Arnvidr started to swing the axe when Sylruna stopped him. The axe stopped midswing, hanging just above Brigit's neck, as he turned to Sylruna.

Sylruna's suggestion to have Brigit be used as an enchanting material made some sense, pragmatically speaking. He didn't consider it because he did not bring a Black Soul gem with him, considering how much necromancy was frowned upon. Thus, he made a habit not to bring a black soul gem unless he was planning to trap a black soul.

[color=0072bc]"You're quite mistaken,"[/color] he started saying to Sylruna, correcting her last remarks, [color=0072bc]"The College of Winterhold does not forbid necromancy. Indeed, most magical institutions do not. In Cyrodiil, the Synod forbids necromancy, while the College of Whispers does not. Even the Mages Guild, with their history against necromancy due to Vanus Galerion's enmity with Mannimarco, only truly forbid necromancy at the end of the Third Era under Archmage Hannibal Traven. I'm certainly not opposed to it in principle if you have a black soul gem on you."[/color]

Then he turned to the Altmer, addressing his objections.

[color=0072bc]"She is an enemy. I do not see the issue. Necromancy is a tool like any other. Should we kill her, her soul would probably wander Sovngarde, forever cursed to look at the eternal celebration within Shor's hall, forever outside her grasp, as her soul continues to break down. Is that sort of existence that much better than the one in Soul Cairn? Brigit should have thought twice before crossing us. At the very least, she should have known that my stance on soul trapping is the same as the College of Winterhold, that is, a tool, like any other magic. Of course, this is all theoretical unless someone has a black soul gem on them."[/color]
