"Is all your magic in words and memorized spells?"
It wouldn't be that unusual, it would be close to academic magic after all, only if the language was impossible to find more of. It would be like Thorne if they had no actual books on it, only guesses at the right things to say. There are those types of spells and magic in his sphere, but it is not really what connects the mages to their magic. They don't need to speak at all.
"What does it feel like when you use it? Does the power come only when the words are spoken, or do you feel it in you always?"
He is not asking this to imply that Kell being able to use words only is a bad thing, everyone's magic is displaying differently, but in pure academic terms Istredd is wondering if there is a work around. A way for Kell to tap into his abilities without needing to know a full dead language in order to do it.
