That seems to be a running character trait(fault?) in her books. I wouldn't
call it laziness, though. More a reluctance to use the power one has access
to- Luthe knows what kind of damage he could inflict and therefore stays out
of it. That girl in the "A Knot in the Grain" could have had all kinds of
fun but would rather just save her town and get on with life. Even Harry is
made nervous by the magic around her and would much rather have been
"normal."
I wonder if Robin is a pacifist?
