The Void's presence really has scared off everyone who wasn't scared already. But others used this as an opportunity to try containing the damages. As he flew over the city, Cael saw a group of people trying to stop flames from a large building to the nearby houses.
Although most buildings in the city were made from clay bricks or sandstone, there were enough flammable materials in the roofing and furnishings to be a danger, especially with all the houses being stuck so close together. Though thanks to houses' materials, there were much fewer fires in the city than there could have been.
Since the house was on his way, Cael quickly formed a spell that created an enormous pile of snow over it. The people gasped, dropping their water buckets as the snow melted and turned into water, dousing the flames. Some of them fell to their knees in wonder and shock, while others broke into a run, fleeing from the sudden show of magic.
I’m a sage of the Dao of Wordcount! Look at me, spending an entire chapter to explain how genius Cael is! Nyahahaha!
