"Look at the world as it was ten years ago, as it is now, and tell me you would wish to raise a child in it. That you would take the risk of that child having magic, knowing all that comes from such things." It is foolishness. It is dangerous, that optimism, and that he cannot or will not see that is-

Well it is par the course, truly.

"The apostate familes that are able to manage have my admiration and respect- but they were raised without a great deal of what makes life most dangerous for mages in regards to spirits and demons. They lack the knowledge to shape them adversely. Those that were brought up in circles? Cannot unlearn what they were taught."
