(If Alex had to choose, probably magic. He’s already skilled with daggers and a polearm. Already knows poisons. He has no real skills with magic though. Never had anyone to teach him and it’s not exactly something you can learn alone. Not for him at least. He’d enjoy knowing a little fire magic.)

(Healing or Holy magic. Lance, like Alex, knows various weapons but has no training with aether for spells. Lance actually has a smaller personal aether pool. A counter balance to the fact that he’s physically strong and durable. He would like to know at least some healing magic to at least be better able to protect and save those he cares about.)

(Close fighting combat abilities. He has zero interest in magic but he does regret never learning how to deal with close range dangers. After a few mishaps, he’s realized how vulnerable that makes him.)
