Laughing a bit, Sterling caught himself and coughed in an attempt to cover it up. "Uh, right. This is a hard one, so no worries if you don't know how to phrase it." He supplied, trying to contradict his familiar. Stupid Chime, always knowing how to make him giggle. But that was something Dante used to do for him. His sense of humor was, in many ways, his ultimate weakness. It was the reason he got into trouble so often, despite the fact he was one of the best students on campus. 

"The Fate theory is known in countless cultures. Some call it destiny, of the inevitable. As you know," He said, trying to make his students feel better since Chime made them feel like total idiots, "Spells concerning time travel and space manipulation are severely frowned upon." Then he quickly sent a glance to the twins, "Of course, space manipulation is hardly the same as teleportation. Anyways, being a time mage is quite rare. There are two individuals on campus with the ability to use time to their advantage." 

Clearing his throat, he continued. "One is a student, who was born with the ability to go back or forward in time a few minutes. That's all. While the potential power of a time mage is unthinkable, their powers are usually very limited. The great mage R. N. Eisenwald had the ability to send objects in time, but only to people who are born that day. It's a very complex ordeal, but she was able to alert countless people of danger before it happened, letting us circumvent certain disaster." He shook his head. 

"But as far as the general public knows, she's dead. Space manipulation is the talent to rip apart the very fabric of our dimension. This can lead to a black hole opening up where the tear is, or, even worse, for something to come into our world where it doesn't belong. No one in this room as space magic, but even if you did, you wouldn't be able to tear apart our world. Luckily, no known individual, human or otherwise, has ever known to be able to do that. But space mages can see tears in our dimension, leaving us to wonder just what exactly created them." 

Clearing his throat, Sterling pet Chime absently once more, scratching him where he knew he loved it. "Anyways, religious mages claim that the one creating these tears is God. No one really knows, but Ghost mages are able to sense an immense astral presence at the site of a tear. Some say that these tears are how souls traverse through our world into the afterlife. Anyone who attempted to enter, has never been seen or heard from again." He said mysteriously, in a cheerful tone. 

"Fate's Theory is that there is a track the omnipotent being of the universe has in mind for all of us, and no matter what we do, we cannot change what it wants or what is meant to happen. For example, if you traveled back in time to stop someone from dying, they would still die, but the circumstances could change. Initially, they were meant to be run over by a car. If you go back in time and mess with things, they could still he run over, but instead several other pedestrians and drivers are killed as well' making the situation worse." He informed grimly. 

"Uh, well that's all the basic theories of magic. Of course, there are more, but if I tell you any we'll have to take a quiz on it, so let's save that for later instead." He then rammed his hands together like he had an idea, nearly squashing his little sidekick. Then again, he wondered if he was the sidekick sometimes... "Oh, right! Well everyone at this school is also a freelance mage, which means we're all licensed to go on missions, of course, your permits are limited. You would have to go with a teacher, A.K.A. me. Missions can be really dangerous, so I don't need any dead weight." He muttered.
