"That's reasonably common with ambient mages, and craft mages much more so," says Rook. "Because our magic comes from things in the world around us that we might interact with in ordinary ways - and craft mages in particular have magic with processes and activities that aren't magical at all by themselves, that it's possible to learn and do in a completely ordinary way - it can be hard to draw a clear line between doing magic and doing things we just happen to have magic with. That's part of the reason why ambient magic is harder to spot than the academic kind. When an academic mage does magic, it's usually very obvious."
