Those who desert the quest's moral ideals but not its mystical exercises, who seek to gain selfish victories over the rights and minds of others by the use of mental or occult power, become evil-doers and suffer an evil end.

Until retribution falls upon them in the end, they bring misery or misfortune to all who accept their influence.
