Stupid officials being down.

Anyway.

No.

Quas is totally correct about this. When you join The Village you don't just give up magic, you give up almost everything other than the war on magic.

You can be a Drow who hates Elves, but you can't be a Drow who hunts non-mage Elves.

As for turning off The Head, that's not something that any Villager should ever be interested in doing, ever. Those powers are hard-won and they serve a very good purpose, namely killing mages.

The war on magic pretty much never ends. Did you kill every single mage in your range? Do you have The Key? Do you have The Scepter? Are you at war with any cabals who have stinking magescum in leadership positions? Do you have their items? How's the Veil?

Even if the Veil is thick, you don't want the Rhyme logging on and going to grab a dozen things to weaken it again, so you better go get all the stuff that is available.

Who has time to go hunt the Elf who made nasty comments to you in the Academy?
