"By Invitation Only" - 2nd, 3rd and 4th law loopholes?

<< < (3/5) > >>

KOFFEYKID:
The magical mechano hand is totally doable I think, all it needs to do is read the character's mind for how he wants to move it, or maybe he works up a spell that transmits the thoughts of how he wants to move his hand to the mecha hand.

Falar:
Not even that, really. It would see his tendons and stuff in his arm and be able to read off that, I think.

Moriden:

is it possible? absolutyly yes, (click to show/hide)Mab did it at least once can you or anyone you can find do it? thats the question. and even if you find someone willing, how did they learn the techniques and get the practice? biomancy is one of those "good guys dont do this" things.

exploding_brain:
Yeah, but why is biomancy one of those "good guys don't do this" things?

Is it bad because the law forbids it, or does the law forbid it because it's bad?

As I understand it, the laws of the White Council aren't responsible for putting the stain on the soul (Lawbreaker Power).  The White Council wrote the Laws to follow the observed metaphysics of the Dresdenverse.  And the Law's aren't fully accurate, which is why it is possible, in some gray area cases, to break a Law without acquiring the stain, and maybe vise-verse as well.

Its bad because to become good enough at it not to horribly mutilate the people you use it on you need to .. horribly mutilate a lot of people. or self experiment and that's just not healthy.

Same way that some of our modern medical tech came from the research done by nazi doctors. they did horrible inhuman Experiments, some of the knowledge gained is now extremely useful but that dose not mitigate the damage that was done first. Its even worse with biomancy because theirs no dedicated body of lore , so you cant have one or two people go out and stain there soul to bring back the beneficial knowledge to others. each person has to do the learning process completely from scratch.
