It's true that there are several magus bloodlines in decline thanks, in part, to the means used in passing on certain aspects of their heritage. [Magic crests.] A resurgence like yours isn't unheard of, but I daresay your potential outstrips the other cases. For example: the quality of your magic circuits is remarkable.
[For reasons obvious to Merlin. He won't clue in his student just yet, believing that Watanuki is better off discovering for himself the nature of his own unstable existence.]
