There are plenty of things in life that are broken. No system is perfect or ever will be. I can understand the mages do suffer, but I believe the Templars do as well.
I have been on the road to recovery from my past for a few years now. If anything were to ever make me feel...defenseless again, then I might. I'm not actually sure though.
And since you seem like you know what you're talking about with this insanity, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Cullen Rutherford.
