- Dear Greg,
-
- I am certain there at one time must have been a person who used
- magic solely in an altruistic manner, but I think that such a person
- is rare indeed. I would be the first to admit that I am not even grey,
- there are very clear veins of black and white in me, like two distinct
- personalities. Self interest will always be a factor, I think, because
- rare indeed is the person who would cause himself harm in the name of
- greater good, and I can only think of some very few situations where I
- might even consider such actions.
- I do not know where you might find the information you seek...
- You may want to try some of the obscure historical writings from the
- 10th and 11th centuries. Do you know where I might find a Rowan or
- Cauldron? How about a decent sword? These things are hard to come by
- here...
