Not a gray area at all, it could have cost them both their heads... Highlighted by Morgan's dying words to Harry about Molly...
page 394 Turn Coat
A couple of things going on, he is telling Harry in his own way that he was sorry for being such a hard ass with him. He is telling him that he has hope that it will work out for Molly, that basically she is a good person.. However it doesn't change the fact that if he had turned her in, she would have lost her head, and along with it Harry would have lost his head. She did break the Law of Magic, and would have paid the price if Morgan had turned her in.

I know about turn coat but Harry and Morgan both have their reasons to interpret the laws as strict as possible, Luccio's silence in proven guilty still indicates that other interpretations are possible. No quotation from Turn Coat can change that.
And Molly was still under the doom so any act that looked a little bit gray could be dangerous for her especially if Harry stopped supporting her.

Yes. But I was responding to the comment that it wanted to corrupt the user. The part about it having its own sentience is unrelated to the fact that Jim has said it protects from corruption, not that it causes it.
Wizard Sibelis:
--- Quote ---The Council would definitely not give the power to kill with magic to someone who holds a tool that makes them want to kill more people with magic.

Conjecture.... and slightly oxymoronic lol.

Luccio had already been brain raped by Peabody and under the influence, which influenced her involvement with Harry. She may not have even been aware at the time that Molly entered her brain that she had because of what already had been done to her, her involvement with Harry may also have been a factor. Or because the damage done to her by Peabody was severe, she may not remember it.. There is also the desire for a cover up on the whole matter, so Molly may have dodged a bullet in this case.. However in no way is going into another's mind without permission a gray area, it is breaking the Laws of Magic pure and simple...

The laws are a fundamental part of Luccio's soul, she could not use magic to kill LaFortier even when completely under Peabodies control. Besides of she was not enthralled to such an extend that she could not function as captain of the wardens.
And in dead beat she did react differently to Sue than Morgan did.
Having a quick look to see if someone is tampered with may very well be a gray area.
Jim made it deliberately murky just to get more tension
Even more murky if you read Morgan's last words:
--- Quote ---“I didn’t tell anyone about Molly. What she tried to do to Ana. I . . . I didn’t tell.”
--- End quote ---
Trying is not breaking the law. You only break the law if you succeed. Morgan's word is just not enough to confirm law breaking.
