3 Testing

"Well, let's try it out.", Jim had decided to fully investigate, even if it turned out to just be a complex hallucination.

"Appraise." The moment he said this, a feeling came over him, he instinctively knew something was missing. "Right, a target."

Suddenly, a few items appeared in his mind, an oven, frying pan, and spatula.

"What if I wanted to make Spaghetti?"

"Huh..."

He decided to shift gears, activating Appraisal on Focus

Suddenly, his head started aching, Jim noticed that he had ended up reading a dozen textbooks, looking at the clock 20 minutes had passed, despite feeling like only a few seconds had passed. Trying to recall the contents of the books caused all sorts of information to surface, it seems he had completely memorized them.

"Whoa! Okay, okay, calm down"

His head began aching again, the clock showed close to 40 minutes had passed, but all of the books in his house had been perfectly memorized, it had to be stated that Jim was a maniac at reading novels, over a hundred fantasy books, manga, comic books, textbooks, even appliance manuals laid sprawled on his floor.

"Hahah! What is this? It feels great!" The feeling of having a wide span of knowledge at his fingertips was intoxicating, just a slight intention allowed him to describe the exact order of re-assembling his bed. No, wait, who was he kidding? He couldn't actually start talking about it in the first place. After a cold bucket of water was dumped on his emotions, Jim picked himself back up and decided to head to the library.

Upon reaching the front door, his hand started trembling. "Ugh...come on, it's just a few blocks away" He headed out.
