good story so far but I find this chapter conflicting with the novel's premise. You set him up to be a talentless mage who through hard work and ingenuity manages to stand out. Now you've given him some kind of cheat, a crutch, which makes all that meaningless. It kills my interest in the story. Also there is a big difference between kindness and being a saint. One's a blessing, the others got problems with their head.
