"That simple? Will it work?" Kyrissa looked at Patrick with some disbelief. "We only need to forbid every faction and individual from drawing energy from the ley line system?"
"Of course it will, and this is our only option." Patrick dispelled his levitation spell and sat in a chair. "Every way of using energy has advantages and disadvantages, but a method that so clearly harms the entire continent must be banned. Besides, Dalaran is the only one whose interests will suffer seriously under this approach. Even if anyone else wants an excuse to declare war, they won't have grounds for it."
"Dalaran is different from us. Quel'Thalas has the Discs of Norgannon, or rather, the Sunwell, while Blue Dragons can use arcane energy directly. Only Dalaran is different. As a floating city, the Violet Citadel needs an enormous Source of Energy to sustain it. This is precisely where it differs completely from the Scourge's flying battleships. The Violet Citadel draws ley line energy to use as its Power Source, whereas Naxxramas is the Lich King's prized creation. He makes Naxxramas float directly through dark magic. Although we still don't know how it works, I suspect the Lich King may be drawing soul energy directly from living people to power it."
Patrick's main objective now was to establish a mechanism to protect Azeroth. Everything the Lich King had done on Azeroth was undoubtedly against the world and against life. The Lich King was naturally an enemy of such a mechanism. Even if Patrick did nothing, the Lich King was still a foe that all living beings on Azeroth needed to defeat.
Dalaran also happened to violate this mechanism. Recklessly draining the ley line system was, of course, damaging Azeroth. Patrick could also attack Dalaran in the name of a just cause,
