DFRPG / Magical enchantment and the first law.
« on: April 18, 2010, 07:26:46 PM »
According to the book, using a gust of wind to knock someone off a building is a first law violation.
Wardens swords are enchanted, and can be used to kill without violation of the first law. What doesn't make sense to me is that if a warden's sword is used to remove a magic shield from someone to allow the sword to reach them, they're basically using magic to make a killing possible, which seems to fall under using magic to kill someone.
Someone using an enchanted bullet, or an enchanted gun that guides the bullets. Is that a first law violation? The bullets themselves are doing the killing, like the sword. Remove the magic, and the person would still be dead.
