"Yeah?" Leon glances over at her, curious. "Makes sense. It's just funny to hear that - back where I come from if someone's trying to be a dismissive asshole about how hard or complicated a problem is to solve, they say there's no magic fix for it."
No waving a magic wand and wishing the problem away, or whatever.
"I'm guessing that's not as much of a turn of phrase when magic is real and takes work to learn or master, though."
"Oh, we still have it. The phrase has more of a sense about being realistic about what a fix will take, though. Even though magic is real, that doesn't mean you're necessarily going to be able to use it to solve your problem. You can't spell away a debt, ruining your reputation, stabbing the wrong person - well, you can fix his wounds, if you've both learned magic and can use healing spells, but you can't fix that you did stab him."
Some people held onto things like that. Others might become friends.
"Point is, there's limits. Even if some sorts wish there weren't. That'd be terrible, actually."
