[ Some part of him doesn't really expect to get an answer to his query. It must be something worth keeping secret, to not reveal in too much detail. If the situations were were reversed, Claude can't say he would share. When a brief explanation follows, he listens but raises one eyebrow at the concept of reappearing without a limb, or trapped somewhere one doesn't usually find themselves. ]
So it's not magic, then. Based on the blessing you mentioned being present, I mean, and that's something I'm assuming you have to be born with. [ Maybe? That's somewhere between a question and a statement since Claude's still not certain on what exactly this consists of, really. ] In my world, magic can be picked up by anyone so long as you study texts and with an instructor. Not everyone will master every spell - there's lots I wasn't particularly good at myself - but there is something with blessings, kind of.
[ Crests don't matter here, Claude reminds himself; it's not like they'll be a secret if anyone else from Fodlan decides to share theirs. The nice part about the Horizon is that he doesn't have to wait for his Crest to decide to activate itself for a demonstration. After a moment, he holds up a hand: in front of it a crescent moon appears in a circle of light, glowing just as it would if he was injured. Only now it lasts for longer than a second, thanks to holding this illusion. ]
Part of what where I'm from believes is that the Goddess there bestowed blessings upon several bloodlines. The nobility, of course, used this to exalt themselves even though they show up mainly by chance these days. Fate decided I got the one in my family tree.
