"I suppose a staff would be harder to break... but don't force yourself! I have some dittany back with my things in the library; if it hurts all that badly, I could get it for you. It should help with the pain." Though really, Hermione would have to use the potion sparsely, considering that she has such a small amount of it and injuries seem to be a fairly common thing around here. Still, she'd caused Korrin's fall, so she feels responsible for making sure she walks away from this easily enough.
Hermione isn't sure how she feels about living in a world where she could only use magic if she "connects" to some other, unknown force. It doesn't sound the least bit safe, but she assumes that, if it's such a prevalent force here, the least she can do is allow a native like Korrin to slowly teach her how to tap into it bit by bit and not die in the process.
"Well, we have Freezing Charms and Protection Charms, too, but we also can't summon a dragon, especially not to make it do something on your command. Dragons have their own minds, just like any other animal. I assume that means I can't perform the Imperius Curse here, but given that that's one of the Unforgivable Curses anyway, I don't exactly use it in my day to day. Or at all. The Ministry would have a fit, and rightfully so. And if you mean counter-spells, then of course; our professors would go mad if they couldn't reverse a transfiguration gone wrong or undo a prank jinx."
Though the rest seems fairly self-explanatory, Hermione tilts her head and asks, "By the way, I'm familiar with dwarves, but what are Tranquil? We don't have those back home. Or if we do, we call them by something else." She doubts it, though; whatever sort of people they are, the magical world as she knows it is a bit too rambunctious for anything that sounds so calm and peaceful.
