[@Saarebas]Right, but at least the Templars would defend the parties not involved. 

And realistically, yeah one man does not equate to a whole group, but anyone in any government goes to profiling of what anyone is because no one would know how to rationalize that. You involved an innocent party. And killed said party. 

But even in retrospect, these choices are grey. Yeah, mages do really fucked up shit. They are a step away from demons eveytime they do magic and feel oppressed because they are powerful? That is an illogical view and should instead of feel oppressed, they should go "Being here is less likely to harm the innocents." but no, they rather be selfish.

The Templars would rather only take down such a group, one group that can use any person as fuel for dark arts. I rather side with those Templars simply because "One group to endanger all other groups."
