How should I say it? Poor Phoenix's idea of fun is being boring and helpful!

Fashion isn't boring.

[ that's what he's got ]

It kinda is.

[And their head shifts to become an oversized cat head that's also wearing Thor's helmet.]

Like compared to this?

[ He startles just a little, not entirely expecting that. ]

How do you just do that on command? That's not even fashion which, I stand by, is really frickin' cool.

I want to do it so, I do. Simple as that.

Is it not the same for you? Seeing as you don't have the spoken component to spells like Wiccan does.

I don't know?

[ He says it a little awkward glancing down with a shrug. ] I meant it, when I said I'm still learning about everything. Where I'm from, we've only just started regaining powers from our other life and it's been pretty limited? I know I can change things, obviously, but not like that.

[ and he doesn't know how to use the full scale of billiams or, perhaps, because it's chaos magic he's mentally limiting himself to know what he can do. ]

The other Billy has to speak to cast spells?

Your powers shouldn't be limited here.

[Just saying. Loki's very familiar with placing limits on one's self without realizing, though.]

He does. Kinda silly, yeah? He'd have to go all "Becomecatthorbecomecatthorbecomecatthorbecomecatthor..." and so on.

[Yes, they're still saying all this with a giant cat head.]

[ Uncertainly: ]

Then I guess I haven't tried.

[ He's not yet sure he wants to, even with their discussion. And it's easier to avoid it with the silly image in his head as he can't help but look amused. ]

That sounds inconvenient and like getting tongue-tied at the worst possible moment.

Right? And it was the worst when he lost his voice here, luckily we could still communicate telepathically.

[Their head shrinks back into a humanoid form, as they consider,]

But I think it must ground him. Even if it's unnecessary for your magic, it might be helpful at times. I still uses runes and spell circles every now and then myself.

[ He frowns - because of course he knows what that means - and chooses to say nothing: ]

Witchcraft still requires spells and runes. I've - I remember using a little to help with my other magic a little before, too.

Of course. I just rely on them less nowadays what with my sorcery taking a more metaphorical approach to things. But the classics are classics for a reason, especially when you're new to magic.

[ He nods. ]

Like, how I don't need to use the spell to make a broomstick for flying anymore, but it's still nice to have and use.

Ugh, it's people like you who make everyone else assume I know how to fly!

[They're joking. Except about not knowing how to fly. It is the funniest limitation to their powers ever.]
