They're called blackberries. Don't ask me why, I've no clue. [She's reaching up to absently pet at Chime, who is curled around her neck like some sort of demented necklace.] You probably wouldn't believe the truth of it if I told you- I can assure you that it sounds quite mad.

*charming, relieved smile*
Believe me, I've heard quite a few things lately that most would categorize as mad. The very fact that I am here is enough to make me keep an open mind.
As far as I can tell, we're in the story of some overpowered, scarcely-controlled ambient mage whose power expresses itself through writing. Worse, she's not particularly good at her craft. [Charming smile has no effect on Tris!]
Oh, my apologies. *peers down at his video* Is that...what IS that around your neck? *forgive him, he's discovering strange, exciting new things. He'll be like a child until he gets used to everything*
She's a glass dragon- a magical accident that happened to be a most triumphant example to convince a student I had that he was, indeed, a mage. [Tris rubs her fingers under Chime's chin, earning that strange glass-armonica purr.]
[Question it and she will give you the Most Triumphant Example of an ambient mage.] That she is. Not many ambient mages break out in ways that create a thing of beauty, instead of destroying things or scaring people.
*Okay no, his curiosity always wins out* Now, when you say 'ambient mage', what is it exactly that you mean? *still watching the glass dragon, wishing he could meet her in person so he could see it up close*
Where I'm from, there are two sorts of mages. Academic mages, who are likely what you think when I say mages, and ambient mages, who are born with power expressed through a specific thing- such as plants, glass, all sorts of thread-working, smithing- and even the weather. Most people tend to underestimate the more subtle touch of an ambient mage... [Unless you're about as subtle as a brick, the way she is.]
*he sits down, and mutters to himself for a moment about various manifested mutations and how could he have missed such a thing. He's not being intentionally vague, he's just thinking too fast for his muttering to keep up*

What. [Listen to snippets of things on the wind enough and you learn to pick out what people are saying when they mutter. She might not catch all of it, but...]

*licks his lips and gathers his thoughts so he can explain. Hand gestures are a go!*
I have, in fact, met various people with mutations such as you describe, but not in the concentration I imagine you mean. From what you are saying there is a community of these 'mages' correct? And yet I have never even heard of it. *much less felt it himself. He connected with so many mutants using Cerebro and it still seems as if his knowledge is severely lacking*
[Tris is folding her arms.] There are schools of magic, yes, for those born with the power to use it. However, there is a degree of magic inherent in all people, there if you have the eyes to see it. [Tris is adjusting her glasses significantly.]
Incredible, though I must disagree that all people are capable to a degree. Most of the population, so far as I can thus tell, are entirely human with no ability whatsoever.
I could be wrong, of course, but in my research there is nothing at all that says individuals without the mutated gene are capability of using what you call 'magic'.
*he is trying to sound completely respecting of her beliefs, but it's just so HARD when magic, as people commonly think of it, just doesn't exist*
