Laws of Magic and other supernaturals

(1/4) > >>

Madmacabre:
If I understand correctly, the laws of magic only have jurisdiction on wizards (of any types). What about the other supernatural types. Do they have certain types of laws managing their magic?

Can Changeling, who use the sponsored seelie magic for example, mind control (charm) anyone without raising issues with the white counsel?

luminos:
The White Council polices magic used by all humans, which means they will execute a changeling for breaking the laws.

i believe the distinction is that non human magic user's magic is an extension of who they are.. whereas humans are channeling something that is not an integral part of who and what they are.so when they use certain types of magic it "taints them" making them more inclined to use that kind of magic again, and just a little bit less "human".

That being said, thats only going to protect a fae or whatever from the metaphysical side of the laws. if a warden can punish someone for breaking a law they probably will. weather or not a changeling has protection from the council really depends on how much there fae relatives like them.

Deadmanwalking:
Depends on who you ask. I'd say no, they get Lawbreaker. They're human and using magic in that way twists them like anyone else. Now, if they become fully Fae, that's another matter entirely, but since they're already an NPC by that point, it doesn't help PCs that much.

Ihadris:
Arn't changelings tied to the court that their parents came from? If so the White Council wouldnt be able to do anything because of the Accords.
