@Necanor: Sorry, erm.... death to the mages and stuff!

Stand up for your fellow mages. Stop fighting against us and join us for a valid cause.

<.< "Valid" Cause huh?

You mean the freedom to allow Demons unhindered access to mages and for the risk presented by that to go unheeded until a local lord summons his army and kills the abomination?

Surely you recognize the need for the circle, some barrier between humanity and mages?

When a mage graduates from the Circle I don't see any reason why the mages need to continue to be locked away when they could be useful in society.

And they will be useful, Within the circle they are both at the disposal of the local government and the chantry.

They shouldn't be toys to use then put away when you're done with, and they shouldn't have to be tied to tied to the chantry if a normal human can enjoy freedom why not a mage.

Well duh. Sith have all the cool powers, unlike the weak Jedi.

There's one power the sith don't have. The power of heart.

Yeah...That didn't stop reborn Palpatine from literally shoving Luke Skywalker through a solid Durasteel wall with force enhanced strength, hefting the dying Jedi Master up by the throat and stating that this was a battle he could not win, should not have even attempted because he lacked a grasp of just how strong the Darkside was.

And coming from a living force nexus? You kinda take those things to heart.

;o see what i did there?

Too bad that story might as well just be fanfiction at this point.

I disagree.  It's not too bad at all.  It's wonderful that the Star Wars EU is being obliterated.

I would gladly kill the rare decent short story to kill the cancer that is the Star Wars EU.  And the abomination that franchise's out of movie works has become was probably a mage's fault.

Not everything is a Mage's fault...

A good eight out of ten at most.

Of course they should be, Mages are little more then instruments of war much like soldiers and in peace time they are little more then scholars or instructors.

That said.

"Freedom" Is such a subjective and broad term, what exactly do you equate it with the DA universe?

I would have had one Circle for each country and then smaller ones for each town that produces mages, so that after proper training the mage can come home to their families and still be under the ever vigilant  eyes of the Chantry.

Except soldiers aren't locked away in peacetime.

To answer your question, I'd equate "freedom" with "not being hunted down like a rabid dog for going to see your family".

Magic is a tool and therefore by the extension of that logic; Mages are tools.

Its a simple conclusion and one that most of Thedas agrees with, Its something i see no reason to change, after all when 90% of the known world lives in Serfdom and servitude. You tend to understand the world around isn't going to change and really doesn't need to change.

So why should mages live outside of societial norms when they are as you said merely humans with a connection to the fade? should they be subject to the nature or their world or live inside yet another guilded cage so they don't throw tantrums?

By that logic, all Thedasians are tools because hands are tools. They grip, hit, squeeze, twist, etc.

And indeed as i just said most of them are.

Unless if you are nobility you are sort of screwed in the Fuedal system unless if you rise to nobility or wealth yourself.

You mean he very same system that was overthrown by those 'tools'? The same kind of system the mages are trying to overthrow for the very same reason? Hmm, I wonder if there's a connection between the two.

I get the whole "Mages shouldn't have no supervision" argument, but calling mages for lack of a better term subhumans is too far the other direction. It's that mindset that got Thedas in this situation in the first place. The best option is to find a way to keep the mages from creating another Tevinter without removing their humanity in the process. And with both sides in shambles from the current war, we're in exactly the perfect situation to do so.

We are in exactly the right situation to reinstute the circles and bring order back to this chaos ridden world so focus can be given to the more long term enemies of sentient life upon Thedas such as the Qunari and Darkspawn.

So Yes i do agree concessions will need to be meted out i suppose but viewing Mages as anything beyond a resource just beckons back to the same agrument that led to the rebellion so it is in my eye superior to merely crush the root of the issue.

Remove their Humanity and there ceases to be familarity with the masses and their cause becomes lost, after all if they are not accepted by their neighbors then what hope do they have outside of a circle?

Because not allowing a mage unsupervised time outside of a prearranged settlement that is both suited to protecting and guarding against mages is such a horrible crime against nature.

To the point of soldiers...

Except in Tveinter of course, but because the one place in Thedas where both slavery is legal and encouraged which is under magic's thumb there is no common connection between the two hrm?

And you "removing their humanity" and "view them as only a resource" are exactly the problems that makes the mages want to rebel. Perhaps if they were treated as equals, they'd have no reason to rebel. Every rebellion in human history is caused because of that reason: the oppressed want to be treated equally.

I believe that there needs to be some form of check on mages so their powers are not abused intentionally or unintentionally. But I respectfully do not agree with your views on how to handle the issue Master Warder Z.

Thank you for grossly simplifying History to the point of it being nearly humorous with that blanket statement.

