It’s like forbidding horses to learn algebra. What’s the point? - John G. Hemry

I’m not one of those fools who think that by ignoring reality you can make it go away.

The hardest part of being in my Guild is having so many rules and restrictions and people telling me what to do. Some of the rules make sense. You can see why they’re necessary. But a lot of other rules feel like they’re just there because someone wanted to control Mechanics who were lower in rank.

Perhaps that is the only wisdom there really is, young Mage: that our choices matter.
