Magic Laws in Tilendrel

"My experiments, illegal? Well, maybe just a tad..."

Yill Nivin, controversial arcanist.

• Magewrighting, the sale of spellcasting in exchange for material wealth, is unilaterally banned.
• All normal crimes involving violence, theft, destruction of property, or fraud also apply to those committed using magic.
• Use of enchantment spells to make someone act against their will is prohibited. This does not apply when such spells are used in self-defence or to prevent violence or other crime.
• Certain magical items, generally those capable of significant destruction, are banned.
• Creating a planar portal or summoning creatures from another plane is banned without government permission.
• Beings under another's thrall, undead or otherwise, are not considered responsible for their actions.
• Necromancy is strictly regulated, but allowed if the undead are used only for manual labour or a similar purpose.
• Freedom of religion is strictly enforced, and certain exceptions to the above rules are made within temples of the gods.

• Enchantment magic is not banned, largely because elves are immune to it.
• Magic that upsets the balance of nature is disallowed, as well as opening portals to certain planes of existence.
• Normal crimes committed using magic are treated as usual.
• Magewrighting is banned, though this law is often ignored in Tae Dendei and even sometimes in Esidell.

• Forging of magical artefacts must be registered with the Royal Arcanists' Guild.
• Use of enchantment magic to make someone act against their will is not illegal, but the Royal Guard often looks the other way if its users meet with a sticky end.
• Creating false gemstones or valuable materials using illusion spells is punishable by prison time.
• Normal crimes committed using magic are treated as usual.

• Use of arcane magic without government permission is considered heretical, and punishable by death.
• Warlock magic is unilaterally banned, and even warlocks who refrain from casting spells are often burnt at the stake.
• Divine magic used to commit crimes is theoretically illegal, though if the perpetrator is a major priest the crime is often ignored.
• There are no restrictions upon the use of divine magic within temples.
• Atheistic clerics and paladins are prohibited from using magic under threat of prison time, interrogation, or death.

• Enchantment magic is unilaterally banned, to avoid large-scale fraud or damage to the banking system.
• Use of powerful magic in Underven is illegal, since it is believed to anger the spirits.
• Normal crimes committed using magic are treated as usual.
• Killing of magical creatures without government permission is illegal, though sometimes overlooked if in self-defence.

• Normal crimes committed using magic are treated as usual.
• Goods made or partially made using magic must be clearly marked as such.
• Business owners have the right to create antimagic fields in their businesses, and scrolls of dispel magic are available cheaply from the government.

• Like many things in Krin'garr, there are no laws on magic. It is, however considered dishonourable to use magic in single combat, and sometimes also in warfare.

• All magic that could be considered 'evil' (necromancy, inflict wounds, enchantment spells other than calm emotions, etc.) is banned. Some exceptions are made for non-Duergar.
• Normal crimes committed using magic are treated as usual.

• Almost all magic is allowed, and freedom of thought and religion are strictly enforced. The only exceptions are spells which might limit a person's quest for spiritual perfection, such as feeblemind.
