Damaran Law (The King's Law)

Heliogabalus Law, and thus Damaran Law divides crimes into different classes. The judge ruling over the case has a choice of punishments, according to the class of the law involved. While many kingdoms have separate laws on magic use, Damaran Law considers magic as a means of committing a crime. If a mage charms a merchant into giving them something for free, that would be considered theft.
Casting a spell on someone (or someone’s property) without consent (turning the merchant who annoyed you bright pink) is considered a class 2 offense unless the spell warrants a greater crime (determined by the judge).
The King’s Law is as follows, with repeat offenders of these crimes getting stiffer sentences within the fine category or even raised by one category:
