Essek watches the exchange quietly, smiling softly in Caleb's general direction as he listens to the man talk, listens to him expertly explain his field and a spell he was intimately familiar with. It was easy to get drawn into it before he is pulled back with the exchange of the component.

His attention shifts to Frumpkin again, for only a second before Elidibus addresses him, questions if he is also versed.

"Ah, yes. I am skilled in a similar magical practice as Caleb, though my specialty differs from his own," he pauses, looking over the other man curiously. If Caleb had been willing to share, Essek sees no reason to exercise a similar caution. "My specialty lies in the manipulation of gravity, time, and potential. While our two schools can be complimentary, they are quite different."
