I'm less worried about your magic than the handicap it might give you. Running a ship is strenuous work, but not difficult to learn. The best way to gain a good understanding of it is to do it the hard way first.

[ so when he says no magic for now, he doesn't mean it in distaste for magic itself, just in the want to make sure everything it learned the correct way first.

But also, yeah, don't set their ship on fire, please. ]
