Magic did not work like that in his world, it was far more natural power and less outward embodiments of it- though even that could be said to be entirely inaccurate. His world had a difficult time pinning down exactly how powers worked. The True Knot were able to steal Shine as a form of steam so, there was a lot he was not entirely aware of, even with his abilities as they were.
Dan gave another light laugh at the next part. Brows furrowed in curiosity, he looked up at her from his cup. "How do people pay you when we don't have money here?" Curiosity had not completely left him, though it was rarely shown. His Shine gave him so much information most of the time that he did not need to go looking. Dan left actual curiosity up to Abra.
