Magic Regulation Act

In 2A 1180, Emperor Renthid established the Magic Regulation Act, which was a set of laws related to magic users within the Renthid Empire. These laws were in response to Alister Stryx conducting research into lichdom, which after going through the necromantic rituals to become a lich, he went mad, created an undead army, then attacked villages and towns in the Renthid Empire. Additionally, the emperor established the Eighth Order, which overlooked magical activities and enforced the Magic Regulation Act from their towers within Kadar. As of 2A 1398, the Eighth Order has relaxed the enforcement of these laws; however, people are still required to register themselves under the Archive of Mages, however, unless there is a large increase of magical capability, which is rare, the mages don't need to continually report to the Eighth Order.

Laws

 * 1) Those with magical capabilities were forced to register their names and magical capabilities in the Archive of Mages. (Breaking of this law would result in immediate registration of the person, then prison of up to 5 years).
 * 2) In order to do any research or magical rituals, magic users were required to send a request to the Eighth Order.  (Breaking this law would result in confiscation of all magical material, jail time up to 1 year, and magical parole for 3 years after).
 * 3) If a person found a magical item or witnessed an unexplained magical effect, they would need to report it to either their local Golden Guards or the Eighth Order for further action. (Breaking this law, depending on the severity of the magical effect or magic item, would result in 1 week to 3 years in prison).
 * 4) Practicers of Necromancy were required to register these activities with the Eighth Order, who would then send representatives every 3 months to check-in. (Breaking this results in confiscation of magical materials, and prison of up to 10 years).
