The fools who blindly follow the teachings of the Chantry believe them the first children of their god and he'd turned his back to them because they do not have a soul. Some simply believe them to be demons, and every mage knows never to make deals with them. It never ends well. Both for the spirit, or the mage. Though this does them little justice.
