A esoterically defeated enemy with alot of money and resources, back to the wall. Scary, but not unbeatable.
Well say they are denied occult power amplification...maybe further esoteric curses are needed, and I believe its not just them, ''makes not tactical sense'' there are traitors ''without conscious'' so ingrained by choice with so much to defend I doubt there is much difference.
Metaphorically: Let me put it this way, in the book ''Showdowland'', the magician gave speckle john a choice, your wings or your song.
He choose his song so he lost his magic, but he still had his wings ''freedom'' and helped the enemy.
Background on story loose metaphor example: Tom ''a short sighted one who could not wait for his learning or inheritance'' Went against the Earl king who offered him apprenticeship but the boy was a traitor, ''he was tested'' though given every chance. ''A Demon said take my hand and I will put you back into your bedroom and it will be ok, not to late to do the right thing'' at the last min...he refused. He could not wait for his time to come or to learn properly, he wanted what belonged to another ''Rose''.
Point is: John nonetheless helped the boy as a servant and it was the old grand Magician Collins, undoing. (I cant speak for all of his ethic though, few Novels are perfect).
What is to be done if a enemy is striped of power yet wealthy and influential? Also the large group of invested traitors to confuse and beguile, with there stolen song?
