He didn't kill Magnus for literally having bargained with the powers of Chaos and given up his eye for it.
The Emperor does not consider Chaos to be a threat at this time.

I'm damn certain he didn't know about it and his precog was blocked regarding it. There's no way the Emperor wouldn't have slapped him down instantly if he knew
Its not by far a martial paragon for a Primarch.
Kind of on the low end even.

In hindsight, while the fact Magnus couldn't give a decent argument on the practicality of his continued psychic studies and practices probably was a big deciding factor, that (his deal with Tzeentch) probably played a part in his decision to enact the Ban.

Exactly, Magnus always thought he knew how to handle warp better than daddy. It is his version of "daddy notice me" syndrome, primarch edition.

I'd be fine with Serras being relatively inept with close quarters, there's such a thing as being too OP even for a Primarch.
I mean Rogal Dorn, the only other person to land on a peaceful planet ended up near bottom in Primarch combat. He almost lost to Alpharius, the runt of the Primarchs.

Fuckwit even thought that he surpassed the Emperor too. It's amazing that Magnus' ego didn't collapse into a singularity capable of consuming the whole universe.

Well there is James bond twins, their individual stat is lesser than any normal primarch.

A retroactive perk per level. So if we got it before the next time we levelled up, we'd get 10 Perk Points

I don't know. He said something telepathically apparently about how Magnus was in over his head in regards to the Warp, based on the Crimson King's words, at Nikeia.
Emps was about preventing knowledge of Chaos, and openly punishing Magnus or Lorgar for their association would have kind of been openly spreading knowledge of it.

Like I said, the twins are the runts of the Primarchs and Rogal almost lost to one.
I'm decently certain that the Emperor was just reprimanding Magnus for breaking his trust about sorcery and misuse of powers. If he knew Magnus made a pact with a Chaos God then Magnus wouldn't posses any autonomy to fuck things up in the future

I don't think we have to worry about the Emperor showing up and deciding that we need to die. After all, he gave Angron and Conrad Kurze their own Legions, right?
Furthermore, ALL of the Primarchs were exposed to the Warp, so it's not like he'd be surprised if we weren't exactly the same as he had made us to be.
Also... does anyone know if there was a WH40K novel written from the Emperor's perspective? People tend to talk about what the Emperor did or didn't know, but there is little definite proof and Big E always played his cards close to the chest.

If you want better Control, we need to keep training Control, like I said.
We've all ready got tons of bonuses to Psyker rolls from our various skills, so I don't see why getting more is so pressing.

No, and there never will be. The whole point of the Emperor is that he's supposed to be ambiguous. You're never supposed to be sure what his overall plan was.
Issue wasn't the diplomatic side. The Emperor has a Willpower level which makes it functionally impossible to convince him by impassioned debate.Good thing we've got excellent speechifying skills
The Emperor is a Rationalist Utilitarian. Magnus could not give a logical answer of "why keep poking at the Warp" except for "But the SCIENCE!". Really, from his perspective, this shows that Magnus was compromised.
So it's more a matter of logic. You have to demonstrate that Warp-delving provides benefits worth the risk, that the risks can be contained reliably, and that there are no other way to obtain said benefits at less risk.

So what peaks you guys wish to take in next turn? We will get to choose two peaks in bed turn is isn't it?

Still, our Willpower would be considered impressive for an adult primarch, let alone a child.
Something to remember, more than one of our brothers were subverted through ignorance and treachery.
*PARANOIA INTENSIFIES*
Combat is a crucial part of 40K, and if there's one thing our character is unabashedly good at, it's learning things. *shrugs* Much like with regular humans some primarchs are just more capable than other primarchs, see Horus.
The Emperor is at least as smart, and at least as talented, and has had eons to perfect his craft. Magnus was, and is, a spoiled child by comparison. Also note how I wrote 'at least' as if I were putting finger quotes in there, as I'm pretty sure the Emperor is just way fucking beyond him.

I guess we'll have to see how our actions affect things in that regard as the quest progresses.

He made those two. While Serras is some Warp Spawn conjured from the Aether. Whilst he is fighting the masters of the said Aether.
Nope and there never will be.
Not really. The Black Library settled into this awesome explaination that everything the Emperor says and does it perceived through the filters of the viewer. Everything is contaminated by outside expectation.
Precog and mind reading combat are things we could become without becoming a better and improved Sanguinius v2 without any flaws.
Definitely. Magnus is a delusional windbag powered by ego
