"the utter obliteration of the sources of magic and those who practice the arcane arts."

Maybe I seek the utter obliteration of "magic and those who practice the arcane arts" by destroying magic at its source, i.e. closing the veil once and for all, rather than by physically destroying every current practitioner?

Maybe I have no qualms about the physical destruction of evil and neutral mages and actively work towards it, viewing them as already too far corrupted by magical influences as to ever be salvageable, but consider that good-aligned mages are not yet too far gone.
