No. It’s because everyone at the Clock Tower is an elitist, high and mighty asshole, and my family has only been practicing magic since my grandmother started.
[ His shoulders raised in a shrug, waving a fry around lightly before eating it with a small huff. Professor Kayneth loved to remind him of this every time he tried to suggest something that went against the grain. ]
It’s because in magecraft, generally it’s thought that the older the family, the more power they have because they’ve had more time to perfect and add knowledge and power to their magic crest. [ He paused, wondering if Nida knew what a magic crest was. Probably not if he didn’t know the rest of this. ] Magic crests are like… a kind of magical organ that gets transplanted to the heir each generation. So, no one sees much value in a family that’s only been practicing for such a short time. It’s pretty stupid. They refuse to look at the possibility that with the right approach and hard work, even a new mage could keep up with the rest of them.
