Had Devon know Regis was just as excited by magic as he is, he'd be nearly ecstatic. Where he's from there's such clan divisions between magicians that discussing different types of magic doesn't usually go over very well. He's never met someone else just as interested in learning as many different types of magic as possible.

"W-what?"

He had to be kidding, right?
