"At the conclusion of class, we'd determined that all the Dark Artists listed were motivated by both Fear and Power, so if we're going by class standards, I would have to say no. However, in my opinion, those Dark Artists that already had obtained Power without the use of the Dark Arts, who used Dark Arts instead to defend themselves after their rise, would be qualified as strongly influenced by Fear, and influenced very, very little by Power. This would include Salazar Slytherin, of course... However, there will most likely never be an absence of either trait, in Dark Artists or regular Wizards either." Raiden stopped talking, finally, before looking at Kiri and giving her a little bit of a smile. He really needed to start paying more attention to his surroundings. This was the second time she'd been nearby and he hadn't noticed...
