[Whether she'd admit it or not, though, Bai Lin's got her pretty much on the money by thinking she's more likely to pickpocket someone than hurt innocent people for fun.]
[As it is, she's a little surprised by the sudden change of heart on the topic, but isn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. In the vague belief that understanding more about it might help Bai Lin feel more at ease, she offers:]
If it helps, think of it as... kinda like if you used an enchanted sword that was super sharp to cut through a wall- you used something magic to make the hole, but the hole isn't magic.
Most of my stuff's like that, doing magic but not causing magic. Making something into a magic artifact is already pretty hard, so making something that makes more magical stuff? Not the kinda thing I can afford to do often, I only got so much energy to throw around here.
