Toward Ecosophy

Except, if the intention was brutal fairness, then they'd work towards that. It's the same critique of the Magic Resistance: the working aims at causing harm to people. There were, presumably, plenty of other ways to defuse that working, and the caster of the above working went straight to trying to kill the people casting it. That may very well be justified self-defence; but it is still using magic to try to kill people, and that gives me some pause.
