Well... I guess 'hit the ground crawling' is a little more accurate, anyways. [The smile doesn't fade for a second, even as he scratches the back of his neck with a wink.]

I'm a wizard, myself, and the magic system here was different enough that I'm still having to learn from scratch. It's all so tiring compared to back home, too. [No Ed, you're just shit at rationing mana.]

School is definitely a good place to start learning, anyways. Got an eye on any Branches in particular?
