Mages are not inherently evil. It's just that everyone (generally everyone, anyway) believes that they are due to their connection to the Gods. Mind you, this doesn't mean that they've traded their souls for this power or anything; it's more of an exchange of their own vital energy to enact some kind of change in the world. There's no real oath to be taken or contract to abide by. 

More about mages and magic will be explained in the OOC. Waiting for, perhaps, one or two more people before I put it up.

All that aside...

Welcome.
