Even with his wings held back, the light reaches forward, patterning lightly across the rock on which Raine sits, and the cape, and her hair and clothes. It's painless, but only in the sense of static being painless; unthreatening, but only because there's so much being held back or redirected. If Kratos wanted, he could unleash that mana on something in the form of powerful magic and know that it would strike -- just as he had on some unfortunate Desians in Luin.]
