It has it's benefits! There are people who believe that in order to truly understand how to make magic your own, you have to know the fundamentals of it. I went for the books only to a certain degree, then I taught myself. Truthfully, for as much as we tease each other, we all love magic and are impressed by each other on the daily.
I will simply assume the wizards agree with me and will put forth no argument!
But darling, if you have magical inclinations and want to know more, wizard or sorcerer or warlock or any other title, we'd be happy to help.
