Learning magic is mostly done under the guidance of official teachers. Collages to temper the talents. Though you can learn by yourself which is lack luster compared to official training. You can train under a master of any kind though. Rogue wizard or the such. Thalen learned from his elders. Learning new magic can go through reading old tomes of magic which explain the fundamentals of the spell or, through trial and error mostly, come up with a new spell yourself.Edit: Learning a spell that is very different from the sort of magic you know is difficult. Haklo will have a hard time to learn a fireball spell due to his use of mental magics

What about shifting Alteral's sun magic to Fire magic, making it effective on almost everything instead of specifically vampires and other creatures of the night?
