Oh, no, the whole immense power of dark magic thing is totally fine with me, I just don't think it's very interesting to make people explode. [Because clearly being fine with dark magic is something that needs to be cleared up.] If I don't have to kill someone, I'd rather not do it...so it'd be fine if I could just defend myself and make someone really regret having decided to fight me in the first place.
[The tone with which he says that is far too cheery compared to the actual words being said, though Ren could be a lot more questionable about the subject if he wanted to.]
