Target to practice her powers on, do you mean? You could always send her out to fight crime. Or electrocute tin cans.veekie said:

You know, I just realized. We honestly don't care what people do with there powers, so long as they agree to fight the things and people we specify Because we specify.
Why not go with that, and tell her that, though every now and then we'll have something for her to do, otherwise she's perfectly fine doing whatever she wishes with her powers, so long as she doesn't make a scene of herself.

Bonus points if we give her Optional objectives, to unlock more of her powers for personal experimentation and such.
Such Optional Objectives include, but likely aren't limited to, random acts of kindness, kleptomania, and other things.
Basically, we turn her life into a Vidya game, and thanks to her Transformation having a built in anonimyty field, anything she does can't be connected to Her.
Well, okay, handing her Side Quests that force her to do things possibly against her alignment seems too dickish.
Maybe just have her train herself by having her do insane martial arts training things? Like training her speed and endurance by chasing Trains. Continuously. Or hell, learning how to dodge by dodging traffic.
Any other ideas for insane things we can put into our Side Quest category, to get her stats to increase?
Maybe a series of totally normal Training missions, followed by gradually increasing in difficulty time trials and other miscellaneous objectives?
Hey, do we have any points in Summoning? Because using Summoning to summon mindless monsters for our girl to level grind against seems like a Perfect thing to do.

We ought to try and keep her behaviour to a standard that the rest of our future team (and to a lesser extent, the general public) won't object to, since they'll have to start working together at some point, maybe sooner rather than later.
I mean, if she goes supervillain and we later pick up somebody who goes superhero, they'll inevitably butt heads and may even refuse to assist or fight alongside one another (ok, that's the extreme scenario, but still), and that would be bad. There's also the public perception, wherein one of our team behaving badly will likely tar the rest with the same brush, or even cast doubt on the legitimacy of our cause ("That chick who keeps robbing and mugging is also fighting the invaders! And since she's clearly the bad guy, does that make them the good guys?" Another extreme, though)* in its entirety.
(*I don't expect much of that, to be honest, since the invaders will most likely make it extremely clear that not only are they not the good guys, they are in fact both bad and ugly.)

Changed the emoticons a little for shits and giggles. Rory doesn't have an Inventory by the way, as she has Space mana, and Dimension magic also needs Time. Also, you've got a couple of teeny skill boosts from these last couple of updates (Stealth and Earth Knowledge).
Part 9
Rory stares at her now empty hand before pulling it back, gaze darting left to right. "What the hell was that!?"
You ease backwards, now more focused on her phone, and she starts with surprise as a sound rings out from it, pulling it out to glance at it - a 'text alert' noise, its coding calls it. Maaaan, human technology is so helpful for letting you know this stuff!
She still types the name in, though.
Wildstrike.
That's it! Now you can move on to the rest of the things you picked up from that game. She'll be soooo happy! And she doesn't seem so surprised by the next text, either.
The female - is it Rory or Wildstrike now? - certainly seems to be excited! You follow her from a distance, working through the slow but steady drain on your Tech and Mind. It wasn't hard to find a map 'app' on her phone, picking out a small scrapyard for her to train in (even if it took a while to get there, and you did have to turn away some security who would have dealt with her otherwise.
Despite how totally gross the place is, you steel yourself and make do with hiding some distance away, letting your mana recharge a little and using it as little as possible. Sending texts to nearby phones take only a negligible amount, thankfully.
She's there for two hours; using her transformation (she likes it! Yaya!), at first practicing her two techniques (the shriek she lets out when her first Lightning Bolt veers off track is hilarious! But, uh, at least her aim's improving?) and then accepting a training mission - a basic one, similar to one of the first few missions from the City of Supers coding.
Rat-hunting!
Weirdly, she doesn't seem to thrilled at that, even though you've done a quick check around the scrapyard, and there seems to be a decent infestation of rats and mice (as well as some stray cats, but as 'cat' was one of your potential base forms, and you're kind of cat-ified anyway, you think it'd be a little mean to kill them).
You slink around behind her (sneaky-sneaky!), having fun pretending you're on an infiltration mission, while carefully directing her via texts to various rats, and giving their simple minds a nudge so they won't run from her.
You kind of want to chase them around a little. And maybe toss them in the air a few times. And bite their heads off.
But you won't! Eito is a good recruit! Rats are for your team to use, uh-huh!
Maybe she'll share...?
You watch as Rory seems sooooo unwilling to use Lightning Bolt on the rat. it's... kind of disappointing. She was okay with throwing Bolts at cans and stuff, right? But because the little things are quivering and squeak a little, she screws her face up and for a little while, you even worry she's going to decide she can't do it.
Eventually though, Ro- no, Wildstrike raises her hand and reluctantly hurls a Lightning Bolt at the rat, which gives a brief squeal before it's hit, and then - well, it can't squeal any more, can it?
She kills a couple more (one of them practically explodes, so gross!), before her mana drops to nothing, and you send her an encouraging text.
[ ] Give her a reward for her training.
-[ ] (What reward?)
[ ] Head back to your super-cool lair!

Name? I get to pick a name on top of this? You bounce slightly as her fingers move hesitatingly over the keypad, still standing just outside the Log-Inn's doorway, not even bothering to move. Lightning type? What - I have super-powers now, or something? That's crazy. I'M crazy. No-one else saw that glowing thing. Did they?BFS said:

Well, her response to killing even rats is reassuring on the behaviour front, and decidedly worrying on the fighting-vicious-invaders front...

When you apply game missions to real life, you can really find out who the normal people are, and who the deranged animal-mutilating psychopaths are, huh?Ginger Maniac said:
