Gabe can't help the grin on his face at the genuine curiosity and interest Drake is showing in magic. This area is Gabriel's specialty too. Oh the things he could show his lover. "That's quite impressive." He nearly purrs into the vampire's ear. "It's rare that mortal casters even know that much. We keep a tight hold on our magics after all." He wants Drake to know that he appriciates his mind and wit, not just his body. Well, everything about the man really, aside from the toxic attitude he'd been presented upon their meeting.<br/><br/>"I have made some progress, but it is slow going. I have to translate the spell, then figure out what it does. 50-50 chance it is a useful spell. Then I have to look through the magic and see if it can be fueled by holy magic. Then there are the material casting elements and whether they can be ethically obtained... So far out of 6 spell books I have gotten 10 new spells." He says it was frustrating but by far an easier method for acquiring new spells than attempting to create them. Creativity is difficult for angels.
