Crazy? Her? Oh, no, she's sane as can be. You can tell by the way she hasn't transmuted her jackknife into a chainsaw. Yet.

"It's the peri partbloods you should be jealous of," she says, almost seriously. "Like Mary, one of the waitresses at the coffeehouse: the coffee she pours is always hot." Which makes her pretty popular with the regulars.

And, okay, she wouldn't say that transmuting is useless, but it's not often that turning one small object into another small object actually comes in handy. Except for when it really, really does. It's not like she missed it for the fifteen post-Wars years that she spent ignoring that part of her heritage.
