Bab 423: Scanning Test

Abel hadn't seen a lot of advanced wizards before. He couldn't tell if what Wizard Lorenzo was saying was true. Still, he decided to keep an open mind and accept this statistic.

Abel asked, "So, from what you're saying, wizards get distracted from their training when they do something else?"

Wizard Lorenzo was about to give a dead set "yes" to that question, but Abel was a perfect example of a wizard who had been distracted to do something else. After becoming a grandmaster blacksmith, it took him little more than two years to become an official wizard.

"About that, I guess, um..." Wizard Lorenzo changed his mind after thinking, "It all depends on the person's talent, Grandmaster Abel. You're a special case. There's no doubt about that, but for most people, it's best if they don't divert their efforts to something else other than magic."
