The next morning, Blonsky got up to practice magic alongside the students of Kamar-Taj, though he genuinely lacked any talent for it. He spun his hands around to no avail, not a single spark appearing. Even an eight-year-old child could conjure a portal, yet Blonsky couldn't manage so much as a spark.
"This magic really relies entirely on talent, doesn't it?"
Mordo consoled Blonsky, saying, "Diligent study and hard work can lead to success as well. Talent is secondary—just keep practicing for a few days and see how it goes."
