Your cleverness, were it not accompanied by your heart, could as easily be a tool for ill. On the other side, the 'fancy births' of my family, as you call them, allow us to improve the quality of the lives of all who toil on our behalf, and the magic in Tevinter is used also to create amenities for the public that would not exist without it, to heal injuries that would otherwise kill. I know not how it was used in your world, but it is not simply a destructive force here.
All depends on the spirit in which such things are used. There is nothing inherently good or inherently bad: things simply are.
