[QUOTE="Preacher, post: 321887, member: 11621"] With enough wealth you can essentially buy influence, which is power, and with enough cunning you can steal the power from others in various ways that give you more influence over others. In a setting with magic power is a physical thing you can interact with, so it's even easier to buy and steal it then. You can also beg/plead for power from a god or similar and then if they think it'll offer some amusement or if they take pity or understand your plight they'll let you borrow some power, probably for something in return like servitude but you'll have it nonetheless, at least over those lower than you but to the one you got it from you have none. [SPOILER="How these discussions usually go"] There's gonna be some guy going "Power corrupts" And then I'm gonna say "Power only gives someone the courage to take their mask off" And then they're gonna go "But that implies that everyone has some evil to/in them" Then I'll go "I'm not implying, I'm stating" "Not everyone is evil. There is such a thing as innocence and morality" "Morality is subjective and is determined by widely held beliefs, in one culture it was morally okay to cannibilize and sacrifice people, in another it was not, and innocence is merely being shielded from the influences of others which inherently takes away innocence" "How can you think so lowly of people?" "How can I not when history is a rhyming tale of violence, cruelty, and death?" So on and so forth, etcetera. ad infinitum, until the thread is closed to further replies or one of us receives the banhammer. [/SPOILER] [/QUOTE]
