They do remember what happened to their earlier leaders. So becoming a mage has now (after cataclysm) become harder. I mean it would be hard to find anyone who would like to teach you anything, maybe even all former mages could be somehow insane? If there will be magesocieties, there should be hard tests for anyone who wishes to become a member. > (Lots of mysticism on tests, death as an only punishment for failure?) Cataclysm does not mean that all mages died or went insane, but for sure they became much more careful and decided that they will not just whomever who might be "interested" in magic. So yes, in order to become a mage student one should pass some tests or a quest perhaps(?), but I do not think that death would be commonly used as punishment for failure since why in the hell would all the mages be cruel and evil? -- | ~ Sinister / Serpent of Nightside ~ | | <sinister.serpent@sci.fi> http://i.am/sinister.serpent/ | --o-- Nightside homepage: http://www.netti.fi/~halsa/ --o-- | Nightside e-mail: <nightside@hotmail.com> |
