The version of Gales path where he lives is where he acknowledges his own arrogance, pride, and fallibility, and leaves the source of magic to the gods.

However, Gales analysis of the relationship between gods and men is spot on. Gods are basically parasitic and the rules of the afterlife in 5e are crazy - people who refuse to follow any gods have their souls used as mortar for the wall of faithless in Hell. basically if you dont send worship points to someone youre punished.

If Gale could establish the Karsus weave it could give humanity a chance for a buffer against all the horrible things of hell and gods and fae. A world where all that needless suffering can be rejected. And he happens to be uniquely positioned to have the chance to accomplish this, even taking to account his past overambitiousness.

He is like a Prometheus trying to give this wondrous gift to humanity and is punished by the divine for daring bring humanity that gift.

My Tav was an abjuration wizard I was roleplaying as someone who wanted any dangerous magic he could get to try to make the world better and when Gale started confiding his plan with me I was like no way, the game has an option for this, but the only way you can kinda get close to this is to dominate the Absolute, which is implied to be an evil overlord ending.

I just think its odd that BG3 doesnt seem to think theres any positive way to change the status quo of its world despite the suffering and carnage present everywhere in it. Besides waiting for individual evils to arise and striking them down when they show themselves. But I guess thats kinda how a tabletop rpg setting needs to function.
