Oh, so that's another common knowledge that they either don't know here or that isn't true. Uh. She is. No historian. Or scholar. Or, well, somone who knows anything about history past some super basics. But mana is very important to what she does, so she at least has some rudimentary theoretical knowledge. "Mana is ...the stuff that lets things be magical. It's like... the spirit of the universe." No, that doesn't sound right. "If there is a lot of mana in the air people become trolls and such and can do magic and the dragons wake up and so on. And if there is less in the air everything becomes more mundane. But you can also knock people out with mana or build barriers that spirits can't walk through. And mana storms are dangerous."
