and his magic. While you don't believe in it's use to
enhance you, you are promoting the use of magic, by
helping the mage. As a battlerager that is how I might
look at it. Would I kill you at every opportunity? No.
But I would kill you if I saw you helping a mage in any
way.

of alignment? If I were a storm rager, and you were
a duergar who didn't believe in magic, I'd most
likely pound on you.
