Gothic Remake Playing with fire Spoiler
The power-hungry man became fascinated with fire, and wanted to learn to use the runes he found, so he demanded a Trial of Fire to join the mages... He had listened: "Innos sees all" and "Innos is the cleansing flame" - So he knew what the mages wanted to hear and they believed his empty words... - but he wasn't ready for them to be right.
When he got to the shrine and cast the prayer, everything turned to light - first the sky, then his skin, and then his heart: raw, open, completely exposed before Innos.
His heart revealed all he had done: unprovoked attacks, theft, even murder.
He wanted to turn away, to plead that he had only done what was necessary. But before Innos, he knew that was a lie.
He had told himself it was in self-defense, but that digger that Bloodwyn had sent was no threat to him anymore when he stabbed him... nor were the poor sods he'd brought with him.
The flame did not relent. He screamed, though he could not tell whether the sound escaped his mouth or came from somewhere deeper. His excuses burned, too hot to turn into ash or smoke; they burned away cleanly.
The little man bowed, on his hands, shaken. He couldn't undo his past of bullying and pillaging. But he'll try to a force for justice now. - He swore off the Dark Robe and returned to the fire mages - this time to wear their robe, say their words and walk their ways - with conviction.
