( there's a very brief nod in response, lilith understanding the feeling, knowing how it could be frustrating. it had been a long time but a part of her still remember gaining control over her magic, doing what she wanted when she willed it )
Though your powers are different-- much of a witches strength comes from their intent. Having a clear focus, knowing what it is they desire strengthens the energy for their spell.

[For a moment, Ella just closes her eyes and takes several deep breaths. When she'd wanted to see things before, they had never really come that quickly, but somehow today even before she opens her eyes, Ella can see red behind her eyelids. It's like how you look up at the sun through them, and for a moment, she wonders if that's what's happening before she opens them quickly.
The red is still there, and not only is it there, but it's huge.
But more than that, there's a sense of power in her, a sense of power that Ella has only really felt a few other times before. Lucifer, of course, and Amenadiel, and Charlotte when she'd Lucifer's mother inside of her. In some ways, that's the thing that feels the most familiar: Lucifer's mother and for a moment, Ella's lip just drops open. Her voice is very soft and awed:]
