SOLVED. YA Fantasy. Magical items that enhance powers, spectacles of knowledge, ring that makes you strong.

[Larissa]

I read this book early 2024 and I am fairly sure it was just released or it was a new release. It was about a group of teenagers, the protagonist was a female. She went to a school and it did have one magical class but it did not focus on magic. You were only chosen to be in that class if you had powers and she didn't at that time. Her mom passed when she was young - it was when the world had an earthquake and it swallowed up a bunch of people but you later found out that this was when the world split apart from the magical world and it became two different realms.
They go on to discover different magical items - she finds the spectacles of knowledge in her grandfathers library but they only work for her one friend - I think the name is Max, but I am not sure. She later finds a pen that turns into a sword for another friend and I believe a ring that when you wear it makes you stronger but drains your life force.
She discovers a shop that you have to pay with your aura to enter the magical world. Later she gets a letter or something like that, that lets her travel between worlds.
Please help me find this book!
