I tried talking. I tried talking for years. I tried talking my way out of the Circle tower, and I tried charming my way into the good graces of those with power. I tried writing. Manifestos. Treatises to the Mage Fraternities. Letters to the Divine. Pamphlets for the populace.
But no one really listens to words. They do listen to the Chantry exploding.
Of course. But I was already an criminal - it is illegal to be a mage outside the walls of a Circle. I was already labeled apostate, but the more dangerous they consider your words, the harsher the punishment they want to dole out.

And then they brand you a criminal, I take it? If they didn't think that already.
