Hrm... I see. Granted, Aemoten doesn't actually have, shall we say, general magical affinity (the canonical version of him is altogether devoid of anything magical). He did, though (in all iterations) spend a rather significant amount of time amongst mages, and was at one point tested for elemental alignment (only in the Prophecy version, as in the Ceterlaanian version there was nothing to test) - blame Ardjan for that. When you mentioned the link between what a person is like and the elemental alignment, I simply began to wonder to which extent the elements I had assigned to him and Etakar in my mind actually lined up with the qualities people with those affinities typically have.

((Edit: From the fact that it is now gone, I assume the later remark had gone astray.))

(The first thing I personally associate with darkness is actually peacefulness... Calmness. Serenity. Concentration. (And as an extension of the last, probably also productivity...))
