Astaroth glanced rapidly toward Rodney, wondering if there was something wrong with him.
He felt like it was highly unlikely for a man born to a powerful mage and a magically inclined knight to end up with no mana capacity at all. Especially not in an environment like this one.
'Is there maybe a way for me to help him?' he mused.
Going back to Phoenix's question, Astaroth acted like he had been thinking about something.
"To answer your question, for what it changes. It's quite simple. For a city to be so close to so many Ley lines, more Natives will discover their talents in magic than elsewhere. And for the ones that would have been already magically inclined, their power will be greater. In the long term, I expect this to form a positive loop, and it would be my assumed reason Themiscus is still the font of magic users that it is."
Phoenix pondered for a moment.
