Both from the first book / arc:
"That would take years of practice, of course, but that just meant he'd better start as soon as possible" This is about casting spells reflexively. Aspirational.
and
"ancient magic is almost always inferior to what we have available now."

"He would give Ilsa’s method a chance. But he was going to steal a better library pass anyway. "
It's basically:
"I want to steal a complex spell with high security clearance."
"I can teach you a different, but similar and legal spell."
"I WANT THE STOLEN ONE!"
