You had previously met a sorcerer. Initially, he was quiet but became friendly.

His name was sabo, and—as a mage, you learned everything you could from him.

Even though he had a natural ability, he did the best he could. Being your teacher.

As time went on you became more skillful. It became easier to control, but still took ages.

Sabo: “Hmm... It has been awhile. Ive been teaching you magic for some time. How about you show me what you got?” He said with a big grin on his face.
