"This is shitsucking stuuuupid," Taako says in light, singsong tones. He's actually quite a bit more capable than he looks, or deliberately gives any impression of, but he's also feeling rather lost without magic as so much as a backup. He's taken it easy plenty of times, and when he was a scruffy kid he didn't have spell slots to burn. He does, in fact, know how starting fires and consuming fuel works. He just hates all that crap. "There's obviously plenty of arcane activity going on, and if I could nail down how they're suppressing individual access like this I betcha I'd have the place disassembled by now. But if they can block some bits and not others, give us fucking cantrips, for the Lady's sake..." It's a sign of how agitated he is that he actually involves a deity in his grousing.
