There’s a difference between magically conjuring only things that already exist (while knowing that it’s stealing from someone else) and having actual trade going on. Two obvious benefits are being able to buy in greater bulk than they can steal (without being discovered) and being able to pay for custom work.

The High Elves might theoretically appreciate proper plumbing rather than having to magically clean chamberpots, for example. Even if the chamberpots end up cleaner as a result, toilets would still be of great use to a drunken, sleepy, or simply very young High Elf. They’d also drastically reduce the amount of magic needed to be spent on cleaning, and the number of times one needed to clean up after themselves. Their city’s magic stores could then be better spent on such things as tighter defenses, if they were needed.

And Thomas beat me to the punch. Should’ve refreshed the page before replying…

I reckon he’s saying that sky elves are used to high standards of living. Therefore, being paid large amounts of money by Don Gobligno would be a “positive value change” because it would better enable them to maintain the lifestyles that they’re accustomed to.

This is true, but Caneghem’s kept his separatist plan a secret even from some of his own people. Hollister and Clair will be slackjawed when he discloses it. Reynolds, the closest thing he had to a friend that we saw, didn’t know anything about it either. On the other hand, Caneghem stood with the Altruists when they gave Syr’Nj their “join or die” pitch. So, yeah, she didn’t read Caneghem right, but it could be argued he never gave her a chance to do so.

No, what is provably true is that Caneghem has already spent weeks casting the spells that will soon allow him to teleport the sky elf cities far away from the humans and other races. Just because he hasn’t yet announced his plan to relocate his people doesn’t mean he’s sticking with Gastonia.
