Late reply nut its fairly simple actually. Initially Nergal sought power and strength through the curse he inerited but it turned him into a monster and instead of giving him power it made him weak because it failed to give him what he really sought, rather destroying his environment and alienating his friends and family and those he gained power for. This is why the dialogue refers to the fire within, that it has to be tempered. You cant let it just rage because itll consume you. A good example of this would be something like Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars. We also see with the Christmas version of Nergal of how he actually tries to reconnect to his ability to be constructive and creative rather than destructive via acts of goodness. I actually appreciate what they did to his character; nice development.
