"...you can use magic?" Octavo blinks at him, pizza box still in hand. "I thought you were a regular human. Why didn't you ever mention you came from someplace with magic?"
From what Eiden is saying, it sounds like magic was as mundane a skill as weaving or pottery, so perhaps he didn't find it worth bringing up?
" Nope", Eiden responds, truthfully, " I can use essence. There's a difference. "
" Essence is the magical energy sorta kinda thing you need to use for magic, I just happen to have loads of it. I can technically only transfer it and use it to look for certain sorta things, it keeps me sort of healthy, it heals me ... but it's still different from magic. "
Basically it has it's properties but he can only wield essence around or transfer it.
" Anyway, I got summoned there. So I don't really come from there... or uh, I do but I grew up in a normal world and then just got summoned. By accident. "
