She is quick with an answer. The silence makes her skin crawl.
"Oh, no. Or, hardly at all. As I said, I have written down some general details as to the nature of my skill which I believe might be in my personnel file, but with very few exceptions I don't believe they are known whatsoever. And so there has been very little in the way of comparing notes, so to speak. And to be candid, prior to Mr. Fitz and Mr. Stark's arrival, I had almost no interest in the subject whatsoever.

I am very fond of systems, you see. And of modifying them, I suppose. And the more we have studied the rifts and what comes through them, the more compelling the whole subject is. I should discuss the subject with Jenny Lou as well. She spoke of educating herself—"

But for others, or for some powerful spellwork, they fall beyond the diameter of the thing and so cannot pass through. Were you to travel to the Fade itself, perhaps you might conduct yourself as you're accustomed."
