Melders go mad. They are best killed or their magic bound to stem the madness.
Say it again. Melders go mad, so kill them or bind their magic and stem the madness.
One more time. Melders, when mad, can kill, so bind them in madness before they learn to use their magic.
How long should Zyla Powerbane wait to go mad?
In the meantime, there is plenty to do.
Reestablish the Lynkyn forest one precious seed at a time.
Steal the mad melder imprisoned beneath the Towers.
Find her friends among the whispering trees.
If she was an outcast before, now she is a criminal.
If she was rejected before, now she has nowhere to turn.
If she had been weak and uncertain, now she is determined to drive herself through all obstacles, even if the cost for success destroys her.
