Law Talk
Mrmdubois:
That book was for maintaining a fae presence in our reality, not "Outsiders for Dummies."
Lavecki121:
Right. That was my point. If a book like that existed for outsiders it would have the same effect. IMO.
Troy:
I have a question: Does the Law apply to every mortal practitioner? I know it applies to the White Council. Do they consider their jurisdiction to include every human being that practicing magic in any way, shape, or form? So, you have a warlock -- say, a psychomancer -- completely unaware of the White Council. One day a Warden shows up on his doorstep and decapitates him. Is that kosher? Do they get a trial? An education? Doom of Damocles? A reprieve because of their ignorance?
What about people that aren't quite human but can do magic? Obviously if someone falls under the auspices of the Fae or the Courts of Vampires, they consider that their problem. But what about some a changeling or some other Scion that chooses to remain human or something, but they are a spellcaster. Do they fall under the White Council's jurisdiction? Are they "mortal practitioners?"
Lavecki121:
Short answer: Yes; Yes; Yes; No; No; No; No; Yes; Yes
The last two are IMO and there may be some debate on that. The difference I see is that in your example the changling made a choice to stay human so thats why I went with yes.
Tedronai:
If a Changeling who is also a Practitioner Chooses to be Human, then there is no longer any doubt as to jurisdiction, and the Wardens may feel quite free to chop away.
A Changeling, by definition, has not Chosen to be Human. They have, at most, chosen to remain a half-kind.
Note the capitalization, there. It's important.
