Something can be OK under the Seven Laws and still forbidden by the Council as a specific matter. Seven Laws or not, I suspect that if a dark Wizard started stealing power from Council Wizards, the Wardens would soon be after him.

I figure if it's been done, it's been done for personal gain and kept secret. Plus, if you are what you eat, who'd wanna eat crazy?(pretty sure scarecrow ate some crazy from Molly lol)
Erk, I just had a horrible thought about all those untrained practitioners who've been disappearing and what might be happening to them all. You know, besides mental enslavement.

Evidence of this is the LaFortier case. He wasn't killed with magic, yet the Council held a trial and claimed jurisdiction over the murder.
Why not other things?

He was killed at HQ in Edinburg. Their jurisdiction.

I don't think they'd have cared if they thought Morgan (or any other Council member) murdered LFortier in Grand Central Station, the Kremlin, or FBI Headquarters. I'm pretty darned sure that the Council would insist on taking over the case. :lol:
