More about "Here, right here? Very well, J'zargo shall wait."

Locating an almost deliberately placed potion, with some decanted and left in an open mortar, the snow leopard settles down to consider the concoction before it.
Whether to consume or not, the potion clearly has purpose. But who created it, what intentions were present when they did so? (Will it respawn later once taken!)
Consuming a small amount, it pauses, to consider the taste, as a strange warming sensation as it courses through its body. A slight static electricity sensation sends the fur on its back to stand on end uncontrollably. It shivers momentarily in response, then settles.
Visions race before its eyes, strange shapes, runes, daedric creatures, lifetime of its past experiences start to form, and sequence. The visions recreate accompanying sounds, smells, and sensations. But now enhanced, greater realisation and understanding emerges. What was once unintelligible sounds from the Nords, Elves, humans and Orcs in the past visions gradually formulate into understandable meaning, purpose and context. Some 20 years of experiences now translated, or more accurately interpreted by the snow leopard. For the potion has created anthropomorphic qualities in the snow leopard. The past visons now with language from others that the leopard has new cognition of... It now appreciates and knows the words, meanings and intentions behind those past events and situations.

The visions, sounds, and sensations continue before its eyes, mesmerizingly. It cannot tell how much time is passing, so engrossed is it in this new experience and instant evolutionary development, but it now understands what these concepts are beyond any other snow leopard. The moon passes, the stars disappear, the sun rises, the snow leopard remains entranced, absorbing the new understanding, perspective, insight, intelligence. The moon passes, the sun rises, the cycle continues, the visions continue...
