It's a new day in the Crystal Empire, and Cadence is sent for a nice, relaxing day of magic practice with the abjuration specialist of the EEA.

It doesn't take long for everyone involved to notice: Cadence is weak. Really weak. Weaker than normal, and in fact weaker than she remembers being.

Have her fighting skills deteriorated over the years, or has something else crippled her combat capabilities?

Did she ever have any in the first place?
