[Sabriel doesn't seem to be disappointed so far. He's making an effort, and even if he didn't succeed at first, there's nothing to stop him from trying again.]
An infinity, or close to it. But if you hold the symbol you're looking for in your head, you'll find it. [There's a quiet confidence in her tone. Sabriel reaches forward, touching Felix's own mark. She lets the Charter wash over her, then takes her fingers away, smudging the wood ash to show the Charter mark beneath- faint enough to be mistaken for an old scar or tattoo, and easy enough for an unobservant person to miss.]
It will take time, at first, and a certain amount of willpower. Learning and practicing Charter magic requires memorization and meditation. The more you reach into the Charter, the easier it is to find what you're looking for. After a while, it's like the marks come to you. Reach out the Charter, and it reaches back, in its own way.
[Sabriel offers him a reassuring smile.] Try again. Take your time, and focus.
