[@RyuShura] I very much enjoy the concept of restraining faults behind using magic. It would give these [i]knights[/i] or however they may be labeled a much larger burden than simply defending the weak or trying to eradicate dangerous creatures. Perhaps two different sects, and internal conflict risen from what emotions they draw upon? Darker, more twisted magic incites a far more gruesome or rapid transformation in humans, and the alternative, pulling on brighter emotions or experiences might have less of an effect, or more of an emotional corruption, alla necromancy V.S. elemental magic. If your hero allows himself to be consumed by things like revenge, greed, pride etc, he may find himself falling into a very unfavorable denomination, and vice versa if he sticks to his righteous instinct. There's potential for redemption if he dips too far into darker magic as well.

As always, I think it's important to distinguish between Arcane, and Ki, where Ki focuses on physical abilities, and the Arcane covers all magical foundation.

I'm digging the [i]'knights'[/i] idea quite a bit, yea.
