[ That does seem to be a constant, doesn't it? Some people Magnus very much respects! ]

Understandably so! I'm familiar with a wide variety of magic from my own world and it took me, oh, a few months to really get used to the idea of a lot of the things I saw when I first left it! Curiosity killed the cat and all. [ But satisfaction brought him back! ... back to a different universe entirely? ]

You're always so curious yourself, Axel. It's a trait I admire! [ He's thinking back to their previous discussions on magic. ] I was born with my magic, though I've met people who learned or who had it given to them

[ That's a nice choice, for sure. Magnus might be eyeballing something with an impressive pineapple garnish. ]
