I'm little-regarded for bedside manner, but let's pretend for the moment that those three align.

I trust you've had word of the Venatori anchors. Should we attempt recruitment or rescue, I'd sooner understand their point of view. Troubles, joys, anything we might leverage.
My perspective might not be the best one to pursue. [at least he says it openly and honestly] One would hope that the simple suggestion of being free to do as they please and not be corralled around like cattle might be enough, but we all know it's never that simple.
Obviously the joys include being capable of tremendous feats, even without being capable of magic, and the ability to close rifts. And the troubles include the odd pains and tingles and the fact that in an uncertain amount of time it'll become deadly.
Which I find to be a small price to pay for the joys. Not everyone feels that way. I think it's a gift, and a duty, from blessed Andraste, and most people don't feel that way.
[ without being capable of magic, it lingers at the edge of thought. he debates how far to push, ]
I believe that may render your perspective of particular value.
[ most people don't feel the anchors are a gift, no. most don't feel magic is. corralled like particularly useful cattle. but in tevinter — ]
If they're native, they'll have been told all their lives that magic is a gift, one which raises their station; perhaps places them closer to the Imperial Chantry. I admit some trouble, mn. Assuming the view.
[ to be raised in a circle is to find a particular shape. ]

Also that if they didn't want it anymore, we'd allow them to be removed. Long as they understand what removal means in this case.

That cultivation: Have you experienced it? The, I suppose you'd call it growth, of those powers.
