first of all, I will stop with the I must scream references. second: Most of the Necromancers I encounter are evil. only one I know of is not, excluding me. I do encounter good ones, but other than that, I'll let you know when I find a necromancer uses necromancy to fight evil and other less noble necromancers. (Necromancer, Preist, Destruction mage, Healer, Sabator, Synergyist, Pacafist, Captin. Those things would describe my character) Bandits kill the weak and think it's honerable. Their cowards, because when I kill them, they yell "Mercy!" I'm sure they hear that from the women, men, and children they kill alot, if not every time. And everytime they raid a village, they cause mental, emotional, and physical pain, despair, sorrow, and anger. So don't you dare tell me soul traping Bandits is evil! I don't like it when it happens to innocents though. I'm talking about the mythic dawn. They are killed over and over again in paradise, and some of them go into the forbidden grotto, and are, for all eternity (at least until I destroy the place) burned in lava. It's horrible, and sounds like hell to me. But to be honest, it's actually a fitting punishment for turning their backs on humanity over false claims of power, and their ambition clouding their judgement. By the time they realize what they were doing was wrong, their too late!
 * By saying that Necromancers are evil, you're doing the same thing you just abolished. Making assumptions based on few individuals.
 * How is trapping souls of bandits moral? I completely disagree. I'd even argue if you'd bring up the "using souls of animals and beasts" which is popular view on Tamriel.
 * Daedric worshipers don't go to hell. Their souls are taken by the said Prince and are used accordingly.

When I say ignorant, I mean thinking it's for the weak (Stragically, yes it is for the weak, but a single spell can turn you into pretty much chuck norris) They also think elves are weak as well. In truth, it's kinda like me as a little kid. I LOVED the warrior and thought it was the best class, but I tried out the mage and found out it was overpowered! They had spells that gave you dadric quality armor ratings, you could use fireballs or lightning bolts or frost bolts to target the enemy's weak points, and you would not need healing potions much. I know they probably know it can set a city on fire, fatally wounding both it and the inhabitants. Also, Reality warping is pretty useful! guy about to smite thy balls with a sickle? use a sheild spell! Jerkwad guy won't give you the info you want? Torture him or warp his mind. Rightfully paranoid a assasin is going to backstab you from behind, cowardly killing you without a chance to fight (Although this never happens because according to the superpower wikia, the elder scrolls protaganist has immesurable amounts of luck) Use a detect life spell. about to drown? use a water breathing spell. Also, The nords do have a right to question the moratlity of some spells. Brain warping is pretty inmoral sometimes. And I am more than on the same boat when it comes to soul trapping. being uneasy about dadric magic is pretty fine with me too. Daedra have mostly done very evil things, but they can go from Killing a naive 18 year old mage and taking his soul to saying stuf like "go on! do great deeds", and openly treating your worshippers nicely and openly admiting you love them. In other words, daedra magic is pretty much witchcraft, but in skyrim I think I'll pick witchcraft over other questionable magic arts in other things. Fearing magic or not liking certain things about it is fine, but if your so scared of it, why don't you learn how to use it? Also, I'm sure you could easily make a spell that stops you from aging pernamently. And no main race is supirior to another, sure in some skills they may learn faster or live longer, but high elfs are only superior in that they have longer livetimes. Also, felling uneasy and uncomfortable around magic is okay, but blatantly hating it is wrong. Still, a mage undeniably can do things a warrior can't, and can easily be stronger than one. That's why you always hear positive stuff from their description. I know magic has caused a lot of hype and chaos, but it can do some good.

All in all I'm sure in all arcane arts, from skyrim to dugeons and dragons, to final fantasty (d&d and Final fantasty seem to be the father and mother of the elder scrolls series) Magic really is not meant for good or evil, it's meant for both. When I say it's a tool, its just like a iron sword, it can kill, but I'm sure if you improvise it can heal you. Simple: enchant it with a healing effect. in other words, magic can destroy, it can create, and it has the potential to do great evil or good. It does often result in acidental crisises though, and you got inmature and prideful mages though. They are no better than the ignorant wariors. P.S yeah, take that orc topic out and replace it with Mage
