Kip’s secret is out (to the boys, at least) — since most of the readers know he’s a Mind Mage. Mind Mages are still not highly accepted in this magic society. But a lot of it has to do with the lack of understanding what the true purpose for such people are. Honestly, Kip has been trained to understand what real Mind Mages are supposed to do with their power doesn’t mean he doesn’t slip up from time to time.
And yes, Ben does know about Mind Mages. His explanation sounds like a definition from a text book because that’s probably what it is. He’s a young student of magic at this point and most of his learning he has pulled from books, rather than experience. So the fact that he can rattle off a book definition at the term means that he’s aware of what a Mind Mage has been said to be, but doesn’t really know what a living, breathing Mind Mage is.
