"Oh I'm masterful at illusions still." So much in fact that he had to be careful now of harming himself, whoopsie. Smirking, Loki twirled his fingers a little as if for emphasis. "Only a sword but I could always turn it into a shield."
He still wasn't as practiced with all of the magic his former self had known. But the old!Loki (as if he were a completely other entity) had many more years to adapt. In actuality, Loki was only supposed to be around thirteen or so years. He thought he and his baby body were doing well with that time.
"How do you expect him to react? Not-well?" If that were the case he was still confident. Super Powered man or not, Loki could still over power him if magic wouldn't work. Hopefully Clint could be of assistance.
