"Academic Magic does seem to come naturally to mages from other spheres. It requires memorization of a variety of spells they've tested and perfected and the knowledge of how to cast." So knowing already how to use a spell, easy. Having experience using willpower to push magic, easy. He has no doubt Gale will find the adjusting period simple if he's as interested in magic as he seems.
"High Magic is used in Solvunn, it requires the blessing of their gods, so we don't use it here. New Magic is utilized in the Free Cities, it's a blend of Academic Magic and technology." Istredd doesn't understand technology since he's from a sphere where the most they've learned is how to make cannons and some better warfare. He finds it fascinating but it is very difficult coming from a mind without context.
"Wild Magic exists everywhere, it is based on emotions, and many use it without thinking. I would say it may be the most persisting, but it's not widely acknowledged." Istredd is fairly simple that almost every Summoned uses Wild Magic until they understand how to formally do any of the other spells. It comes from instinct, not learning.
