Question/Thought about sponsored magic

(1/6) > >>

Saedar:
Hello all! This is my first time posting but I've been lurking for a while. I like to lurk...

Anyway! I was thinking about a character idea the other day (think Champion of Lucifer, anti-Michael) and I was wondering about the in-game laws regarding sponsored magic. I know that vampires and fae and such can use abilities that would otherwise violate the Laws (mind-control, killing and the like) but what about mortals saddled with sponsored magic? Do the Laws not apply because they come from a non-mortal source or do the Wardens still get to be all head-choppy because its a mortal making use of the abilities?

Sorry if this is a little convoluted. I will clarify if needed!

iago:
I get your question, but the answer is really going to be decided on a game by game basis. Personally, I think you might still be vulnerable to the spiritual consequences of breaking the laws of magic (i.e., you'll find yourself getting hit with the Lawbreaker stunt/penalty thing), but I don't know if the Wardens would necessarily get involved. They might, though; I doubt the White Council has a non-aggression pact with Hell. :)

Archmage_Cowl:
a possibly related question(sorry if it isnt) Could an outsider grant sponsored magic? and would the fairy queens grant sponsored magic(like to their knight) or would that be more like giving them fairy magic?

Saedar:
Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply. I see what you mean about the spiritual consequences. I always enjoy playing characters on the...how shall we say...left-handed side of morality. Maybe a Scion or Emissary of Power could be fun.

As for outsider's handing out sponsored magic, I kind of thought that that was something Cowl and the White King (through his anti-magic resistances) had accomplished, but that may just be individual gifts or rituals. Is Faerie Magic not a sub-type of Sponsored Magic? It is listed separately on Rick Neal's page...hmm...this bears investigating.
