This struck me as not quite right, so I looked it up. It's an interesting point. She kills no one. She simply presents an opportunity for people to see what they fear they might see. The victims killed each other.
It's a little spooky ethically speaking. Think going into a grocery store and handing the cashier typing paper that is made to look like money. Immoral, but no laws broken.

Which brings up the point: Why the heck was she starving? lack of imagination?
I say morriswalters is a villian in the making. FBI watchers, please take note and black bag him.

However her first victims, her friends that she thought she was helping were seriously harmed by her entering their minds and trying to change their perception of things.. Yeah, the Law was broken, one isn't allowed to enter the mind of another... It is so strict that most members of the White Council have only the merest and ineffective defenses against an attack on their minds, they fear it that much... Molly and Harry were in violation to some degree by practicing on each other.

No they were not. They gave each other permission, they were invited. It was not an invasion. The whole word invade becomes meaningless if every entering is an invasion and a lot of obviously legal things become impossible like the gatekeeper healing people in turncoat.

Yes, but remember when Harry would have died from his first encounter with the Corpsetaker but for Gard's intervention? The reason he almost died was because of lack of proper training against mental attacks.. The reason for his lack of training weren't the usual ones, i.e. Harry's own laziness or lack of exposure to it because of Justin, but because the Council feared and prohibited any form of this magical training beyond the minimal defensive type. So the Council prohibited it even if permission from the two parties was granted.. To their credit Harry and Molly both thought this was stupid and trained each other, however they did it in secret because it would have gotten them into a lot of trouble... Enemies on the Council may even have gone so far as to declare it an infraction of the Law.
