The Fallen will have more power over you, influence your thoughts, and eventually turn you into a monster that would just love to cause a Mini-Apocalypse. With DarkHallow you're still your own man, with nothing influencing your choices, so its more of a "Right-now-evil-act" vs a "Later on- a -chaos-loving-maniac" thing.

you could debate this fact as we have WoJ that Power comes from Purpose. There is no saying that once the dark hallow is complete that the new demi-god or whatever would not be bound in some new way.

Nothing influencing your choices but the normal side-effects of performing a massive sacrificial necromantic ritual.

Terribly wrong, you are what you eat, doing a Hallow and remaining entirely yourself is nigh impossible i'd bet. Your eating a bunch of spirits.

Heh. Heh. Regretting all the Dirt eating dares from my childhood now. It explains a lot though.

The vampires thinking they are innocent doesn't matter. In that universe they are evil. The only exception are those very few who are like Thomas who fight their evil demon. Very few have shown any care about killing though.

True. I'm not contesting the fact that they should be exterminated.

The resolve though. You have to believe in what you magically do, to pull it off, you have to absolutely believe that killing a few people to achieve your goals (whatever they may be) is right. It's unlikely that you would change.

If we are talking about Harry, It would change him, because so far in the books he has shown that every innocent life is worth saving (to a Fault). For him to change his resolve to think that it would be okay to sacrifice that many innocents would be a huge deviation from who he was.
I think in changes he says that the reason that he chose Mab and the WK mantle was because the only one who paid the price would be him.
