#magic law

What stands out to me... (not really in a surprising sense, but more of a "so they want to phrase it this way" sense)... is the concept of Magic restrictions.

I've stated it before, but powerful Magic can cause Information Flares and disrupt the world's stability... that much is very well known.  And of course the 666 Arcanum is a system that regulates what types of Magic most people can do.

But something that gets lost in translation (in Japanese that is) is the fact that Houriki doesn't just mean "Magic Energy", it also means "Magic LAW", as in it is an established RULE.

Hi-deigokutsuipo... (Forbidden Magic) is also known as a "Forbidden Binding Law".

But when they mean "Law", it's not just something like saying "It's against the law to cast this spell".... it's more like: "This Magic command is limited to this function"... in other words it's a Code system.

Just as webpages have XHTML scripts... the world "runs" on these scripts and that script is the "law" that allows certain actions to function properly.

Does that make sense to you?  I hope I conveyed that properly.

Magic and the very energy it is made of are built from a "script" that defines what it does and also "limits" what it does... pre-written so to speak.  The 12-Steps standard (as Sol once stated).

But the Backyard *has* no limits... bypassing that law was an easy task for someone like Valentine or even the Universal Will... even Izuna had no problem getting past that "script".

I wrote this up yesterday night. It is a quick look at the laws surrounding Magic use there is. If there is more that come to me I’ll make sure to give it a quick update.

Make note that crimes will be named bellow this point. As love potions are illegal for a very specific reason, I’m sure you can figure out one of the crimes that will be mentioned. I just want to put that out there as a warning, because I’m not sure how sensitive people are, okay? Better be safe than sorry.
