Peter is the first to discover the unique abilities of their presents from Father Christmas when he plunges his sword into the wolf only for the body to burst into a ball of flames and then ash. When Susan draws her bowstring back, the wind swirls and builds, and when she releases a gale follows the arrow's path. Lucy's dagger is perhaps the strangest--it never cuts flesh, but when she drags the tip along a wound, the gash will stitch shut without scar or seam.

"Hmm," Alsan muttered to himself, "this wasn't quite what I had in mind when I said they shall need useful tools, Nick, but I guess they'll work."
