[Ah, imagination. That was one of Watanuki's weaker skills. He was talented in the kitchen and good at retaining information given to him, but he hadn't really had a chance to imagine his own outcomes yet. His creativity was more in line with 'add your own personal flair to a time-tested recipe'.
Then again, magic was like that, wasn't it? Merlin was to teach him the recipes for magic, and he would add his own flavor to them. Maybe he could be kind, if he tried hard to use his magic for others and not wholly to benefit himself.
But then again, Merlin was making it sound like anything was possible, so long as Watanuki imagined it. Was it really that simple? Watanuki was a bit of a skeptic.
In the coming months and years, both men would quickly learn that Watanuki's main limitation was his own stubborn mind. Overcoming that was the key to unlocking Watanuki's magic potential. ]
You know that goes against my entire educational experience up to this point, right?
[Oh, Japanese schools. Rote memorization did not help with magic.]
...but alright. I'll try it. And I'll try not to get overwhelmed by it.
