"It is polite to offer your own name during conversation," Temps can't decide if Max is nervous or has a speech problem, or both.
"Ah, the rules are a bit complicated to explain all at once," Temperance says "the most important ones is that people with magic, what I call mages, always have the ability to sense magic and at least one other power."
Temps sips from a glass of water.
"A mage gets powers depending on a few factors, skills, personality and heredity," Temps continues "the last one means that your powers are influenced by the powers of your family,ancestors or the mages that gave you power, I will explain that in a minute. Using a power costs a energy we call mana. Side note: I using my preferred terms, but back home people have all sort of different names like witches, psychics, gifted, post-humans, etc. It only got worse after magic went public. Anyway, one can be born a mage like me, or one can be infused with magic. The popular process needs two or three mages who expend twelve hour sending purified mana to the mage candidate."
Temperance can't help but feel very curious about Max reaction to that.
