"Everyone who has access to magic should study it," Istredd responds firmly. "At least in my opinion, although that may be asking quite a lot, as we all have it here." So that is expecting every Summoned brought here to learn the way he did, but that is exactly what Istredd does. He teaches newcomers how to make certain they don't hurt themselves or others, and hopefully that magic is a beautiful tool worth keeping.

"I teach magic to people here as well." He is as much a teacher these days as he is a scholar, but it will be the first thing on his mind, always. He was a researcher too long. "I was in the research chapter of my magical organization, education is something I value highly, although admittedly I understand it is a privilege too." There are magic users in his world who simply can't have access to the training he did.
