I have one question.... Why would someone want to have an ally when it makes
your magician so vulnerable? If someone kills the ally it hurts the magician
tremendously! Same as when the ally breaks the control of their master.
(I believe that the magician's magic rating goes down by one when an ally gets
killed or breaks free of his control. Sorry.. I don't have my Grim handy...)

So exactly why would someone want an ally? The way I read it in the Grim II
it seemed that all throughout an ally's life it is getting stronger until it
becomes strong enough to break free of it's master. Does this mean that all
allies will break free from their master's control and leave or try to kill
the master? It would seem that creating an ally will only, in the long run,
take away a point of your essence.

Is this a correct assumption???
