I'll get better with my magic. [That's exactly why he's learning and that should be clear to Jason now that he has more pieces to the puzzle.] I'll get better but I can do the technological research. That's what I'm good at. That's what I can do to help. [He has zero idea what he's doing. Genius though he may be, he's still a 14 year old boy who's prone to making stupid decisions sometimes based on his own emotions. It's a recipe for disaster and it's going to go one of two ways: he's either going to grow from this, or he's going to fall apart and tear them all down with him.] You're missing the point. She asked me. I have to do this.
