this is a stupid complicated question i'm sorry and it's more of a "I can do this, right" - but if we have a headcanon for how a character normally senses their world's form of magic, we can just give the handwavium for people experiencing the memory from the backseat that it is something they can understand, even if it'd normally be complete nonsense as a sensory input, right

because man let me tell you about homestuck my headcanons for how the fuck abyss' jrpg magic works
