Have you thought through the consequences of having magic in your world? What's the most unexpected realisation you've had about how things will work differently?

I have a character who solves murders like that cleric does.
I mean, she's a necromancer, not a cleric, but still.
It's hard for murderers to escape justice when a necromancer raises their victims testify against them in court.
Maybe that's why necromancers are often burned at the stake.

@golgaloth Whenever I play a fantasy TTRPG, I think of the ways magic could be deployed at a civic/industrial scale: Continual light as street lamps on every city corner; Golems and elementals powering heavy industry; Zone of truth in all city watch jails and courtrooms.

@davidtheeviloverlord @golgaloth Eh, cleric or necromancer is largely just a matter of perspective…

One of the jokes in that world is that a necromancer is just a healer who went too far.

@golgaloth Arcanum has a murder victim who lies in order to falsely accuse an innocent.

@golgaloth i remember in criminal law class someone quipping that "murder is just assault with one less witness"... -
@golgaloth i remember in criminal law class someone quipping that "murder is just assault with one less witness"...@golgaloth ...and thinking about this i think now we have one *more* witness (the resurrecting cleric who may be cross-examined about their methods and known side effects they might have on a previously deceased's memory)

@golgaloth Dead guy: "I don't know, he had covered his face."
Or "I don't know. Some guy with a knife I had never seen before."
Or "I don't know. I felt sick when I came home and died two hours later."
Or "The last thing I remember is getting pushed from behind."
Talking with the dead can help, but in most cases it won't identify the attacker.
