The Hermit, or the Magician's name was Katharina Carlisle. She doesn't seem to have any nicknames, so he couldn't help but feel confused. He couldn't recall her name being mentioned in the History Class they'd studied.
For a Mystic Arts Practitioner who could manipulate time, Vale knew that her name must be widely spread in the past.
It was unfortunate, but perhaps the missing fragments of her memories could answer his confusion.
In any case, as he absorbed the memories, he realized something even more amazing.
The Hermit had hidden a powerful artifact called the Temporal Timepiece, which was rumored to amplify Time Manipulation abilities to unimaginable levels. The location of this Artifact remained a mystery, and only those who possessed the deepest understanding of time magic could unlock its secrets.
In short, even if Vale gets this Artifact, he wouldn't be able to use it unless he had the talent that was needed.
