She'll agree that no one had passed the trials, before; it's not the only method of qualifying to become the Knight. Any mortal can, especially those who have served the Court before, can become the Knight, though they have to distinguish themselves in some manner. Many have performed great deeds before, and are well known in the world. Completing the Trials, however, has distinguished him beyond many.<br/><br/>She'll admit she didn't know the last Knight well. He died of old age, about fifty years ago, after serving for more than seven decades, though Caiphias might sense that 'old age' might not mean 'died in bed', but rather, old age led to his death in battle. She does know that, prior to becoming the Knight, he was a renowned human general, leading armies for a nearby nation; his PDA will contain a brief, but informative, file on the man, including his life before and after becoming the Knight, including the fact that he must've been over 120 years old, when he died.<br/><br/>As he plays around with his magic, he'll quickly discover a few things; that the magic is, as she stated, mostly for the creation or improvement of things, including healing, creation of new things, or improvements. For example, he can make the wood of the table harder and sturdier, and grow new pieces out of it. He'll also quickly learn that, when focused on himself, the effects are easier to manipulate, and provide a greater effect, than when directed outward at others. Finally, he'll discover, after a while, that it's rather tiring, like stretching a muscle he didn't know he had.
