Because I was kind of an asshole, if I'm to be honest with you. I was arrogant, and I wanted to learn magic for all the wrong reasons. I'm lucky they ended up taking me in at all. But Kamar-Taj taught me plenty of life lessons I should have picked up long before then. I owe a lot to my old master.
[As for explanation of Istredd's magic, well. That's fascinating. It reminds him a little bit of Wanda's abilities, or at least a branch of them that deals with illusions and manipulations of the mind. when does Istredd get to meet my psionic character huh]
Telepathy? That's impressive, and it's good of you to practice boundaries. I imagine it's an easy line to cross otherwise.
Eldritch magic is varied in uses and how it even manifests. But it's often defined by casting using specific hand gestures, and the sort of magical energy it exudes. Think lots of warm light, lots of mandalas. I'm due to show you sometime.
