CW: red magic, Illuminants, etc in comments

A few of the Illuminants might be in the temple with the dragons. While it is not a certainty, the risk is too large to ignore.

One of them will likely look as i usually do, but have both arms.

I highly suggest against engaging with any of their family unless you are comfortable with being gruesomely murdered, used as a plaything or otherwise dealing with beings who do not see you as equals.

If you are fine with that, then do as you please.

Even if the Illuminants are not present, warning the local population of their existence and power is of equal importance. A forewarned people are a prepared people.

If you want to know more, I will answer as I can but I am better versed in Red's....antics than the others.

But did he remain himself, only altered, or was he overwritten by the Red Illuminant?

I'm not saying killing them is anything like a good idea, but I am saying the distinction might be pretty damn relevant if someone gets it into their head to try.

Overwritten, if the Illuminant left him I suspect it would leave him a soulless husk.

I, sadly, expect someone trying to prove their heroic might to attempt it based solely on their moral outrage over something that does not follow their rules of what is good or bad existing in their vicinity.

Moral outrage is kind of humanity's hat.

Believe it or not, what you're describing is probably the option that sucks less. For any hypothetical attempts to keep them from screwing over the local magical ecology, I mean, not for whichever poor sucker they sink their teeth into.
