The Koncord’s Tenants of Spellcasting#
- Thou shall not violate the sentient mind and will of another being. For without security of the mind, how can we trust anything?
- Thou shall not cause destruction on mass nor commit atrocities against any living being.
- Thou shall not deny the privacy of another individual when it is responsibly expected.
Mechanically speaking for the game, these restrictions mean that the Koncord will not fund or allow research into many high level enchantment or divination spells, as well as spells or items designed to cause mass destruction or commit crimes against sentient life.
Mages caught researching these topics or using magic of this nature anywhere in the Great Basin are to be arrested and tried for their crimes by a high court in the country of offense. Punishment ranges, but generally starts at life in prison for any spellcaster who willingly use such spells or conducted research into these areas.
While the Koncord attempts to limit access to all of these spells, much of the time high level mages have the tools required to hide themselves from the authorities. As such, illicit spellbooks can be found all around the Great Basin if you ask the right question to the right person.
