I'd say such an impressive book is not something he'd part with.
But Nar could have met my char after a battle and they discussed the secrets of magic. Or they could have yet to meet.
My character usually draw upon pure magic and then transform it to other effects to suit his needs.

Meaning that when tossing fireballs, Nar would be far superior. But Toradeen has a massive utility and choice in his magic.
As is only fitting.
