A question about the ending: why was the sorcerer allowed to leave like that? Even if his tower has been destroyed, he still seems far from harmless. All in all, the game was very good, but it just doesn't make much sense to leave the main villain go free, while his hitman, who is less dangerous than him, is going to be hanged.

The question actually is, how exactly do you plan on stopping him? A prison won't hold the sorcerer, and he's not exactly easy to kill.

Nimwe doesn't kill. Arawn Nos might, but doesn't interfere. He's lost, broken and humiliated; to the Fair Folk, it suffices to send him off like that. Although they'll keep an eye on him, they have no desire to physically incarcarate him and keep guard.

But couldn't they at least have taken away his magic powers, so that the humans could imprison him themselves? He broke the pact with the magic world after all, so he was no more worthy of the possibility to use magic. Or were the fairies not able to do that?

Nimwe did strip him of most of his power when she shattered his tower. But one can't just drain somebody of all magic, short of killing him, regardless of whether or not one thinks he's worthy. So Taranis is still capable of the things his apprentice can do, which includes teleportation.

However, having been rebuked once for violating the Pact, he had best think twice or thrice before meddling in mortal affairs again.

Isn't it a pity that the most evil of anti-heroes need to have some measure of intelligence...
