Lily didn't know how to explain magic to someone who didn't know what it was, so she turned to the others for help. Vafrid just looked at her. Mijko shrugged and shook her head.
Lily was the magic-obsessed one. If she couldn't explain it, no one could. She was left without a choice and was forced to turn to Squawks.
Squawks sighed and turned to Nick with a serious expression.
"Magic is bullshit." He held up a hand to stop Lily from complaining about his explanation.
"When you're winning a fight and the other side takes out a guy who can chuck a tree at you. That's magic. When you're planning an ambush, but the enemy has set up a trap because a dork in a robe told them about it before you even had the idea. That's magic. When you attack someone and your weapon passes right through them like they're made of water. That's magic."
