So...if a scroll caster has not got a chance to register yet, and he is assaulted by a group of giant beetles and defends himself with a scroll...his life in now forfiet, because a mage slayer does NOT have to investigate before they kill people?

Uhh...is it just me or does that not sound too....oh nothing....
Curious...What if the Mage Slayer does kill someone who cast some scrolls thinking they were a mage, but they were wrong? I spose my question is primarily directed to...
*cocks head and turns to look over at the closest member of DeVris*
...you.

There are extenuating circumstances for most things in the world, and this situation could be treated as such.
But it should not even get to this point... if a scroll-caster just let's the guild and the mage slayers know, it prevents them from the hassles of all these confusing situations.

From the sound of your question, do you have a Mage Slayer whom you wish to put on trial?
We do not have the luxury to sit and wait. We have a job to do and we do it with the utmost efficiency.
The King has rules in reguards to mages. We enforce said laws. Enough said.

I think the true heart of the discussion is whether or not said scroll casters are legally obligated to register themselves with the mages guild, or whether it is simply in their best interest to do so to prevent from being mistaken as a mage.
Either way, one must admit that both situations give the Mages Guild somewhat of an advantage because they would then know not only the identity of their Mages, but also the identity of those who can scroll cast, which could be facinating information, should they choose to part with it. Whether it is Mages Guild policy to keep this information confidential or not is pretty much irrelevent, as it is merely policy, not Law.
*takes a few more notes in her little book*
As to your comment, Nyrhtak, I can of course answer the question after some legal research, if you cared to pull the correct "strings" in the law library of DeVris. However, I can tell you that the answer will be deduction based on past cases where the question has been settled in court. This question is not addressed specifically in the King's Law.
*looks over her notes to make sure they are complete*
Any takers on that one?

Not from here...
As far as I know it is a legal requirement to register, but that information does not need to be made public. It is something that the Archon can check on or if necessary I can look into.
As for the other, be interesting to hear what past DeVris cases where this has been brought up has gone.

I think it is the best interests of all involved that the list is held confidentially to certain members of the guild and the local mage slayer. This information would not be used for *any* other reasons that determining who is a caster and who is not. This information would not be given to any one outside of said parties.
Also on the issue of the legal matter of the scenario that Nyrhtak mentioned, maybe some research would be in order before any true answers were to come of it...

Yes, last time I scroll casted and you killed me, I was a bit irked and I'd like to bring you up on charges.
*sticks out tongue*
Heh. No, I'm just curious. It just seems to me to be somewhat in question how far a Mage Slayer can and cannot go, and I think those questions should be answered so they never pop up at inconvenient times.
For instance, does a Human who a Mage Slayer states is a Necromancer get a trial if they surrender and ask for one? If not, then what happens if a Mage Slayer goes rogue and starts saying people who aren't Necromancers are Necromancers. What if a Mage Slayer gets charmed by a Necromancer to do so?

*Spiff rasies his hand but asks his question before being called on*
Okay I have a question. You said that a scroll caster should register so that a mage butcher won't kill him for casting. Now for the question. How will some ramdom unnamed mage slayer know if you're a registor scroll caster. Are you saying that all mage hunters are told a new members name and description upon that persons joining. Interesting. If thats not how then how. Maybe your magic heart tells you....
*Spiff laughs at his own joke and return to his drink*

Nyrhtak, that is another unique situation that would require research. For the time being, let's say it is best practice for a scroll caster to notify either the Archon of the local Mage's Guild or the local Mage Slayer of their ability to cast from scrolls.
Spiff, if one was to notify the local Mage Slayer, then they would know what the person looked like. If for some reason they were away from their normal area they reside in, they should contact that local Mage Slayer to notify them. That's why it is best practice to do so, to avoid all these 'situations'.

Necromancers are kill on sight no matter what.
Rogue magi, kill on sight if they refuse to join the Guild of Mages.
That being said.
*Looks at Daerm*
I have a job to do. If the rest of you have any questions, ask the Archon and he will do what he can to discuss this matter.
