Indeed: my grandmother is the one who taught me the basics of magic while growing up. Though, she could be strict as a teacher, as she was not afraid to scold me often if I botched a particular spell or potion in the beginning. At the same time however, she could also give the most grandiose praise whenever I succeeded, even if it was the most elementary of magic to perform.

[It's pretty obvious from his tone that Azul holds a lot of respect and fondness for her here as he continues.]

Regardless, she has quite the knowledge of ancient magic, thanks to her many years of honing her own skills as a mage. Some of which she actually taught me herself, or would at least allow me to peruse her books regarding old spells and potions on occasion. I'm sure you would enjoy reading those books as well, given your interest in the subject.
