Sorry, but I think it’s time Dark Sun moved on from that naïve view and embraced the fact that really making a difference is going to require giving up something you’ve grown accustomed to always having.And how much more delicious would that be if preservers were so hated despite the fact that they’re willingly giving up power to fight that good fight? Not only are they using magic for good, they’re taking a hit to be able to do so. And the thanks they get for it is that everyone assumes they’re just as evil as every other spellcaster. How tempting would it be to become the monster they think you are (all in service to the Good Fight, of course! You swear, you’ll stop defiling for good just as soon as you’ve defeated those bad Defilers!)</blockquote>
