No, no, no, no, no! My sympathy is 100% with Varsuuvius in this affair, but the conventions of story dictate that a choice like this can't possibly have good fallout. V's got the karmic Eumenides on his* tail now, for sure. And that's a bloody shame, because really, it's Raistlin all over again, and Raistlin was always my favorite wizard.
*as always, this choice of pronoun only expresses my personal beliefs on the issue.
