She is, actually -- when she says water spells are harder, she means that she knows by experience, and water that comes out greasy is very disgusting. But it apparently passes her stands, because she reaches into the small beaded pouch around her wrist and takes out a gold coin, which she tosses on the counter. She hands the canteen in her hand to the sort-of-familiar man, then grabs a second canteen and begins to walk away.

When she pulls her hand back out of the bag, she opens it and there's a butterfly made of green flames floating above her palm. ] Yeah. It's the easiest element, least for most folks I've ever met. In Thorne, they teach it to kids as one of their first spells.

[ The fire butterfly flits up and flutters in front of his face for a moment, then flies into the sky and dissipates. ]
