[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7835837, member: 4937"] Depends entirely on whether the child is making a factual observation. If this is a factual observation, then the world is one where there is a skill - or possibly more than one skill - of bending reality to your will which is accessible to everyone once they are aware. In that case, this is just a simple skill check against a simple target DC. If this is not a factual observation, but the spoon really can be bent by Neo, then this is a world with magic of some sort and there are people with sorcerous talent. In that case, the intent of the scene could be just to reveal to Neo's player that he can level up (however it is done in the system) in this sorcerous ability. But there are additional possibilities. It could be that Neo did not really bend the spoon at all, and that either Neo is hallucinating - there isn't even a child in the room he's speaking with - or else that the child is actually deluding Neo into believing he's the one doing the bending or how it is done. In that case, Neo simply has false to facts understanding of the situation. [/QUOTE]
