The first thing Felix noticed about this individual was that he only had one mana-well, his latent mana-well. And the depth of it was not much larger than a normal human's mana-well. However, it was in fact larger. The largeness, coupled with the fact that this man had a colored aura, something that normal humans did not have, meant that he was an Untalent studying magic. The smell of the chemicals in the air could have only been produced by a medium sized explosion of some sort. Examining the soot, and the smell of the chemicals, as well as the very small and quickly fading mana-wave signature of a spell having been cast, he concluded it was a fire based spell. The small mana-wave signature didn't make much sense, with the amount of force that was produced here. Felix couldn't quite understand how it was that this force could have been produced so efficiently. Then Felix glanced the charm in the man's hand, if Felix was correct, it was a short-term amnesia charm. Although it had been a long time, Felix doubted the amnesia charm would have worked on him. During training at the basilica, every apprentice has to undergo resistance training, as every apprentice is training to eventually become a magi. Some of the things they trained against were memory altering magics and the like. Though it had been about twenty years since then, Felix assumed he wouldn't have been affected by it. But with the charm coupled with the efficient fire spell, Felix had put the pieces together and assumed this man was a scholar from Societas Academia. One of the only schools that actively accepts Untalents and trains them if they are willing. 

Felix whistled a note of amazement, "You seemed to not only have succeeded as an Untalent, but your yellow aura showing the desire for knowledge and utmost curiosity, I can see that you are actually a genius. Making runic formulae that are up to twenty times more efficient than a normal spell of the same caliber. I am actually quite impressed. Not everyone has such a great understanding of mana manipulation." Felix mused, "There's no doubt about it, you must be Travis McGrath. My apologies for not introducing myself earlier, my name is Felix Glasius."
