I never even found the magic shop until much later in the game, so it never occured to me to leave the sewer until I'd finished this mission (by breaking into the room and knocking him out). When I did find the magician guy, he had no dialogue for me because I'd already completed the mission.

I feel there's very little information given in the game that you're 'supposed to' (I know that's subjective) leave the area and investigate more outsdie. Especially since, in a lot of cases, this will be one of the very first sidequests people do in the game.