Moving right along i would reinstate order by actually acting upon the system that was put in place before apathy and weakeness disolved it. Mages started the war, Mages commited themselves to this course, regardless of reasoning there is no point to coddling a rebellion.

Once their armies are destroyed, once the survivors are placed back into confinement and the general population kept safe from then, then lofty ideals and betterment can occur but it would be foolish in the extreme to merely use their threat of course as a detraction from a system that saw success and stability for countless generations.

The mage rebellion will be a cornerstone to history, it will be a symbol and in its failure it will be a both a threat and a warning to future mages.

Soldiers are trained killers and at any minute can theoretically snap and go on a rampage.

I will agree that Tevinter is too far in the direction of letting mages go free since those who have power may become corrupted by it. But that statement happens to work both ways. The way you describe handling mages rings with the sound of slavery.

Both systems are too extreme. Tevinter is too far in favor for the mages, and the Chantry is too far against the mages. In between those two extremes is the solution to the problem.

I think that the Circle system is the best system for all of Thedas, but I rather think it needs to be fixed rather than deny the mages their humanity. People need to understand the dangers of magic, of course, but the Circles can be improved and once the Circles are reestablished with a better balance of power, then research can be made in minimizing magic's dangers.

I do not seek senseless slaughter there is no point nor nothing to be gained by killing every mage within their ranks. After all they are valuable resources but the course must be set for them to never be in a position to rebel again.

How to you limit the danger magic imposes with out constant supervision upon All mages? After all if you allow mages to exist outside of the circle you invite the danger that they are plotting something similar that led to the rebellion to start with.

Placing mages within Confinement their entire lives isn't a punishment its merely the only viable course.

Exactly. The basic premise of the Circles should still exist: to educate and train people in magic. But the Templars constantly holding a sword over every mage's throat and treating them as subpeople is the part that needs tuning. I liked DRTJR's idea, where there is the large Circle of Maji, and in every town or even just deecent sized city, there is a smaller scale one to keep an eye on the mages in that city. In exchange for being watched, the mages are allowed to lead normal lives. And in the unfortunant incident that a mage is possessed or even just goes evil, there is the local Chantry there able to stop it before too much damage occurs.

The Templars need constant vigilance merely to preform their duties , Hindering them not granting them constant access to mages is merely aiding in the possibility of demonic influence taking root amongst them.

Moving on to the more practical matter.

The Circles of Magi are massive constructs most of which predate the chantry apparently according to lore, so you would impose building these bastions everywhere likely at chantry or the local nations expense merely to grant the mages the concession of possibly being allowed to cause even MORE harm after a brutal rebellion?


Simply put that is Lunancy.

Don't get me wrong, I think a system like the Circle is good. It gives mages a place where they can train to control their powers and learn how to resist demonic temptation while also providing a quick means of stopping that mage if they become possessed before they can hurt others.

What I have a problem with is you dehumanizing mages. This is entirely on my end, but even with their powers they are sapient beings with their own thoughts and feelings and I can't and won't forget that.

To me, they are people who posess a power that has the potential to be destructive without proper training. But with proper training, proper guidance, and a healthy enviornment they can develop their powers to be beneficial.

Ah; Well conversly i am vexed at your own viewpoint.

Granting people that can ignite a room full of innocents into flaming cinders the freedoms of normal people is beyond me on a national scale, now i suppose if it where on a invidual scale perhaps sentimentality could be allowed but not when you take in the fact that this is a war for the future of a continent.

Not a city, a Township or even a country but that of the known world.

Mages must be contained, controlled and kept under watch. 

Its a brutal task but one that must none the less be done, Dehumanizing them is in effect doing them a favor if they can understand the fear of the masses perhaps they will eventually come to grip the fact the circle is where they belong.

Its difficult to grasp sometimes but occasionally vile, wicked and even evil things must be done to perserve order.

And yes i am a lawful evil

Simply put that is Lunancy.

I'm not saying to build a tower in every city. Splitting the mage population into city-acceptable groups would in fact remove the reason for those constructs in the first place. And as I said, they're still watched. Just not to the extent of a sneeze has them slammed against the wall bcause they think they're about to curse someone. 

And since we're going to practical matters, it also would keep the mages in small enough numbers where if they rebel, even though their main reasons to do so would be gone at this point, the city's Templars can easily take them down if needed. Having too many mages in one place has not proven to work well, what with the Ferelden and Kirkwall Circle incidents. 

You're of the mindset that the mages will seek retribution regardless of how they are treated, yet if the source of their hatred towards the Chantry is gone, such as best case scenario being you are imprisoned for life, they will have no real reason too. Some will turn evil, yes, but then some people in every group turn evil.

If that's lunacy to you, then prepare for your logic to spark rebellion after rebellion after rebellion. After all, more mages are born every day.
