As Madclaw asks his innocent but important question you all note that the Magister seems to pause before answering, as if thinking what the best way to explain what she was would be difficult. " I believe sometimes people do evil things for the right reasons, just as I believe good people in extreme cases can do good things for the wrong reasons. I guess to put it simply I would be the "or what" as you put it Madclaw." the Magister replies. " Knowledge, Magic, Nature, Time, all of these things can be used for good or evil. But left alone are neither of the two. I am the same. My purpose is to maintain balance, so at this moment in your eyes I guess you could say I am good as no doubt you see my brother as evil."
