[ MAGIC ]xxShaban's magical ability far exceeds that of his younger brother, Raya, but his manifestations are not overtly powerful or awe-inspiring in the destructive sense. Rather, his magic relies almost entirely on his mental prowess and centres exclusively around his love of literature and reading. His mind functions as a personal library, from which he can draw forth any book he has read in his lifetime and create a physical copy of it in the real world. He also possesses the extraordinary ability of omnilingualism, meaning that he can understand, write, and speak any language even if he's never heard or seen it before. These gifts are partly the reason he has become such a reputable scholar.
