I took thee as a son, and thou hast acted as a traitor. Thou hast twisted my spells, changing the high magic for lowly gains, and given them to a witch! Know thou, that magic misused returns threefold. A fool's act, to trade the secrets of the masters for the fleeting pleasure of a witch's coin. Thou thinkest thyself clever, but thou hast only acted as a thief in the night. The knowledge I gave thee is sacred, yet thou hast made it vile. Thy training is ended, and thou art branded a rogue mage. Thou false-hearted knave! Thou hast dared to tamper with the sacred arts and sell them for a pittance to that striga? Thou hast not only broken thy vow of silence but hast invited calamity upon us both. Thy folly shall be thy undoing; I shall strip thy mind of these secrets faster than a hanging causes the soul to flee!
