His magic instruction is gated by induction into the order: he leads the acceptance oath (aufnahme) and only opens each magic Circle in turn, and only teaches the higher Circles once you have completed the Trial of Fire (rekindling the shrines of Innos).

Corristo: Brothers of Innos. We are gathered here today to allow a new soul into our ranks.
Corristo: Seeker. Repeat after me the Oath of Fire.
Corristo: Oh, Lord Innos, I swear by thy power ...
You: Oh, Lord Innos, I swear by thy power ...
Corristo: By thee, oh Cleansing Flame, oh Bringer of Light, oh Warden of Order, and Scales of Justice ...
You: By thee, oh Cleansing Flame, oh Bringer of Light, oh Warden of Order, and Scales of Justice ...
Corristo: That, from this day on, my soul and my deeds shall forever be entwined with thy righteous flame ...
You: That, from this day on, my soul and my deeds shall forever be entwined with thy righteous flame ...
Corristo: Until my flame doth perish, and my life departs this fleeting world.
You: Until my flame doth perish, and my life departs this fleeting world.
You: Tell me about the nature of magic Circles.
Corristo: Of course. The Circles represent your share of the magical source.
Corristo: They stand for knowledge, aptitude, and the mastering of new spells.
Corristo: The spells are embedded in the runes. They are inexhaustible, but bear in mind, it is YOUR energy they draw from.
Corristo: And this synergy will wake a hunger for pure magical power in you.
Corristo: It demands many hours of studying and requires much experience, especially if you want to pursue the higher Circles.
Corristo: But your efforts would be rewarded with much more powerful spells. And the runes enable you to tap into every god's magic.
You: What does it mean to be a mage?
Corristo: It's a great honor, and a great responsibility. Many see us as magic-wielding monks currying favor with kings and generals, but that's not who we are.
Corristo: Magic and politics are inevitable components of being a mage, but our true responsibility lies in spreading and defending His will on this world - from the day we take our oaths to the day we die.
Corristo: At least that's how it used to be in the outside world. In here, our life is mostly about putting up with this ox called Gomez. And making sure this colony retains a semblance of stability.
You: Where can I get a robe like the one you're wearing?
Corristo: No nuggets, no lessons. Sorry, friend.
You: Am I ready to enter the First Circle?
Corristo: Ready yourself, open your mind. Listen and understand:
Corristo: Innos chose the human and gifted him light.
Corristo: Just like it illuminated Beliar's abominable night for the first time, it will illuminate your mind.
Corristo: As a chosen of Innos, I may bestow upon you a share of his might.
Corristo: Innos' blessings upon your mind, the vessel for his powers.
You: Am I ready to enter the Second Circle?
Corristo: Innos' fire may only burn its brightest where the darkness is at its blackest.
Corristo: Only if you allow your mind to accept the nature of all divine brothers will you be able to use Innos' power to its fullest.
Corristo: Innos' powers are at your disposal. Now go and make use of them.
You: Can you teach me the Third Circle?
Corristo: You no longer seek knowledge, now. You have knowledge.
Corristo: But remember that you will learn the most valuable lessons where you least expect it.
Corristo: And the human slayed the beast and it entered the realm of Beliar.
Corristo: You know how to use the flames of Innos to bring righteous anger on the creatures of Beliar.
Corristo: But you will have to reshape them to make order prevail over chaos.
Corristo: Ignite and burn them. Go and act in the name of Innos.
You: Master Corristo, I am ready for the Fourth Circle.
Corristo: Only those will master the Circles who understand that they have the magic of all three of the divine brothers at their command.
Corristo: Imbue the storm of Adanos with the fire of Innos. Raise the fist of his justice to blow your opponents off their feet. Call death upon the undead.
Corristo: If you ever have, do no longer hesitate to use your magic freely.
Corristo: But remember that you are first and foremost a servant of Innos.
You: I want to train my mana. Can you help me?
Corristo: I can.
Corristo: You're not ready yet. Perhaps one day.
