[Daniel is listening closely, and from what he's seen so far, he's starting to come up with a theory] I see, I have a bit of a theory about why your abilities might not be working. In short, I think that whatever magic brought us here and granted us mystical gifts or whatever also might be interfering with your own abilities. It might be that in order for whatever abilities this word grants you to work, it needs to dampen your natural powers?

Either that, or your powers might be restricted to working only on your homeworld. Hmmmm.... [Daniel is doing the Daniel thing again, he is very likely to tangent into magical metaphysics or something if Celestia doesn't stop him.]
