It should probably be remembered that harry isn't exactly an expert on magic especially subtle magic.

As to the bomb question, I'm going to side with the dissenters and say that a bomb serves one function, and one function only. To kill. Even young people know that bombs kill people. It would be VERY hard to say that even a very young practitioner could reasonably believe that his/her bomb could never be misused or kill unintended targets. Even if it didn't bring down the Lawbreaker stunt (depending on how intrinsically corrupting the Laws are in your world), I would probably say he becomes Target 1 should the Wardens find out about it.

I hear swords are pretty sweet at killing folks too. How many Lawbreakers does Luccio have for making those magic weapons that get used on humans (intentionally even :) )?
The one thing I don't get is why make magic bombs? Normal bombs aren't good enough? Maybe the character deserves the stunt/penalty just to learn the lesson that not everything should be magic.
toturi:
I wonder if someone like the Winter Knight or Summer Knight or some Emissary of an Accord signatory used magic to kill someone, would that qualify as breaking the First Law and what would the Wardens do about it?
Can the White Council enforce its Laws on non-members, without running afoul of the faction that person is part of?
For example, if a sorcerer were to become part of Marcone's crew and kills someone with magic, can Harry kill the sorcerer without dragging the White Council into war with the Freeholding Lord? Or do members of other factions essentially have diplomatic immunity to the White Council's Laws?
Deadmanwalking:
They've more-or-less got diplomatic immunity. Mostly. As long as they work for somebody the Council doesn't want to piss off.
That said, they'd still recieve Lawbreaker stunts as normal, since the magic doesn't care who you work for.

See i always thought that only applied to mortal magic. So if the Winter Knight offs someone with magic he is in the clear, the council doesn't like it but it isn't a lawbreaker worthy. Otherwise Lloyd Slate should have the lawbreaker (first) a few times because even if he didn't kill during Summer Knight he had to have killed a few times throughout his life.
