"I'm Gabriel Bai, legally Bai Mingyu. Born May 20th, 1993. I doubt you actually care about my biography, but I come from what might be termed 'good stock'," he informed, voice still bone-dry. "Like you. Unlike you, I was born into it. Where I'm from, at least half the population has abilities similar to, if not as impressive, as mine. And anyone can gain them, in theory. It's mostly a matter of study. In practice, it falls primarily to the privileged."
As a gesture of goodwill, to indicate to Five that he truly did mean it when he promised to be forthcoming, he draws a paper talisman from his sleeve, one of his pre-drawn fire charms, and lights it. It makes an impressive plume of fire, then dissipates.
"I know all manner of charms, primarily in papercraft. I can transfigure items I'm familiar with the properties of with an adequate amount of silk cord, and I can enchant items if I have the correct spell components."
His smile sharpens a fraction and he looks Five over slowly.
"I can even teleport, though as I mentioned it's a far more involved process for me than it apparently is for you."
