Love Potion, Huge Violation of 3rd Law?
Arjan:
Probably much better than something like viagra without the side effects of medicines. There is a huge market for it.

You know I think for something like this it would only be going around the Hollywood, or private society types... A kind of secret potion that you must know someone to get a hold of. Those types of people don't care as long as it works... One of the reasons so many are hooked on drugs. Also a wizard puts a lot of energy into a single potion. If they were selling it they would probably want big bucks, another reason it would be going around the high society groups.

But where does it cross the line? One can argue that making a love potion, though it clearly affects how the drinker thinks and acts, is a gray area because the maker really doesn't go into the drinker's head... But how about Peabody's ink? One can argue it is really no different from a love potion, but Peabody used it to control or affect most of the White Council, including the Senior Council and Wardens, to the point where any decision made by that body in the past ten years had to be revisited.. That is mind control, Luccio was clearly being controlled by Peabody to do things she would never do, from murdering LaFortier to taking Harry as a lover.. If not outright breaking the 3rd Law, it comes very close to it.
