That's one hell of an extra Benefit! :o
benign:
True, what I meant to say is that they can use foxfire to violate said rules without accruing lawbreaker, but not normal mortal magic they might have access to; a subtle distinction, but one which is thematically appropriate (though perhaps overpowered?).
The idea was that, when using foxfire in said ways, they aren't throwing their soul into their workings the way a normal mortal practitioner would. Rather, their sponsors handle the more vicious aspects of the casting, leaving their mortal scion relatively unscathed.
Would it be more acceptable if, every time the caster violated a law, they accrued debt to their sponsor in exchange for not having to take lawbreaker? That way there is still a cost, but a much much easier one to pay than other casters have to deal with.
Or hey, I could scrap it. It's not really central to the power.
devonapple:
Lawbreaking and Sponsored Magic have an oft-debated relationship. I'd be inclined to treat it the way I would Seelie/Unseelie Magic, and make the Lawbreaker stunts irrelevant.
wyvern:
I'd change it to sponsor debt, yeah. With the caveat that a non-mortal caster doesn't need to pay extra sponsor debt for law-of-magic violations, and that - if it's being used in a game where the GM doesn't apply law-of-magic issues to sponsored magic in the first place, then it's a moot point.
As written, I'd rule it to be worth 5 refresh for a game where sponsored magic users are still beholden to the laws of magic.
Sanctaphrax:
I appreciate the contribution. It's well-written and fairly balanced.
Unfortunately, it puts its foot directly into two significant rules disagreements. Which are:
1. Can Evocation inflict mental stress?
and
2. Is Sponsored Magic subject to the Laws?
Do you think that you could rewrite the power to avoid those questions?
