[Everyone can learn magic. It sounds like a sales pitch to him. Christian smiles a little, caught between the wishful thinking of having people be able to accept people like him and treat them like a normal occurrence and the inevitable downfall that would come from an invasion of magic. The overpowering energy of belief would wash over a world like his like a tidal wave and devastate a lot of areas.]
Seems like it. Where I'm from, people can't just learn magic because they want to. A lot of people could. They have it in them, you know? But there are no schools. No organized teachers around who are necessarily going to show you what to do. The psychics have training. A lot of it, but that's because they have been training since who knows how long. Descendants of Abe no Seimei or Black Elk, and today most people barely recognize the names. They wouldn't believe in what they did even if they've heard of them.
The rest of us just... stumble in. If you told anyone you were a wizard, they'd probably laugh you all the way to the nearest discount Halloween store.
