Sean leaned back and drank some coffee as he gathered his thoughts.
"Over the last five years or so? A great deal of digging through the stacks in old libraries, online auctions, and other places. After getting them I work through them to figure out if the book is full of a bunch of bollocks or not," Sean said, "Or making deals with a person who I know has already verified books. Before that a great deal of experimentation on my own without books. Just manipulating reality willy nilly really"
He paused for a moment again and drank more coffee.
"I've been able to use magic since I was a toddler though. My parents will tell guests stories of me using it to blow up the kitchen, play rooms, and the like. It's probably why I ended up having a maid full-time to make sure I didn't burn the house down. But suppose I just instinctively knew magic, the words, how to build a spell, how to modify that spell to make it work more efficiently. Almost like a voice in the back of my head guiding me through the steps I needed to follow. Saved me on several occasions when a book had a flawed spell or like in the house while we were fighting vampires."
