It's real hard for us to discuss this as we have no idea how they expect to
use Vlad.   I'm not even sure they have much of an idea - their powers and
minds are sufficiently different from ours that they might have more trust
in their abilities to make cryptic oracles than in anything detailed and
solid.    Maybe they have full trust in "Vlad will be essential for this
goal - after he has the required tools and training".     Which doesn't mean
that "this goal" is what they think it is, nor if it would be desirable.
(Think "defeat my enemy").   And certainly they can argue whether
**spoiler** is an appropriate tool.   Even gods can use self-interest to
cloud the way thy look at things.

Also, they may think that they can alter his mind if they so desire. The 
Jenoine affected Morrollen, Aliera and Vlads perception despite great 
weapons and assorted familiars. Great weapons are linked to the soul, but 
are they linked to the mind? Also, the Lords of Judgment have another tool 
to use against Vlad; Kieron himself. But whether they would risk releasing 
him from the halls is another question.
