Syrlya raises a brow at that, but he doesn't ask further. Perhaps that's a touchy subject.

"He did say something like that, as well as his familiarity with healing magic." Although master of the Fade sounds a little more grandiose than he himself described it. Syrlya isn't sure if that's just because of his expertise being unique, or his humility.

"Actually, it sounded as though magic exists very differently between our worlds. My understanding is that yours comes from outside Thedas, from the Fade, and is tied heavily to spirits. Tyrian magic is part of the world itself, so it is more common and accessible... and there's no risk of possession."

He adds that on almost too quickly, suddenly remembering what seemed to be the big fear revolving around magic in Thedas: the spirits, demons, basically.
