Where I'm from, magic is an inborn ability. Jayce and I developed a way for anyone to wield it, with special equipment and an appropriate conduit.

[That said, the "new magic" here is a far cry from the industrial-scale teleportation that they managed back home.]

There are similarities between what I'm familiar with, and what they do here. I'm hoping to gain a greater understanding of it. [Another vague wave of the hand, perhaps to indicate that academia is academia, no matter where they are.] It's...going.
