Abominations, abominations everywhere!

[lokapala]

Aaand I continue spamming y'all with lore questions!

So. From time to time, against my best judgment, I go to the BSN boards to read one of the never-ending mages vs templars threads (and it seems that practically any thread that mentions anything even tangentially related to magic & mage characters turns into one). And there is one question that always comes up and that I’ve never seen to be argued with actual examples from the games.

Abominations.

The pro-templar posters say that the problem with mages is that they can get possessed by a demon and turn abomination at any point in time. Just – boom, insta-evil. This is also part of David Gaider’s explanation of the templar POV, with his “kitten that can randomly explode destroying a city block” comparison.

This is the part where I stare at the screen hastily searching my memories of the games, and coming up with... next to nothing that supports these descriptions.

( Am I missing some crucial mage-turns-into-abomination scenes? )

AN: The ever talented 1smut_princess has breezed through beta'ing many chapters, leaving me with a cushion, so posting will get back on track.

In addition, she has kindly poked Dulsanaya with her Zevran from A Murder of Crows at Live Journal's DASdressing Room. Between her and ashfae's Hawke and Alistair, I am beginning to understand this silver-haired elf who dropped nearly fully formed into my lap. Sometimes Duls kicks me in the shins and runs off and I have to sit down and wrap my head around something that isn't me...foreign. She forgives me and crawls back into my lap, pressing her mind to mine with her strange logic and far seeing eyes and I do my best to see into her. I love this vallaslin vined, sun-bronzed creature and hope that I can do her justice.
