- Perhaps now is a suitable time for this, but before that, I want to clarify that the danger a person can pose does not necessarily correlate directly with whether they can be classified as "good" or "bad" according to accepted social morality. For example, I had a colleague who converted to the cult of Akonia at the beginning of last year - a wonderful person, pleasant to talk to, kind and reliable - he would always help and support even those who treated him badly, a top-notch humanist. Unfortunately, it was precisely this humanism that led to his downfall - he became obsessed with the idea of the evolution of humankind. He believed that the root of most conflicts and suffering lies in the feeling of hunger and thirst, and therefore hoped that by acquiring the ability to photosynthesize - the ability to "recharge" from the rays of Akonia, people could live happier and freer lives. A very noble dream, isn't it? Because even if they are left without a roof over their heads and means of subsistence, people will not be doomed to terrible physical and moral suffering. However, it was this dream that led this man to the destruction of an entire city...
—Wow, an entire city? I guess something like that would have been written about in our newspapers, but in recent months, we haven't really had time for newspapers... —the scholar sighed. —We touched on similar topics in a conversation with our third comrade. As they say... The road to hell is paved with good intentions. —He pauses for a moment, thinking about what the equivalent of hell is in this world, —...to the abyss. I understand your point, Gran, and I agree with it, but isn't it sometimes different? Your colleague probably did not observe elementary safety measures and put innocent people at risk without being sure of the effectiveness of his method. But sometimes it happens differently! Take our Shingen, for example: he was deliberately placed far from other settlements for this very reason, and as a result, thanks to magical experiments, we are still holding the western front.
