Morena read for as long as she could without forgetting why she was there.
She did not bother trying to memorize the exact wording of every page; instead, she let the AI absorb it all, while she focused on what mattered most to her.
Information, patterns, cause, and effects; she wanted to find out as much about Wizards as possible in a short time. Specifically, how to form her Matrix, and how to avoid past issues.
She refused to fall under any common mistakes she could avoid by reading.
The further she read, the more she realized something. Most apprentices who failed were not stupid, nor completely lacking in talent. They failed because they were impatient in the wrong way. They rushed the wrong things, or ignored warnings, or assumed that because they could endure pain, they could endure anything.
They treated magic like something that could be beaten into submission.
Morena knew better than that.
