Honestly i see zero reason why killing a monster with magic is different then killing a human monster with magic

What does this mean for the Lawbreaker abilities? I think it means that if you can get away with not being a human practitioner (say a white court vamp who picks up thaumaturgy and evocation), you probably wont get Lawbreakers for mucking about with Necromancy, or killing with Magic.
Hmm, the way I see it, is White Court Vamps are already mucking with the laws of magic when they use their instill emotion ability, thats Psychometry, and the fact that you can addict humans to it means you can make thralls with it. A White Court Virgin would probably get a Lawbreaker for killing with magic, but a White Court Vamp already lost his/her humanity when they had their first Killing Feed.
I would (er, will) divore it from the setting,
If the PC uses the Evocation or Thaumaturgic (or the lesser versions [inkluding Sponsored Magic]) Powers and they violate the Laws of Magic they get the Lawbreaker Power.
If they use other Supernatural Powers like Incite Emotion they dont get the Lawbreaker Power.
Its not an In-Game explanation, but those have to much wiggle room (for my taste).
Hmm, oh. Did'nt read that.
I suppose the first law (thats the one against killing, right?) could be brocken by many of the supernatural powers.
The Laws only apply to the use of Human magic. To quote the text "whenever you make use of true black magic—using your talent in spellcraft in a way that breaks one of the Laws—you change yourself, darkening your soul." "Laws aren’t a legal entity at all; they’re a set of magical principles that, when broken, lead to a fundamental change in the nature of the person who broke them." YS232 Supernatural power are already part of the nature of who you are and so do not lead to the same consequences.
