Curiosity, mainly. Magic in my world... I thought we had none to speak of, but then my crew encountered a creature that upended that particular worldview. I've yet to make sense of it. These sorts of supernatural things are foreign to me, and if I'm to return, I think it best to spend some time expanding my mind. Understand the possibilities that may open to me.

Of course, sir, I'm sure your magic is a far stretch beyond what exists in my world.
