The point is, if you would be a young would-be-mage, with powers you don't understand and can barely control (whenever your gift is "naturally" awaken or awaken after a trauma) and you started to feel watched, and everybody had forgotten that what you can do is possible to do... Well. For me, that is one good definition of "nightmare".
And I don't buy for one moment that in some far-away village people haven't stone to death young would-be-mages in the 500 years between Vanyel and the next mage. People are people are people, Heralds might be Heroes, but the people of Valdemar are not all saints ò.ò
