List several reasons or qualities

〜し lists several reasons or qualities together, like 'and what's more'.

JLPTN5
... し、... し~ shi, ~ shi, (~)

[reason/quality], and [reason/quality], and so on

Attach after a plain-form verb, adjective, or です/ to pile up reasons or features, suggesting there are more besides the ones you name. It often implies that the listed points add up to a conclusion. Listing two or more with sounds more emphatic than just stating one reason.
