[QUOTE="Loren Pechtel, post: 6716786, member: 4679"] Generally, it is unacceptable to teleport (or other such magic) into a country or city without prior permission. Those who show they are good guys, not bad guys will have no problem getting this permission--anyone who has kept their nose clean to the point of being able to use such magic is unlikely to change their spots. (Teleporting in without permission would be considered the same as entering a modern country and bypassing the immigration controls.) Many of the most advanced places impose a tax on casters living there--they owe the city one day in seven of spellcasting, or they can pay someone to provide such casting (note that this option is pretty expensive!) You're told what's needed, the city provides any components you might need and never asks for spells which will harm you or spells you don't know. With long term residents they will sometimes provide training in desired spells. Note that this is based on actual presence, not merely having a house. A wizard who spends a month out adventuring and then comes back for a week of R&R owes the city only one day worth of casting even though he owned a house there. Such cities are easy to identify due to the high level of life-improvement magic that has been used. Wall-of-stone streets are common, continual light streetlights are widespread, etc. The dead have no rights in legal agreements other than those that specifically address death for a period of time (an agreement may specify that it persists through <x> years of death) but neither are agreements cancelled by death. To the extent nobody else is harmed things are unwound upon being restored to life. Thus if someone dies his widow is free to remarry but if he's brought back before she does they are then still married. His property that became hers is restored to him, but if it was otherwise transferred (even in use) he doesn't get it back as that would mean taking it from the third party. (Thus he owns a house that he and his wife live in. He dies, she remarries and her new husband moves into the house--for him to reclaim the house would throw him out and thus it doesn't happen, the house remains hers.) [/QUOTE]
