“I suppose it is. And with so many of us from so many different worlds, we’re all bound to find each others’ worlds more than a little unusual…” Even getting used to some of the ways of Thedas has been tough. He still finds a lot of their views peculiar.

“A ritual or spell of some sort. It seemed. They’re very good at mental manipulation, even telepathy,” which of course is right up there on the list of things he’d rather forget, having that voice in his head, “but I don’t believe they’re so closely intertwined that they share a mind. Zemus awoke individually, for instance, as did another.”

Huh… that’s an entirely different concept to what he’s used to, magic that’s in itself inherently evil. Kain considers what she’s saying, finally nodding. “It makes the most sense to look at it that way… yes. Black magic can include elemental spells, for instance, spells of fire, ice or lightning. We don’t have any magic that’s considered evil in itself… just occasional evil mages.”
