[@Wick] The Magi will receive training [i]after[/i] we finish the mission. I think it was understood that I said that. 
Do you think they would let Magi / deserters as we are right now , near the capital city , near the Emperor ? 

We are going to Milas to get the caravan that will take us to The Field from there we will take (maybe , it matters if you wish that or not ) to go by foot towards the Wasteland or we take a few horses to the Wasteland. They are going to die / run away as soon as we enter the Wasteland anyway.
