"Recommend" isn't the same as "do this or face the consequences".

In Azemaerlor's case specifically, "Defenders are dedicated to the
rudimentary battlefield healing arts and protection of their fellow
Villagers in combat." I think he did that fairly well, even dealing with
the added penalties placed upon him from a religious perspective.

Furthermore, the Battle helpfile states "BattleRagers have dedicated
their lives to the study of warfare, and focused that study and their
rage upon the destruction of magic."

Seems to me the focus is on destroying magic, not necessarily magi.
I think with the introduction of the veil, you see a lot more room for this
kind of RP/variation in the cabal than you might have in the past.

Goodies being held to a higher moral standard than other aligns, would
you prefer if they weren't allowed in this cabal? Because it sounds like
that's the only real option you're willing to accept.
