"The motive is to obtain power, not to do harm." Celandine answered quietly.

"Power, whatever the cost."
Jack almost jumped when he heard Cela speak up. She had been quiet for a while--a real change for her. Usually she was all over the place, talking nonstop but she seemed very...morose during this lesson. Hmmm, maybe this whole blood status thing ran really deep in her family? Jack had never been sensitive about it but, maybe Truebridge was right--maybe this lesson was going to be kind of tough for some people.

He shrugged. "Yeah, it could be to obtain power--there are many motives that could inspire one to dabble in the dark arts. But it could be to do harm too," he said. "There are some people out there who were in the dark arts just for the sake of causing absolute chaos...there is no denying that there are people out there who are like that. They want to harm people just to harm people, it gives them some strange satisifaction. Creating terror just because they can. Causing harm doesn't necessarily make one powerful, but that doesn't stop people from doing it."
