Actually, I think if you look closely, you'll see that Rowan didn't personally kill anyone. She did slice a couple of people...
Also: Why are you assuming the dragons were an accident?
Also: Was the mass slaughter of the wizards' servants justified? No, it was not. But I don't know why you're blaming Rowan for that... it was Willam. Rowan didn't have a real understanding of what Will's magic could do -- and she had no warning that he was going to destroy the entire fortress just to save her.
Keep an eye on Will's moral stance. He's a 14-year-old kid.
