"Magic is a natural phenomenon, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Elemental powers when settling a physical dispute, proves useful at times." "'I've never been interested in social interactions. My research on magic is proof enough that being social is not one of life's necessities." "Based on my observations, many people inflict trouble upon themselves. Life has enough hardships, thus we teach magic to ease them— not add to them. Be warned, magic can also lead to destruction if misused."
