I'd take a knight-enchanter over a Templar as well, [he says thoughtfully.] A mage community, though, might terrify surrounding villages. I wish the burden of workability and preemptively solving what issues might arise was not on us, but most want to see those of us who want freedom fail.

Would you have the time or inclination to sit down with me and perhaps what other like-minded mages we can gather and see if we can come together to find a shape that may protect our freedom and future?
