Comments thread for "The Laws of Magic: Part 6 of 8"

<< < (3/6) > >>

DrygonDM:
No, anyone that can use magic automatically falls under The Accords, and the Laws of the White Council, which is why they have the Wardens to hunt offenders down.

It was upon this technicality that Harry called the White Court Vampires on, in White Night.

A Sorcerer is simply a person that has more then a "Minor Talent" but is not as powerful as a Wizard. A Wizard has learned to use more then just Sorcery.

A Warlock is anyone that has already fallen to the Dark Side, and used their Magic to harm others. Regardless of their intention for why they used their power. Poor Molly.

Now, it has been shown that a Warlock can be redeemed, like both Harry and Molly.
But a Wizard of "accepted standing" has to vouch for their behaver, and to teach them how to become a full Wizard.

Kristine:
So an untrained Wizard could be a Sorcerer? 

Would the Alphas be considered Sorcerers because they have learned the one spell? or just minor talents?

Bob is an Air Spirit from the NeverNever, residing in a skull. He was never Human.

Kristine was asking about Bob in the TV show who was the Spirit of a Wizard Sealed into a skull (presuably his own) only answers I have to this are.

1. TV reality is slightly diferent then Book or rpg reality.
2. This happened hundreds of years ago laws could have been diferent.
3. Could have been the Blackstaff that did it. (Every time something illegal happened it was the black staff.   Yah that's it.)

Slightly?  TV canon is VERY different from the book reality, and the RPG is solidly based in the bookverse.  You'll have to do some creative interpretation to reconcile the TV canon with the RPG guide. :D

Yeah, I figured that, I just like the Bob from the show.  Although I don't remember anything official on who put Bob in the skull - I suppose the White Council could have handed him over to someone nasty enough to do that.  In the books they considered handing over Harry to the Red Court after all... Hmmm Harry would have made a hell of a red vampire if being one strips away all your ethics...
