Message: <blockquote data-quote="theridion" data-source="post: 53748" data-attributes="member: 2763">it is correct that wizards are not limited to their alignment when casting spells.  there really aren't any truely evil spells.  i mean, blowing someone up with a fireball or draining their strength really are about the same.  the only question comes into play when you want to do something like raise the dead.  the undead themselves aren't evil, they are just animated bones(like animated rocks for a golem or constructs of a sort), but it is usually looked upon socially as an evil thing, and being found raising or hanging out with undead probably will get you in trouble, if not killed by the local authorities.  again, if you use a fireball to kill innocent villagers, well, you're evil.  if you use it to stop some bandits from raiding those villagers, well, it wasn't an evil use <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  i find it hard to asses most wizards as Lawful, as the act of training to kill things with more and more efficiency really isn't a lawful thing.. especially when you get the jump on them, and there are "hold spell" types of alternatives to destroying life in large quantities.</blockquote>
