No idea, but here's a relevant issue... In Ep1 and in Ep3, i.e. whenever he is faced with the prospect of dead Shannon -- whether one is actually dead or not -- he announces his intent (with Battler present to hear it) to actually study magic to resurrect Shannon, no matter how silly it sounds. In Ep1 he does that in the study, in Ep3 he expresses his intent and then sneaks out of the guesthouse only to be found dead soon after.
In Ep2, where he is with Shannon, he is actually described going on a rather dangerous adventure to recover the heirloom mirror which, as described, essentially amounts to using a magic item against the witch directly.
In all three cases, it seems like the intent and interest in magic is there but the knowledge is rather cursory unlike what Maria displays.
...What if George and Beatrice actually have a common
teacher whom Beatrice took seriously but George did not until the going got tough?
