Our home is wrapped in ley lines, Cabeswater was born of that - there are other areas wrapped in that sort of magic too. It shouldn't surprise me that a smaller, more contained world could be engulfed in such magic. In our experience, it can turn malicious, or be tainted. I'd rather protect it from that corruption, instead of harm it.
It's an easy thing to feel when one doesn't bring much to the table in comparison to others. And I have been far too candid in the last 24-hours for my liking.
