Ask Indra more about witchcraft

"Indra, the things you say ring true, but they are heresy. Perhaps a sword is a tool, able to **** or defend, but my sisters and I are taught to restrain ourselves. That is why we maintain purity of our minds and bodies alike. If you have knowledge of dark powers, how do you stay vigilant against temptation?"

The witch nods along as if she's heard it all before. "Because, if I could freely subject myself to the horrors you just escaped from, I would do so as often as I could, right? No, better yet, I would subject others to it."

She makes it sound as if it's a simple choice, but you know better. Magic begets magic. It is impossible to draw upon those forces without them changing you. It is only a matter of time before one begins to crave more and more power. That is the reason magic is such a closely guarded secret, and it is also why the Order of the Burning Rose channels the power of their goddess rather than dabbling in such potential dangerous arts.

"You know what I speak of. I would have you tell me, plainly, what separates your craft from the dark powers I've been trained all my life to fight."

For the first time, Indra looks at you without sympathy. If her hospitality was all a facade, better to **** her intentions into the open now. Still, you do not favor your chances unarmed against a witch. Your body tenses as you await her answer.
