First of all, yes, the Diachaim is the source of quite a number of skills, however the way they are sourced is completely different. Priests beseech the Gods themselves for assistance, rather than trying to control the stuff of Gods with a mortal frame.. If you know history, mortals messing with Magick was the reason most metals aren't usable anymore, and new smithing methods needed to be found. My point was, that in claiming to protect nature, Magick is not required to be effective at it. There is nothing natural about tapping into a source of power that is Divine by nature... As deluded as you are, even you aren't dense enough to think yourself Divine.
As for the double standards, you have failed to see my point, instead embarking on a personal rant about yourself (who was talking about arrogance?) trying to make out that the Dunestriders are trying to control the bounty of nature, which I might point out, is available to anyone, regardless of persausion. You were enemied because you chose to break the laws of the city you -chose- to be in. You knew the rules, you decided they didn't apply to you, therefore you aren't welcome to return. I love the fact that you now choose to do the same thing in another city now. I'm glad they've taken you in, it means the rest of us don't need to put up with you.
Breaking limbs in the arena, is exactly the same as breaking them outside of it.. Feel free to come see me, and I'll show you exactly what I mean, if, of course, you ever decide to stop hiding behind the grace of the gods. Your inability to see that trees burning in the arena is the same as outside of it, only shows me you've managed to slip further than I expected, and can no longer hear the screams of the burns as the flames scorch them. I do hope your harvesting abilities allow you to get the required dosage of orphine and wormwood you require to combat the confusion, stupidity and dementia that currently afflicts you so badly. As for Team Free For Alls, had you ever joined one, you'd know the teams are chosen by the Gods themselves, and no discussion is allowed to be entered into about them. Perhaps you should take that up with Them?
Also I'm relatively sure nothing in my post was 'full of rage', and nothing you've stated even comes close to a scientific examination of the facts. Before making a public spectacle of yourself, you really should read the posts, and make a mature judgement, as hard as that may be for you.
