Elias

Elias is a mednoble from Ehrenfest currently attending the Royal Academy.

As a mednoble the same age as Roderick the two attend the same practical lesson of mana usage together. When Roderick repeatedly fails at dyeing a feystone in his mana, Elias advices him to request a different stone from Professor Hirschur, since different stones and traces of mana left by previous users of the stone can make it more difficult to dye them.

Roderick is sceptical that this will help, but still heeds the advice and to his surprise finally manages to dye a stone on his fourth attempt, earning praise from both Elias and Katinka, a fellow Ehrenfest student.
