Hmm, a different set of events than I imagined, but that's the arena for you I guess. 

You know I do really like the why Matz uses magic, he actually uses Somatic components. An art I thought was dead in the arena when it comes to powers or magic. You have no idea how annoying I find the idea of people manipulating elements and powers with nothing but a thought or with their minds with no outward signs. Heck T1 even says you have to make it apparent your using an ability or prepping... >.>

Though he does weave precise hand gestures so fast it would make the hand signs in Naruto look like stop-action slow motion. :P
