Maxwell (talk) The wording in this study seems focused on the case of the cleric, who understands theological law. Is that also supposed to be the case for mages and illusionists, or would they instead be familiar with the law of the land -- or are there, perhaps, fewer differences than I am imagining, in post-Enlightenment, separated-church-and-state[1] America?

Tao alexis (talk) Name a law code between 550 and 1650 that is not fundamentally religious in structure. Justinian's code can be interpreted as libertarianism, but would anyone in the 17th century not have seen it as "god's law"? The distinction we make between church and state didn't exist until the revolutionaries invented it out of thin air (and have since failed to firmly establish a dividing line).
