No more better then templars forcing mages to undergo the Harrowing by summoning power demons to go after them. What's the difference, really?
Hold on. One group is trying to prepare mages for fending off demonic possession. The other one is using blood magic to force demons into the bodies of templars. There is a BIG difference.
Yeah by summoning a fricken pride demon after you by force. That is not preparing mages to fend off demonic possession. It's leading mages to their deaths. Theirs no way that an mere apprentice can defeat a pride demon.
I honestly can't tell the difference.
They don't have to fight off a pride demon, they only have to say "No" to the pride demon.
Given the number of mages that obviously survived the harrowing, presumably with mind and soul intact, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the intention of the test probably isn't to destroy them.
However the blood mages' plot to insert demons into the bodies of recruits has an explicitly stated intention to destroy the Templar order.
The templars by design have no chance of surviving the ritual intact. The mages on the other hand have their ritual designed to facilitate their survival, both by making them active participants in it and by the fact that it's only administered after a lifetime of preparation for just that challenge.
If you can't honestly see a difference between the two, I suggest you replay the two games and then give the matter a good long think.
