(Note: I tried to make paragraphs because I can't do them in pc, but I don't know how the message will show in phones, so I apologize if it goes wrong). I don't think he cares about magic in the sense of looking at it badly because it diminish his effort, he is not that self centered. He just don't like it... in a more wider sense but for him everything that happens in the Dungeon is natural phenomena, because that's the environment he lives in, so he sees magic from other sources and feels like mages are fucking up that natural order. Now that I saw the episode again... I think the grocery store example is a bit far fetched for the allegory he is trying to make, but no less aplicable. So, if I put his example with what you said about her learning a skill and being able to do it faster because of it, I think we can say that what Senshi is trying to say is how convenience can make something unpurposeful and lead to other elementary skills to rust. Yeah, Marcille know magic, but we are sure she didn't learn it to light things when she is cooking, so what happens when she runs out of mana? (Which happens often) She won't be able to make a fire with a flint now that she got so used to the convenience of her magic. Of course, they can coexist and that is where Senshi prejudice is where is noticed the most, but I just wanted to point out what he was trying to tell. It's certainly a topic you can debate a bit. Like, a modern problematic about this could be how AI is slowly being able to make all artists work by itself, but what does that mean for the artist? Learning to use AI is as valuable as learning actual art? Of course, the general consensus is that It's not... but this is a extreme example, but I just thought that Senshi sees Magic just as an artist like myself sees AI.

I 100% disagree with Senshi's view that Marcille using magic to make the fire, is the same as going to the grocery store. Her ability to use magic is just as valuable a skill that she developed over time and practice, as Senshi's ability to use a flint. I mean, I could just as easily tell Senshi that he should rub two sticks together, and that using a flint is just like going to a grocery store. It's the "cheap and easy" way of doing things. Why is Marcille's skill to make fire with magic, less valuable then his to make it with a flint, or mine to make it with sticks? I think his prejudice against magic is showing... and as Marcille points out, a little bit of his hypocrisy towards it. It's ok when he uses it to make his life in the dungeon a little more convenient, but not when someone else does. Or when someone else does it in a way that negates his own skills, and how he's always done it.

Sorry Senshi, your business model lacked proper marketing to make it viable.. (even the pick a penny, leave a penny tray comes with a label.)
