[ she really. is. but her relationship advice is kind of just spouting off whatever makes logical sense to her, so it's pretty limited. ]
I don't know. My experience with these things has been very different from yours. I wish that I had an answer for you.
In this case, though... Are you sure you're the one burning it? It could be the circumstances. It could be the other party. You won't be able to make up for all variables as just one factor in the equation. Though that doesn't make it any easier.
If we're doing math about it, then I am the consistent factor in each problem, however.
If I didn't want things so badly, I might have gotten them. Well-behaved mages are allowed to leave, sometimes. Play at having power at a court, or allowed to research under supervision. If I hadn't wanted Hawke so badly, I might not have scared him so much.
That's playing into oppressive rules that you've said yourself are awful. I wouldn't fault you for it out of self-preservation, but you aren't wrong to want better for yourself.
