My point was more that you can be doing this Really Great Thing as a White Mage, that saves a bunch of lives and is generally amazing and awesome. Â Or, at least, you think you're doing the right thing. Â And you're still destroying the land (though probably not in a way that you immediately realize). Â That's the issue with White Magic - even doing the right thing, you can still screw everything up. Â Which is why the Elementals were like, "Nope, no one else gets to use this, you guys keep blowing things up. Â I know you mean well, but you're not touching the hot stove anymore."
