I mean, come on! Even Slytherin himself didn't take it! And that is saying something knowing Slytherin, who clearly wasn't afraid to sacrifice other people for his goals. It was definitely implied that the Relic was somewhat like a Horcrux in this regard. Anne and Ominis commented he was 'not himself' anymore. His behaviour suddenly changed after getting the Relic from that catacomb.

But MC didn't even try to learn how to cure Anne and he saw the Relic as his last resort. (The very first thing Sebastian says after getting out of the Catacomb? 'Anne won't survive this'.) Even though at this point it was also pretty clear that the Relic was heavily affecting his brain. He clearly cared about Anne more than anything else.

But at the same time Seb actually begged MC to use Ancient Magic (which has nothing to do with the Dark Arts) to cure Anne. Was he interested in the Dark Arts a little? Well yes, like a lot of other 15-yo boys, I'm sure. I thought the game made it abundantly clear he was neither of those things. Either they say that Solomon was an 'abusive sh*t' who brought it all on himself (which is obviously a victim blaming for me) or they call Sebastian a 'maniac' for the Unforgivables and wanting to use Dark Magic and only use Anne's condition as an 'excuse'.

I see a lot of people really like to go to extremes with their opinions.
