I don't see my mage suffering from karma loss for misusing elementals
this way... since mages see elementals as things to be used anyway. Hey,
if I can burn off its force points permanently by tying it to a spell for
(force)days, then should that bring a karma loss?

Well if you re-read your posts, you might find that I've tried to remain
well-mannered while under attack from people who don't know the notion.
I'v been insulted, send pathetic private e-mail, and harassed. I wonder
that I'm not defensive, but I don't see that I am. I'm just tired of
trying to talk like adults when so many have to act like children because
their beliefs are challenged. (Hey, I may live close to the world
headquarters of one of the most religiously conservative churches in the
world, but even I have limits to patience with other people's
xenophobia.) But if I come across as defensive then shovel your
perceptions elsewhere. (Now do I come across as offensive? *grin*)

Seriously, it's been like talking to a brick wall for me, and when I ask
another question I've consistently been slammed for the question. Hm...
intolerance. It gets old. Perhaps thats why there are a small number of
posters here compared to the number of readers?
