Passed out copies of ON THE SUBJECT OF MAGE RIGHTS, A MANIFESTO at NYCC today. Morrigan was not impressed. Full text below.@ameliarating as Anders, @veliseraptor as MorriganWe have heard that MAGIC must serve man, not rule over him, and this I will not argue, but merely add to: go to the Circles and see those pitiful, STIFLED creatures, babes as well as grown and ask, WHOM is being SERVED?Surely those with gifts of HEALING should have the liberty to SERVE the sick; and those with gifts of War to SERVE the defenseless; and those with gifts of Turning Into Spiders to SERVE those who delight in all the Maker’s creations?!?FOR MAGIC IS A GIFT FROM THE MAKER and to deny one’s use of one’s gifts is a grievous  to Him and to Mages and to the Ungifted who might have benefitted and also to ME PERSONALLY.Andraste suffered at the hands of Magisters, thus she feared the  of Magic. But if the Maker blamed MAGIC for the Magisters’ actions in the Black City, why would he still GIFT us with it? The OPPRESSION of Mages stems from the Fears of Men, not the WILL of the MAKER.THE CHANT OF LIGHT SAYS:Foul and Corrupt are theyWho have taken His GIFTAnd turned it against his ChildrenThey shall be named MALEFICAR, accursed onesThey shall find no Rest in this WorldOr BeyondWE ARE THE MAKER’S CHILDREN. Who then are the Maleficar but those who have taken his Gift and turned it against us? The very CHANTRY and TEMPLARS who ought to Protect us!! Andraste preached FREEDOM and ended SLAVERY, so why do they lock up Mages and keep them as Slaves? They ABUSE us and take away our Loved Ones, our Dreams, our Emotions, our Selves, and our Cats with laws fearful of an empire that crumbled a thousand years ago.The Templars set themselves above us but we bind OURSELVES in their chains! The Loyalists and the Aequitarians and First Enchanters are already TRANQUIL in Spirit. To be FREE to use the GIFT the Maker granted us, we must split from the Chantry completely and hold the MALEFICAR who trap us accountable to JUSTICE. There must be Justice in the world.We who are Free have a Responsibility to our Fellow Mages. We must END OUR OPPRESSION. We have the Right to Love, Life, and LIBERTY. There is NO way to change things peaceably. If it’s Tranquility or Death, we have no Choice but to make EVERY confrontation a Life or Death struggle for the Freedom every man, woman, and child have as a Natural Right! JOIN THE REVOLUTION! WE MUST BREAK OUR CHAINS! -- source link
