[ Artemy nods his confirmation – though, he does pause when she says “white magic,” as that means that there are different forms of magic. He puts a pin in his follow-up question. ]
I suppose that it would.
It’s the same as any traveler that goes long distance. They have to learn some means to make sure they can make it to the next settlement, and not every road is a safe road.
[ He nods along. ] I find it interesting that magic is chosen to be picked up, though. I suppose it is because it is something that requires no supplies to maintain or concern oneself with while moving about?
[ Quite a few different forms of magic, all of which Azem will be happy to explain the basics of. Unfortunately, a friend of theirs, who isn't here, would do much better at explaining magic. ]
