[Felix's eyes widen as Anders makes his display of magical ability. Absolutely no fear, just curiosity and a hefty bit of awe. His hands are clasped in his lap over the sketchbook, but he leans in just a little. Not too far, because he doesn't know what the magic is or what it does and doesn't want to mess anything up. But it's so cool.]

What does...is that a specific spell?

[...He's kind of forgotten Anders' brief reference to mage oppression, oops. Maybe he'll remember later.]

[This is nice, someone simply appreciating the beauty and use of magic rather than looking at it with disgust or distrust. Kids were like that, a lot of the time, usually it was the adults whose minds had shut down from anything different or ingrained prejudice.]

It's a healing spell, not a very powerful one, but effective. It can heal a scratch or sooth pains and strained muscles. Healing is what I'm best at, followed by electricity.

[At the mention, the blue fades away like falling silk and a burst of purple crackle and branching energy dances in Anders' hand before lacing it's way around his fingers and then pooling again in his palm. He snuffs it out quickly, though, curling his fingers in to close on the spell.]

I guess... [Felix starts talking, and then blushes a little, because he almost immediately realizes how silly his observation is going to sound...but makes it anyway.] I guess you don't need to, uh, use any sort of incantation to make your magic work?

[His expression is awkward and curious at the same time.]

That's mostly how it is in books back home. Words or, uh, wands.

[He smiles and shakes his head (a valiant effort not to laugh, he didn't want to scare off the kid from his curiosity.)]

Not so strange as you might think, one of my closest friends uses a wand and a lot of the spells she uses have words or incantations attached to them. Mages back home don't need those things, no, but most mages need the focus of a staff to ensure their spell doesn't hit a friend instead of an enemy.

Mine didn't come here with me and I've yet to find the components I'd like to make a new one, so for now I stick with what I'm good at. Once I find a focus, I'll be able to do things I have less of an inclination for safely.

[His smile turns from amused to thoughtful.]

You're a very curious young man. I must admit, it's surprising to find someone your age so eager to learn more about things unusual to them.

[Felix smiles at the observation, though it's still just a touch awkward. Which is about standard for Felix (this Felix) anyway. So it shouldn't be that much of a surprise.]

I mean, I think it's just...good to learn as much as you can, you know? To try and understand things.
