"Oh. Sorcerers aren't losing things when they move stuff."

"Yeah, thought so. Are there any other kinds of magic some people can have that others can't? Some people can make potions, that one I know..."

"Oh, anybody can make potions."

"Really? Okay now that's cool."

"Is it?"

"Yeah, means I won't be magicless for as long as I'm stuck here."

"I'm not actually sure about you. Anybody here. Anybody here can be a wizard, too, pretty much."

"Yeah, but that's because of the CC, which I don't have. Is there a similar thing for potions? Where does the magic come from?"

"I don't know, I'm not a witch."

"Fair enough," he nods. "Any other kinds of magic some people have that others don't and aren't species-specific?"

"Mages? I've never been tested."

"Mmm someone might've told me about that, I don't remember, what is it?"

"Mages do element stuff?"

"Oh. Oh, hmm... It could be that? How do you find out?"

"There's a spell. Well, four."

"Cool. Well, it could be that, then, I guess. Using the spell is probably way faster than figuring it out my way, at least the first time."

"I don't really want to be a mage even if I can."

"Is there a negative to being a mage?"

"They're weird, and people are scared of them."

"Why are people scared of them?"

"They're scary?"

"Scarier than regular wizards? Or, say, dragons?"

"Well, yeah. Wizards if you can see their hands they're not doing anything. Dragons I guess could be scary but they don't, like, eat people."

"Do mages?"

"Eat people? No. But if one gets violent it's awful."
