I can smell a lazy student a mile away. This is the type who will send you private messages claiming that he is psychic and would like to develop his skill, and then, after you send him a list of books to read, he stops on the first few pages of the first book and says that he has difficulty "getting into it." He anticipates that you will serve him everything on a silver platter.

When you finally run him through the regimen of backbreaking martial arts, memorizing spells, and the possibility of having amulets implanted under his skin, he runs away.

Magic is as demanding as painting, writing, and knitting. That is why it is not for everyone.
