"heh... and you probably won't from anyone else." He hardly seemed shocked from her words, it was expected really, he was half surprised she wasnt running off screaming really. "It's not rare, it's part of the two types that were labeled as forbidden magic. In the past wars it was labeled as being too powerful or too corrupt so it was sealed away or the tomes were destroyed.. though there are a few places where such things still reside untouched."

He had to laugh at her though when she went on to ask if he was born with it. "Hardly... This was the type known as necromancy, or if you rather the keepers of bones in some legends and tales. It's not a type you are born with unless you happen to be a death god I suppose." He shrugged a little. "We'll just say that fate happened me to a place where there were untouched tomes and allowed me to study out of the kingdoms eye for many years..."

Sure he had noticed that she had gotten closer, but still being in the forest he wasn't about to tempt fate, even if he could handle himself. "It wasn't always easy trust me, and the other magic has a high cost in it's use just as this one... The other type of forbidden magic is known as blood magic. Where death magics like this use the casters life energy to perform the spell the blood magic uses the body of the caster.. thus over use was the leading cause to death in most of the mages back when the art was being formed."

He seemed to stop after his last sentence before waving his hand in the air a little. "but im sure all of that bored you to tears, so i'll leave it at that." He was use to being carried away when it came to talking about the types of magic but he also knew that most couldn't stand such conversations even if they were into the trade.
