[ The wine is there, and Joshua could easily take more sips, but he's so intent on listening. Everything Reno says, he hangs onto, considering them all facts about his world, accuracy be damned. ]
Where I am from, the origin of all magic is called the Aether, and it is the land's life force. When there is a concentrated amount of Aether, it turns into crystals, and can be used to use magic.
[ How interesting, that Reno comes from a world that is different, but almost the same. Though he hopes Reno's world is not on the verge of collapse due to Mako. One world is enough. ]
Those who are able to use magic without the aid of crystals are called Bearers, but the magic that they are able to use are limited. They are not as powerful as one may think, however, for continued casting of magicks renders them susceptible to the crystal's curse until they crumble away.
[ He could go on and on about Bearers, but he figures a "party" is not the right place for it, nor is it also the time to do so when's only just met the man. ]
Then, there are Dominants. They are hosts to Eikons, and are able to use their magic and can summon them and become one. Those you mentioned— Phoenix, Shiva, Ramuh, Garuda, Titan, Bahumut, Odin, and Leviathan the Lost. One for each element, supposedly.
[ Finally. Finally, Joshua takes a sip of his wine. ]
There is much about what is outside Valisthea that remains unknown. All I am knowledgeable about is information from where I am from. And this- Gaia— your world, interests me greatly. And dare I say, worries me, as well.
