Not two magic users use the same form, a fireball from two people are different in it's own. It's not the magic that hurts people, it's the people behind those countless daedric minions and fireballs that hurts people! Not wanting to use magic because you prefer brute strength over the elements (why would you do that?!) is fine, but calling other mages weaklings is wrong. (Besides, think about it, if a warrior keeps pestering you and taunting you calling you weakling, and coward because you use magic even though you save people countless times, would you make a I have no mouth and I must scream reference by turning him into the same thing that ted was turned into as punishment?)

Not liking Necromancers is okay, I mean like most Necromancers are evil, so that's reasonable.

Also, most of the time, the villains who worship a Daedric Prince and try to take over the world are just power-hungry, and have fallen to temptation (Merhunes Dagon only wanted to destroy Tameriel, not take it over, also if they die, they are again, lied to, and get the hell they deserve, and are dipped in lava in all eternity. I know it's just to rough them up, but by the time they get out, they are probably not in the same mental state they were in before they died.)

So in a way, due to corruption, the villains that worship the real villain who's behind all the chaos are victims as well, fallen to lies, and once they out lived their usefulness, they are killed. They probably have enough time to think about it, but by then it's already too late! They can't undo the damage they caused!!! Like the Mythic Dawn who helps you kill Cameron Tharn, and the NPC in the Forbidden Grotto, like Elise the God-Hater "I DESERVE IT!" I know that may not make sense, but that's how I think about all the plots that have some Necromancer worshiping some god-like monster for power, due to lies of power and stuff like "We will be gods among men" and "I will show you the true power of the arcane if you join my cause, and we will rule this world full of defiant worms with a iron fist!" Then "did you really think I would need you after you gave me these artifacts? All I need is your body and your soul to unleash this vessel's true power!" or just plain "you have out lived your purpose"

That was painful to read. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.
