"Focus," he said.  "You need to exert your will.  Thinking and saying them is nothing.  That's not an expendable item in your hand.  It's a spellbook.  A grimoire.  It gives you what you need to know.  You need to study those words, the magic behind the words, until you feel it ingrained within your mind.  I'm teaching you like a mage as opposed to a sorceror.  We'll see if it takes."  A lift of one shoulder showed that he didn't know which would take.  If she looked puzzled, he'd grin.<br/><br/>"A mage memorizes his spells beforehand," he began.  "Usually at the beginning of the day.  A sorceror's spells are innate, they're just known to him or her.  We'll find out which you are here shortly.  The first spell should unlock whatever talent you have."  A pause before he'd continue.  "I'm a sorceror.  My spells are innate.  However, I keep a broad selection of magic at hand in case I need to develop new magic for Xyveris."
