It's not an entirely satisfactory answer, but it will do. He tries to smooth out the creases on his brow before he speaks. "Well... You're going to have to learn a little patience with this."

He takes up his cup again to sip at it. "Magical ability is like a muscle. You have to train your body for it, you have to train your mind, and you have to set out a routine. Learning how to use it is takes time. Overextend yourself and you could hurt yourself, or other people. It's not even worth risking, because you might hurt yourself so badly that you can never use it properly again."

"All the masters of magic are patient." He holds out a hand, fingers flicking out as he counts. "Oraskis, the Archon, Nathaniel Blackmore, every Healer that has ever graced the family... They all have patience."
