Could we learn blue magic second hand?

Spoilers for Masked Carnivale and the BLU storyline inside this box.

Given that the takeaway from the spoilered text in this post is, YES, a BLU can learn spells from other BLUs, the question might arise as to why Martyn doesn't just set the WoL down and cast Blue Magic until he's passed on everything he knows?

Well, Martyn seems to feel that the "journey" is a vital and important part of becoming a Blue Mage. Whether it actually IS so important is unclear. That might just be Martyn's opinion. Certainly players who've tracked down Primal spells might argue that it'd be great if they could just watch other players cast instead. XD

What, and you mean actually doing something!? (Other than getting paid for what the WoL does for "Training")

Where's the Gil in that?

Well... I dare say it was the Whalaqee that tought Martyn that the journey was important, probably part of their culture surrounding Blue Magic (That, or the fact that Martyn wasn't very good at learning Blue Magic in the first place, according to Whastrach, so I don't think he's too keen on trying to actually teach anyone). I'm sure that Whastrach would probably disagree on that notion too and if it was profitable likely would teach you a bunch of Blue Magic.

Clearly he just doesn't want to be beaten up repeatedly as a necessary part of the learning process....
