The Magical Code of Regulations: A Fantasy Rulebook of Spellcasting Laws, Arcane Regulation, and Magical Compliance

Ever wondered whether a wand must be registered before it can be used in public, or what documentation must be filed before casting a fireball? Curious how many forms stand between you and a legally compliant resurrection, or whether your familiar qualifies as a protected creature or a reportable asset?

The Magical Code of Regulations has answers. Or at least, it has rules.

Presented as the official body of law governing magic, the Code defines who may cast, what may be cast, and under what authority it may all go wrong. It establishes licensing requirements, classifies spells by risk and complexity, regulates rituals, familiars, and magical property, and outlines the penalties for failing to follow any of it properly.

Structured like a real legal code and written with complete sincerity, The Magical Code of Regulations offers a comprehensive system for managing magic. Whether that system actually works is addressed elsewhere in the Code.
