Memory 7: sentence of exile

( sovereign authority stance )

EFFECTS/WHAT HE LEARNS:

* Well. That explains why he got exiled, all right.
* This memory is pretty heartwrenching; he gets a deep sense that he loves all these people with all his heart, and now he'll never see them again unless they get exiled too. (Whether this is true or not depends on the next book, but probably not.)
* Anima magic can control people as well as animals; that's why it's banned.
* Coming on the heels of his last memory, he knows he did something deeply taboo. He also knows that the alternative would have been worse for everyone else, so he doesn't regret it.
* He's not pleading for mercy himself; he's pleading for understanding of this new kind of magic. He knows and accepts the price he has to pay, even if it hurts like crazy.
* At least he kept the promise to always remember his friends
* Apparently he's pretty good at what he does even without anima magic.
* +10000 missing his hex
* +200 willing to sacrifice personally if the goal is worthwhile
* -50 concern about taboo
