Courlandic Arcane Decree

Courlandic Arcane Decree

 

From this day forth, magic can not be practiced within Courlandic lands without the documentation required to do so in form of licensing, which will be overseen, requested, approved, and distributed by the Court Mage of Courland, Glacio Nereus. This is to first and foremost, prevent the possible spread of dark arts and practices throughout the lands, and second to curb the ever expanding community of mages to ensure only the proper hands hold such abilities.

Defining “Magic”

 

Magic is an incredibly broad term, so to include what is considered such is outlined below.

 

Creating something out of nothing, including but not limited to evocations and conjuration.

Calling upon deities for any purpose that brings unnatural power to the user, such as Clericism, Shamanism, or Druidism.

Altering one’s person by one means or another, be it disguising one’s appearance with illusion, Ice Witch abilities, or Faceless Abomination abilities.

Creating non-Descendant creatures, including but not limited to golems, atronachs, homunculi, et cetera.

Magically imbued objects, be it creating, using, or distributing such.

Dwarvern-based Runic objects fall under these guidelines as well.

Anything that calls upon a dark, evil, or unnatural source, such as necromancy or soul puppetry.

Laws Pertaining to Magic:

 

Using magic without a license is illegal, and will be punished harshly.

Injuring or killing citizens or noncitizens is strictly prohibited, unless done in self defence.

Dark Arts are prohibited in the nation.

Deities cannot be called upon unless given express permission by a local religious leader.

Magically enchanted, imbued, or forged objects and artifacts must be approved by the Court Mage.

Invading minds is illegal, be it through mental magic or illusion, or another way.

Creating, protecting, or owning non-descendant beings such as golems or atronachs is prohibited, unless granted permission by the Court Mage.

Non-natural creatures, such as liches, plantfolk, wraiths, homunculi, and other beings are prohibited from being in Courland, unless given extremely special exemption from such at acceptance of both the Court Mage and the King, alongside any other important figures either party so requests.

Harboring creatures or rogue magi is illegal, and will be dealt with to three fourths the penalty as being one would be.

Manipulating souls is prohibited in the city, including barring one’s magical abilities, cursing one, or forcibly altering one. Exemption can be requested in certain cases from the Court Mage.

Any attempts to spread heretical faiths will be dealt with harshly, including Druidism, Xanism, Tahariaeism, et cetera.

The beings known as “Archons” are permitted in the city, although they can not enter their non-corporeal form unless granted permission and licensing to do such.

 

Enforcement of these laws and regulations will be done by the regular guard force and military of Courland, alongside a more elite, specialized force to deal with more troublesome issues, be it a powerful rogue magi, repeat offender, or similar.

Xiahou, a Hou-Zi reads this. 

"Does Xiahou count as non-natural creature?" He asked no one in particular. 

"Xiahou does not think he does..." 

He shrugs and then 'hmphs!' in triumph. 

"Xiahou like have magic look after. Magic bad. Very bad." He nodded.
