Also it's not kidnapping, the Chantry is well within its power to take any and all children born to mage parents within their Circles.

That doesn't change what it is.  That only changes the legal status of the kidnapping.

It's still kidnapping.  It's just legal kidnapping.

Banning Maker Worship = Rebellion by hundreds of thousands, Civil War, and Exalted March.

Taking a Mage Child from Mage parents = No effect whatsoever on the outside world minus the butthurt of the two parents.

Consequences of the actions are not even remotely the same.

It's also very cruel to have the templars kidnap newborn babies from an already weaken mage. I mean how ethical is it to beat an already beaten down individual?


It's not kidnapping if it's legal, and what the Circles do is legal.  And please don't try to say it isn't legal.  They've been doing it openly for almost a thousand years.  If it weren't legal, they'd have been brought to task by some soft hearted noble with the ear of a monarch and a love for ther poor mage relative long before the Dragon Age.


Legal on paper anyway. I might as well make an Inquisitor that change the law by punishing maker worshipers with an decaptation, and it would be completely alright because it's the law. Just because something is legal, it doesn't mean that it's acceptable.


I wasn't making a case of right or wrong.  I said it can't be kidnapping if it is legal.  It's a loaded term used improperly to manipulate a specific reaction.  It's dishonest to use it.

And who said I'm talking about that? What I said is that legalizing an action does not instantly make said action justified.

Generally, kidnapping occurs when a person, without lawful authority, physically asports (i.e., moves) another person without that other person's consent,

So make it optional. Want to be allowed to play pillow games? Here's an option that lets you do so without having to hide it.

Though, frankly, I have my doubts about its efficacy in a world with Healing Magic. I also seem to recall someone, maybe Wynne?, obliquely mentioning methods of contraception, though I may be misremembering. If magical contraception, or even herbal contraception isn't in widespread use to give mages the freedom to sleep with whoever, then there's more to it than just babies.

Like the whole "Boo hoo, my true love broke up with me. He/She just doesn't understand that we are meant to be together forever! Well, I will MAKE them understand. They WILL love me! *slits wrist* *makes the blood magic happen*"

Love is a crazy powerful emotion, for good or ill.


Castration would solve a lot of this.

It would be sort of like a partial tranquiling, helping to keep them calm and reduce or remove some of their humanity.

I legalize the murder of all left-handed people, ergo, it is justified to murder a person for being left-handed.

It is law because it is right, and it is right because it is law.

Child Protective Services?

Though it's likely to protect the newborns by placing them in an environment where they won't be roasted by a wayward spell, possessed or mauled to death by an abomination.

Can you imagine what would've happened if there were infants during Uldred's coup?

The best way to avoid this whole dilemma with illegitimate children is to have segregated circles run by segregated Templars.

What constitutes an "accidental pregnancy"? If 2 mages fall in love with each other and have sex the baby that they reproduce is not an accident.


Tell that to the people who uses protection and hopes no one gets pregnant, hence "accidental pregnancy"

Also what if the said Mage doesn't want the child?

I'm sure each respective quarantine zone can accommodate the biological needs of its condemned or have potions that weaken desire or something.

BECOME MORE TOTALITARIAN. THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM! 

LET'S BLOW UP MORE PEOPLE, THAT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM!


Neither of those are smart types of thinking, and it most certainly won't dix any dilemmas.

If it is legal then it can not, by definition, be murder.

You have just legalized the killing of lefties, ergo it is no longer technically murder. Murder is pecifically the unlawful act of killing another person.

Laws are not by definition right or wrong, but rather a tool rulers use to facilitate control over the public.

well when it comes to mages who can turn in any moment into abomnation maybe shooting on sight would be smart idea.It obvious that circles do don't good job containing mages so if you insist on circles to work need be much more strict and harsh because now it is way to lax.Sadly with so dumb peoples as divine and leliana who freed walking abomnations even strict circles will may fall and lead to situation we had now so im for killing them all it is certain method. Mages must be controled and current circles do bad job...
