Yes, that does sound like a weird question. It would have sounded much weirder before Carthak, when she had the dubious pleasure of seeing a human turn himself into a stormwing - and inherit stormwing magic in the process - but Ozorne had the Gift even before he changed. Nor had he done it to himself a-purpose; the new kind of magic would have been a very poor consolation.

Her own musings on top of Sam's subtle change in posture leave her feeling just a bit indignant about what he may be implying, and she stands a bit straighter. "I was born with it. Just about everyone in my realm with any sort of magic is born with it." Frowning a little, she asks, "How could you make a deal for it?" Besides plunging a metal feather into your wrist.
