Saying that those who use the power of shadow are all fallen is labelling.
It's hard to find fault in saying that using the power of shadows can lead to corruption.
Power itself has a tendency, just like there is really no scum among high-level Paladins, because the Holy Light has a strong ability to correct order. To be called a high-level Paladin, one must have extremely strong We can be principled, we can be paranoid, we can be racist, we can be arrogant, but we will never be corrupt and bend the law.
Lawfulness is a prerequisite for the advancement of the Paladin, and how can a lawful person be a scumbag?
For another example, a mage who studies arcana must be a staunch materialist. He can kneel to powerful people, gods, and mentors, but he will never believe in these. Knowledge is power, the book has its own golden house, the book has its own way to reach the gods, and the book has its own beauty like jade. A powerful person is nothing more than a good father, and a god is nothing more than an oversized mage and mentor... As long as you let me graduate, you will be my biological father!
Rationality is the core trait of mages. They believe in trading principles and never believe in unconditional gifts.
But the warlocks are different. The warlocks are all from Shanxi. Everything is for existence, and existence is everything. Under the surface of strong realist self-interest lies the essence of chaos. It is difficult for you to analyze and classify the group of warlocks, and you cannot even find their core points in common.
If I have to sum it up forcefully, I can only say that warlocks are realists and refined egoists.
Note that refined egoism and self-interest at the expense of others are two different things, so don’t confuse them.
First of all, excluding the idiots who harm others and do not benefit themselves, the biggest characteristic of egoists is that they will never touch things that are not good for themselves.
Rough egoists use various means to benefit themselves at the expense of others and gain benefits.
And the refined egoist, even the original body, benefits everyone by helping others, provided that he must obtain enough benefits.
Therefore, sophisticated egoists are extremely disguised. The only difference between them and socialists is that they will never sacrifice their own interests.
The personalized analysis of social groups is by no means just for fun, but to maximize the internal growth potential of the alliance.
Every spellcaster is a valuable asset of the alliance. If the alliance does not control warlocks, the Curse Sect will corrupt them and win over them.
But how to effectively utilize the group of warlocks, I can only say that it is really difficult.
Because everyone knows about this warlock thing.
A parasite on the Lord of the Void, a vampire within human society, an arrogant maniac wandering on the edge of crime, and a hypocrite with an average of three people.
Dalaran's suppression of warlocks is not entirely because warlocks have violated the mages' monopoly on spellcasting power, but because these alternative wastes with dark personalities due to the erosion of the power of shadow lack awe of power.
Yes, if you have the talent of a mage, why would you be reduced to a mage?
As the largest group of sorcerers, sorcerer apprentices switched careers to become sorcerers because they couldn't find a way to become a sorcerer, or they couldn't bear to study hard for decades.
The truly talented warlocks, on the other hand, are trying their best to move closer to the mage system's research methods, hoping to obtain a stable, safe and efficient means of self-improvement.
Going against the alliance seems to have no future at the moment.
Although the Curse Sect is still trying its best to dig out and win over warlocks and create a large number of people qualified for the power of shadow, if you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. After the alliance won this confrontation between the living and the dead, The Lich King's influence is no longer enough to convince a follower to serve the Scourge with just a few words.
Especially due to the tacit arrest and suppression of the Alliance Legal Department and the Awakened, the members of the Cursed Sect have completely entered a state of silent lurking, and can only deal with their superiors and cause trouble when Northrend's "King Master" goes south in a small scale.
The general environment is such that warlocks can only adapt to the environment and cannot expect the environment to adapt to themselves.
So what are the current upward channels for warlocks?
There is no doubt that the best choice is to join the Military Intelligence Agency and become a spy with special law enforcement powers.
A wide-brimmed hat with a big brim and a standard black windbreaker, a song of shadows praising loyalty, and applause for the public.
As internal civil servants of the Alliance, this group of shadow agents have a special spellcasting certificate issued by the Kirin Tor Council of Dalaran. In the ridicule of ignorant people, these black dogs have a killing license issued by the Alliance.
The second choice is undoubtedly to work as researchers in major magic associations.
Although there is also the possibility of being studied, for a scientific research master who is not good at fighting, this road is still quite smooth. As the victor, the alliance's mentality at this time is still relatively tolerant and generous, and the research on the power of shadow is conducive to mastering efficient countermeasures. In other words, although the Alliance does not advocate the large-scale use of the power of shadow, it is not opposed to conducting bottom-line research on the power of shadow under the supervision of Dalaran.
In addition to working as a spy and a research institute, joining a lower-level government agency is also an acceptable way out.
For example, the Development and Reform Commission, such as the Union Tax Administration.
After all, there are only a few people who become sorcerers through mutation. There are no illiterate spellcasters these days.
In the social ecosystem of Lordaeron, where feudalism and capital coexist, the demand for cultural people is almost unlimited.
As long as you have talent, the government is waiting for you.
If one had to choose between incompetence and shamelessness, then the Alliance would choose incompetence.
At the moment when the magic industry is booming, we must liberate and develop productivity. We do not listen to slogans, but only look at performance.
Generally speaking, warlocks have the ability to commit various criminal acts. However, as the top warlocks are widely suppressed, the middle-level warlocks are unable to fight and hide, and they are basically unable to live a decent and wealthy life. There are only so many ways.
The competition is very fierce.
As the war in Lordaeron gradually subsided, the Alliance, especially the Kingdom of Alterac, wasted no time in handing out military titles.
Four barons competing for the position of deputy director of a screw factory is not a joke in the alliance. It is normal for three retired army commanders and eight combat hero title winners to compete for the position of village chief of a newly built administrative village.
Twenty years ago, after the Second Orc War was fought, some land was given to the veterans, and some money was given to the officers. It was a warrior's belonging to put down his weapons and go home to farm.
But times have changed.
It was not Carlos who started the age of industrialization.
He's just not the type to do this.
The Grand Marshal of the Alliance just loosened the shackles that had been tied to the mage's neck for hundreds of years, and then whipped him twice.
The accumulation of technology at the magic level has always been there, but it has just been shelved.
Factory operations have been played in Ironforge and Quel'Thalas for hundreds of years, and even Dalaran has them.
I can make a living by farming honestly, but I can no longer buy cosmetics for my wife or new clothes for my baby.
The explosion of productivity not only exploded the desire of the alliance, but also awakened a strong sense of pride and cohesion in the alliance.
In this historical background, due to the full-scale outbreak of the Zul'Gurub War, Dalaran's academic masters who were busy making money were unwilling to put down their research and factories at home to work as human forts in the jungle of Stranglethorn Vale.
So, under the strong pressure of the six-person council, a large draw using ancient artifacts to ensure fairness was conducted and twenty unlucky people were selected.
It is natural for the Archmage to serve the Alliance, but the formation of the Mage Group stumped Dalaran.
Unlike the Archmage who has his own mage tower and can be manipulated by the Kirin Tor in various ways.
A large number of mid-level mages have left their jobs to work in major factories and organizations in the alliance. It is necessary to form a mage group when the personnel relationship has been decoupled from Dalaran.
this……
If you dare to send junior mages and mage apprentices to the front line, Carlos will check your Dalaran tax reports.
With no choice but to do so, the Dalaran authorities openly recruited spellcasters with intermediate professional titles or above from the society based on the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils.
Including but not limited to mages.
