I suppose that I misunderstood your words. Magic is... a burden to those who possess it, and it can be used wisely or misused, as any power can be. There are those who will do harm even without magic. I suppose I just wish the common man would understand that mages are people just as much in their... hopes and fears, their desires. They can be good just as often as they can be frightening.
To hear a Templar say what you have just said to me, well it does give me some hope.
