"Not a bad plan," A slight nod was given before he picked up again "though, you gotta be careful about not spreading yourself too thin, otherwise you'll never get up to doing the stronger magicks." Another nod would be given. "Makes sense. I'll ask around too." Raising the cup up, another sip of the tea was carefully taken and thankfully, finally, it was cool enough to really drink.
