[QUOTE="Madfox, post: 19317, member: 1714"] Magic as a way to determine the truth should never be final evidence just a truth-tests in RL will not lead to a conviction if it is the only evidence. As a matter of fact, even cameras and photos can be etchy as evidence since they are relatively easy to tamper with. It is just as easy to fool magic with equal or lesser magic.
