[HerenIstarion]

Perhaps I'll be giving discussion turn off the main course, but since we do not have other active threads on Smith going right now, I feel the turn may be justified

In the text itself (not an essay), there are two types of Evil in the Faery itself - Greater Evil (or Evils) and Lesser Evil. The latter is defied by the Star, and from the Greater Smith is guarded (by the Queen?)

It is not explained what are those Evils. Now, vague impression I have that Lesser is Vanity, and gifted person is rarely vain, but the Greater should be Pride/Arrogance, and here gifted person is in greater peril. Yes? No?

I'm not going to elaborate further, at the very least bacause I'm not sure what else may I add. Imagine me standing by the pot and adding just another spice to the 'boiling soup' of your debate here.
