"Official" Perspective on Lawbreaking
Lavecki121:
Thats an interesting way to think about it. Its not the intent its the result of the intent...hmmm
Mrmdubois:
Makes sense to me.

1: You cast a fire evocation that burns a human to death.
Lawbreaker and WC coming to kill you.
2: You tie your enemy to a wooden pillar, pile wood all around him, and then light the fire with a fire evocation.
Lawbreaker and WC coming to kill you.
3: You tie your enemy to a wooden pillar, pile wood all around him, and then light the fire with a lighter that has been conjured.
No Lawbreaker. WC may gnash its teeth, but probably won't kill you.
4: You tie your enemy to a wooden pillar, pile wood all around him, and then light the fire with a torch that has been lit with a fire evocation.
Same as 3.
5: You tie your enemy to a wooden pillar, pile wood all around him, and then light the fire with a torch that has been previously lit with a fire evocation for the purpose of providing illumination.
Same as 4.
6: You use a fire evocation to incinerate a building that you honestly believe to be empty.
Lawbreaker. Harry escapes this one because I subscribe to "they were already dead in the Velvet Room. If the WC finds out, choppy choppy stab stab.
7: You tie your enemy to a wooden pillar, pile wood all around him, and then light the fire with a regular lighter.
Nope.

My metric for Lawbreaker First is "was the last act of will a use of Power that killed?"

Hello there,
We have had a pretty interesting discussion the other day, due to an ingame happening.
What happens if a kid, lets say around 12 years old accidentally kills somebody with their emerging magic?
Especially the questions is, how does the White Council handle this? No matter how hardcore the Wardens are, I have a hard time picturing them killing kids...
cheers

Hard-line old-school warden gets the case? A ten minute 'investigation, 5 minute 'trial', and a quick death.
Ramirez-era or similar warden gets the case? A much longer investigation, an actual trial, and the potential for rehabilitation.
