Our worst enemy will always be ourselves and our own kind, if unshackled from concerns of morality. We've seen what happens when mages give into the worst of themselves. Trying to justify it doesn't change the damage done, or lives lost. And blood magic will never just be another school, like any other.

So far...I admit I favor Agathe. Elise doesn't stand a snowball's chance in the Western Approach, and some seem to forget the potential for severe backlash that would happen if by any chance she was elected.
