As they approach the lake, Baltas takes a moment to absorb the information Kagerus is giving him. "Is there any limit on what magic can do? Are there things magic cannot accomplish?" he asks, trying not to let his thoughts jump to all the worst things magic in this land could do. It doesn't work. Vision damage from a bright light, burns, nightmares... Baltas' eyes have never been seriously hurt by the sun, but he knows from bright summer days that having light shine into his eyes is extremely uncomfortable. It's not hard to imagine how light magic could cause harm.
He shivers a little, partly from the cold, partly from the beauty of the lake, and partly from the thought of what magic could do. The magic here can be a good thing, too, Baltas reminds himself. Not everyone is out to use their powers to do harm. The thought helps to reassure him, but some worry still remains.
"And if it's all right, I'd like to be in just the war caste for now." Perhaps he will join the diplomatic caste later, or even leave the war caste for it, but right now, he feels that he does not know enough about this world to be in the diplomatic caste yet.

Sorry I took so long!
