasha was more surprised than hurt by that. She would find Jake later. For now, she put on her loincloth, but could not get her top to comfortably fit her now enlarged top section... this was odd too.
"Cleric, what did you do to me?" Sasha asked, sounding as indignant as she was surprised.
"I have enhanced your powers, girl. You now have the ability to absorb energy through your skin. In fact, given the way your powers have been reconfigured, you have to absorb extra power through your skin, or else your powers will feed off of your normal life force and consume you from within. You still need to eat in order to maintain the normal chemical reactions which keep your physical body alive, and you will still need to sleep... but your powers should be greater now, provided that you have time to absorb the extra energy. A word of caution, though; absorbing too much energy at once can be harmful to your health, as can casting too many spells; you still get tired as you did before, although if you are highly charged, you cast probably cast 3-4 spells before passing out, instead of just 1 or 2. Your soft body was not the best candidate for becoming a battery..."
The cleric regretted saying that last part; he had given away part of his intentions.
