Merlin sounds like what I'd want, really. I don't need the whole textbook of magical theory in my head. It'd confuse me, I just know. I learn best when you tell me how something works without bothering to tell me why... It's simple that way.

Hey, this is a dumb question since I do wanna learn magic, but do you guys really just let every newbie jump in like this if they ask? It's kind of an "ok, have fun, not our fault if you die" attitude, isn't it?
