Michel Foucault Plays D&D. Thoughts While Reading Disciple & Punish:

In discussing premodern (before the last couple centuries) punishment in European legal codes, Foucault discusses various ways the body of the condemned is made to testify to the finding and sentence, a second testament for those who can’t read or hear the official verdict. Among things this leads to making it a repetition or extension of the original crime to conceal it.

So in Fantasyland, where there’s presumed a certain level of healing magic around, the law includes a time span in a judicially imposed wound cannot be cured. It’s like a parole period. Anyone who modified the wound, either cure or to worsen it, before the period is up can be found due the same punishment and also guilty of a separate crime against the sovereignty and righteousness of the magistrate.

Naturally, in evil situations, secretly healing the innocent is a very moral but dangerous thing to do.

From Discipline & Punish & Dungeons & Dragons:

"Next we come to the panopticon, the ideal shape and structure of the prison. Also, interestingly enough, most schools. And also most dungeon complexes, particularly those managed by wizards and beholders"
