As Daja is considered an adult by the Winding circle, a fact that is acknowledged with the entrustment of her mage medallion, she is responsible for aiding those whom she personally discovers as having magic. However, because of her lack of skill and magic in either of the twins' disciplines, she investigates and eventually entrusts the twins to local mages for instructions pertaining to the development of their craft. However, Daja retains responsibility for teaching them to meditate, as both areas of instruction for the twins are loud areas where teaching of meditation is inadvisable. Since the twins are complete opposites in personality, this proves to be a challenging task.
