I think they’re low on options. Lehrer told me of sorcerers and magic-users who had good intentions when they arrived, only to have them warped with time. Setting fire to the city, causing natural disasters, trapping innocents in sewers and feeding off of their fear. Things that you and I probably don’t want on our resumes of Not-So-Good-Deeds.

[Which leaves them in, once again, a very tricky situation.]

I’ll be honest with you, I’m split. At home, my magic inherently uses the power of various planes and dimensions of the multiverse, so relying on an outside source for energy isn’t a new concept. But I’ve also seen what happens when sorcerers choose to align themselves with a very questionable choice of entity to bolster their strength; bad things. End of the world things. Not unlike what ADI is touting here.

[So, he doesn’t think that ADI is lying. He doesn’t think that makes them worthy of full trust, either, but Stephen sees no reason why they would stretch the narrative so far, not yet.]

So the opinion of another magic wielder is welcome. Knowing the risk, would you still choose to harness energy for your magic in this world?
