Law Talk
Cadd:
On that topic: Do any law get a pass from a willing target? I'd think the Third Law would actually be possibly to work around, with informed consent, as that wouldn't be "invading", but the others can't really be worked around, can they?
Tedronai:
Yeah, the 3rd Law is the only one that might reasonably be bypassed by 'consent' without some other finagling.
Some other Laws might be bypassed by not violating them directly yourself and instead creating a situation that allows the prospective subject to cause those effects to themselves (a potential canon example that was brought up recently on these boards might be a stationary wall of fire that someone chooses to step into, resulting in their prompt fiery death). This is a contentious area of, at best, 'grey' magic.

I'm not sure any of the laws count for/against non humans

The Wardens may enforce as they will, but that interpretation on the cosmic truth of the 7th Law leads only to absurdity.

I agree but I think the idea was the more knowledge about them in the world, the easier it is for them to get into our world. So nobody should learn it because then more outsiders would get in.

Next character idea:
irredeemable warlock makes a habit of sneaking into White Court functions, screams out the name of powerful outsiders at the top of his lungs, uses Outsider sponsored magic to facilitate his escape, then laughs as the Wardens are forced to execute each other for their knowledge
Lavecki121:
I assume you meant white council? If so that would be hilarious. You should totally do this :P
EDIT: Better yet make him a mental mancer and have him implant all his knowledge on his victems.
