My head-canon is that in Pro-Mage playthroughs, if a Warrior or Rogue Inquisitor made someone tranquil, there'd be riots. If a mage does it, they hate it, but they also have to acknowledge that there must have been a pretty damn good reason, as every (Circle, at least) mage grows up with that Sword of Damocles having over their heads.
No idea on a Pro-Templar run, though.
It's kind of a double standard, though, because mages have been fighting so long against oppression and to have one of their own even use this "technique" would spell treachery of the worst sort for a lot of mages. In their minds I assume that they would feel the days of terror of such things are over now with the rebellion, they already dodged servitude once already and I think they'd be fed up with the various "swords" of Damocles. True, they'd rather hear this pronouncement from one of their own, after all, who else but a mage could truly determine whether someone is deserving, yet I think a lot of mages feel that there is no good excuse whatsoever for the Rite. It would be like a hideous specter of the past rearing its head from the ashes of the circle, worse, it's resurrected by one they trust to lead them to a new, freer future - they think they are safe, doubly so because a mage leads them, and then you do something like this... well, the wounds are still very fresh. Well, I'm sure the response would depend on several factors, i.e. if you are pro-Circle from the start, no one would be shocked (only disappointed) if you chose to uphold such things, and I imagine the same would be true for a Templar run (so far my Templar runs have all been non-mages, so I can't say for certain, though my human mage is pro-Circle... mostly).
But yeah, I'm sure that a non-mage would just automatically get lynched for even suggesting such a thing.
I just saw a comment or two a couple pages back here about his dialogue being somewhat weak or something like that (I can look it up later, just not now, I have work
) and I was sitting here thinking that his concept is amazing, his design is awesome, his interactions are absorbing (and very amusing at times) and just in general
