the standard logic of cormag is inconsistent

I got this random urge to write some Cormag fic, so I started digging through the Sacred Stones script and support conversations to get a better sense of his character (been years since I last played FE8, so my memory's a bit hazy)...

…and I discovered that the writing with respect to Cormag is irritatingly inconsistent.
