( there's a fleeting, rueful thought: we were meant to be talking about elfroot. and yet.

That's sort of what I was taught to think of Tranquility. A broken thing, given purpose instead of the void by the Maker's grace. ( it doesn't really sound like that's an opinion she holds now, even if her views on tranquility are more complicated than is commonplace in thedas, ) Here, though, it's— the saying is magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him.

I don't know if Andraste meant so lock mages up and use them like tools instead of people when she said it, or if she was just trying to make a point about not doing crimes. You can see how it's turned out.
