I would argue that she did cause serious mental/emotional/psychological harm with the sundering even if she didn't intend to. I'm of the opinion that it is a sort of death since all they were as a person - their personality etc was wiped out and replaced. I also believe that the sundering did bring about things like disease which caused them to suffer when their way shorter life spans came to an end. I do agree that it's partly about intent but then for me it's about, did she realize what would happen to everyone once she sundered them as far as all the suffering? Did she not realize it would be as bad as it ended up once it was finally done? Or did she know the full implications and did it anyway because she was willing to pay that price?
