Laws of Magic

The 'Laws of Magic' is a pamphlet found very commonly where magi gather in numbers. It is customary for teachers to give the pamphlet to new apprentices when they first start their training in Dalaran. It is not a very large pamphlet and is divided into four parts.

Magic is Powerful
Magic in Azeroth is the difference between a slave and a master, a foot soldier and a king. Few races and nations can operate without powerful mages and warlocks. The use of arcane magic is growing; historically, each time this has happened before, a great disaster shortly follows. However, even though the history of the arcane is well known, mages and thier patrons invariably come to the same self-serving conclusion: It woun't happen to them.

Magic is Corrupting
Magic corrupts the soul; if the humblest person in Azeroth became a practitioner of the arcane, by the time the practitioner reached the higher levels in their art, all traces of her humble roots would be lost. Magic breeds pride and arrogance. Magic corrupts the body; it ages the caster before their time and hastens the blight that the world inflicts on things fair and beautiful. Those who claim that only Necromancy and Fel Magic have a corrupting influence are fooling themselves.

Magic is an Addiction
When one feels the power of an arcane spell coursing through one's body as it's being cast, resisting the urge to cast it again is difficult. Frequent use leads to a desire for more and, eventually to a desire for the evil fel energy.

Magic Attracts the Twisting Nether Like Flies to Honey
The Burning Legion has invaded Azeroth three times, drawn by the power of the Well of Eternity and those who employ it. Magic is a literal gateway drug that allows dark beings, to bring evil influences to the world. Those who employ arcane magic must deal with demons and other servants of the Twisting Nether.
