And the conclusion of it being intelligence was logical and usually, that pointed to... mages? Magic was a big part of this world and in movies, scholars were often portrayed as magic users. So that might be the answer?

Ipharia decided to test it out as she showed what was a light spell. She had mentioned that it was a basic spell, so any aspiring mage should be able to know it. Teaching it wouldn't be too difficult, she imagined. So if Kaito was magic-based, learning it would be very easy. As she explained it, Kaito replicated her movements - staring intensely at it until he suddenly relaxed. And with an outstretched hand, he had summoned the same ball of light as Ipharia had done. 

To say that Hiroko was surprised that it worked would be an understatement. Ipharia didn't even get an explanation of how magic worked in this world but Kaito had managed to perfectly mimic the action without trouble. He seemed just as confused at the turn of events and Hiroko couldn't blame him. She and Honami had the same problem earlier, with the realization of their own gained abilities.

And it also looks like you can learn spells in a second."[/color][/b] She continued. After all, Kaito doesn't even know how magic works and yet somehow cast a spell. The only conclusion they could derive from that is that he somehow registered the spell in his head the moment he saw it and is able to use that spell himself.
