When I was a child I had a mild case of synesthesia. I would often see colors or feel textures when hearing sounds. Touching different textures would trigger memories associated with the sound-texture pair... A wild trip for an adult, but at that time I thought everybody perceived the world that way.

I have also had a feeling for Magic. An unmistakable tingling, in my brain, when I learned/discovered something new. It was the best feeling in the world - it kept me exploring and learning the unknown.

All of that started getting weaker somewhere in my teens. Then it completely disappeared when I was around 20. I still hold the memories, the codex of sound/color/textures, but nothing triggers it. Nothing triggers the Magic sense. It all just faded away.

I would do anything to feel it again.
