Laws of Magic

While magic can do a variety of things there are a few fundamental, natural laws that limit what can be done.

1. Magic may never be used to control the mind of a sapient being. It can influence the mind through illusion or instilling of emotion (eg fear) but a sapient's conscious choice is always their own.
2. Magic cannot form matter from nothing. It can alter matter and change it's form, but not create.
3. Magic cannot restore the dead to life. Once a being dies and their soul leaves this realm to join the Maker, no spell can restore them to life.
4. Any elemental force expelled by magic (eg fire) becomes the real thing. Thus magical fire can be defeated the same as normally created fire, magically created lightning bolts can be caught by lightning rods etc. This also means magical defence must take these physical rules into account
5. All magic comes with a cost and requires 'fuel'. That fuel is Anima, if there is not enough available the spell will suck anima from the caster's own life force potentially weakening or killing them.
