Magic was not a subject that Thor knew much about. He might have singular control over the storms, something innate within him that had been part of his being due to his Valkyrie blood long before he was ever given possession and use of Mjolnir and yes, he could use Mjolnir in a variety of ways, but he was not a creature that studied magic and therefore, he was almost disappointed at first that Loki’s primary interest was not one that he could ever take advantage of.

Luckily for him, Loki was astute enough to know that and immediately include additional items to her list.

Thor was no master of words and so flyting was not part of his enjoyments, but he did like to listen to others game at it and so he mentioned that Fandral was proficient in the sport and Loki might enjoy the competition of it with his friend. “Riding and fishing are two things we can certainly enjoy together. We have the whole of Asgard’s stables for our use. Is ice fishing very different from the usual sport?” That Thor fished might be a surprise. He did seem to lack the patience for it.
