She WANTS to read the instructions?

Where is the fun in that?

So are you a Short Giant or a Tall Dwarf?

Of course shrinking will help your math skills.  Concepts like Fractions, Decimals, Quantum Mechanics, and Infinitesimals are easier to understand if you can observe them in their natural habitat.

Balancing yourself with yourself sounds like it would cause a logical paradox.

"Whoops, I suddenly somehow became taller and shorter simultaneously."

I would imagine that such a setting would have the same result as Ellen's beams with those effects. So any two symbols that directly oppose each other, will likely just cancel out and not do anything.

If you want fun, you get the instructions, try to do it without them and then read them and realize how many mistakes you did.

Without instructions, it wouldn't be funny when you wouldn't know how to fix those mistakes.

You might start with realizing that it is NOT POSSIBLE to observe either no matter how small you became.

You might, theoretically, with huge amount of shrinking and lot of spicy magic, observe chemical reactions as molecules hitting each other. But you can't observe quantum mechanics because observation CHANGES it a lot, and infinitesimals are INFINITELY smaller than you and no amount of shrinking would change that.

Never minding that chemical reactions take only a few microseconds to happen, which thus requires that your sense of time be super compressed in order to see them happening . . .

....So, you want to balance less size with more speed, repeat to the limit of the scale.

And I just realized what Ash....I mean Circe, was referring to by how it could be abused, Min-Maxers would have a field day with those scales.

The real abuse is to "balance" with someone who doesn't agree with it.

... maybe making yourself significantly faster would also be an option.
