I don’t recall the dagger ever exuding some kind of magical influence on those who have wielded it. Is that a thing? I know it did with the Dark Ones, but I don’t remember it doing so with others. Unless you all are just saying that power is addictive and I agree.

My thing, as I said in the SF thread, is less that he wanted to kill Beowolf and went through with it (I personally probably would have done it, but I’m a terrible person.) but that he feels no remorse and is almost diving head in, wanting to harm the bakers son, and basking in the power. That doesn’t seem like Bae at all.

I would have much rather preferred this to be the moment he gets a taste of dark magic, of what the power means, and that is what also helps to push him away from it. Once he calms down from the heat of the moment he takes a moment and realizes what he has done, what he has caused his father to do, what that dagger can cause him to do, and that really just pushes him away further in the “magic is bad” state of mind. This COULD have been done really well, and it was just a huge what the fudge moment.

Literally just me about the whole thing:
