Jim watches the first motion fail to yield a result. That's a bit weird. Normally at least something would happen, right? What drives the magic that Isidor wields? How is it different from the magic Felix and Stratos rely on? If her magic is all internal, shouldn't it be usable here too?

Either way, Jim doesn't look too surprised when Isidor has to try again. Not until the furniture begins to shake. Before he can tell her to stop there's a raucous clattering of wood ('wood' really, most things here are replicated after all) against the wall. He winces ever so slightly. "It's in space. Which, I mean, I know the Earth is too but...there's nothing here you're used to dealing with."

The captain folds his arms with a thoughtful frown. "Do athletes of your time do altitude training yet? Pushing themselves physically in an oxygen deficient environment to make their body more efficient at utilizing it? My ship and this colony are not old and do not have the energies Earth or other planets must. There is no magic out here, or at least very little. It's all I can think of to call it since pretty much every mage I've had into my world has had the same problems. There's a deficiency in whatever energy you utilize to control your magic."
