The inclusion of Elassa in the White Pantheon has fundamentally shifted the dynamic, although that is only natural when a Goddess appears who represents magicians. If it was up to me alone, then I would have kept Elassa as a client and deal with her in the same way we deal with countries, not individuals. Alas, she fought in the Great War, she did do her fair share.
Unlike Divine Orders, whether it be Clerics, Guardians, Paladins or Seekers, mages are fundamentally a different class of people. Orders can be described as military organisations, none have a life-vow amongst the lower ranks, and all selectively recruit candidates. Whereas one is or is not a magician. There is no such thing as leaving Elassa's demesne, one can't unlearn what they have learned. In the same fashion that hearing Kassandora's music addicts one to the taste of War, Elassa's thirst for discovery is just as addicting.
