You know, it actually makes me feel a little better that you're an actual sorcerer and you still forget it can actually be magic sometimes. Like, at least I honestly come from a world with no magic at all, as far as I know.

[A small sigh.]

So, I guess, a couple things. In the short term, it kind of doesn't matter, in that the problem is compulsions to violence and murder, right? So whether that's magic or brain chemistry, the short-term solution is keep him restrained at night and tell people to be on their guard. Rowntree is dealing with the first part and the division heads have been discussing part two.

But. Longer term. He came to me because he wants to know if the Research division can cure him. And that... then it's going to matter what's causing it. A lot.
