I was referencing Pierce's comment that the Gift gets darker as the mage gets more powerful
Ah, that's one I must've missed somewhere. I consider it BS.
I'm not all that fond of that "any mage drinking = power automatically out of control" idea (my Lindhall, which post I'll get to soon, is a hardcore drinker)
Lindhall as a drinker is most *certainly* something I can get behind. I can imagine that a mage, without inhibitations, would be just as likely to do stupid things as I am, so I can understand a general advisory against drinking for mages, but I can't get behind the notion of mages who drink automatically risking explosions or anything. But I could see facets of Thom's personality - the things he's been hiding, for example - appearing when he's had lots of wine. :)
