Y'shtola and Arthur have both told me some about magic in your world— it must be nice to come from a place where almost anyone can use it.

[It means that their abilities are viewed as talents, rather than a curse or a weapon.]

For a long while, the only people who could use magic back home were Espers— some of them seem to have parallels with the primals of your world, although they're not nearly as destructive. Magic is something most people have to be born with.
