[Not just because of the faction conflict- there were monsters in Alenroux, in the Beyond… pickpockets and criminals in Kowloon… and even if people were magical, they would be without access to those magics until they Harmonized. Not that she ever suffered that- she was a half ton of centaurflesh and drew her raw power from biology alone.
But she still preferred weapons. Jinba that fought with their natural ones only risked proving right those who considered them beasts.]
