[SECOND] [BYLAW REVISION] Addition to Character Bylaws 10.m.v

I, Samantha Swanson, CM of Chicago Dark Requiem, hereby propose the following Bylaw Changes:

Addition to Character Bylaws 10.m.v

---------------------

Bylaws Before:

---------------------

10. Controlled Items

    13. Vampire Controlled Items

        5. Merits and Flaws

           1. Craft Anarch Poisons for Non Anarchs - PC: Disallowed - NPC: Disallowed - Coordinator: Anarch

           2. Invoke Anarch Curses for Anarchs - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Anarch

           3. Invoke Anarch Curses for Non Anarchs - PC: Disallowed - NPC: Disallowed - Coordinator: Anarch

---------------------
Bylaws After:

---------------------

10. Controlled Items

    13. Vampire Controlled Items

        5. Merits and Flaws

           59. Craft Anarch Poisons for Non Anarchs - PC: Disallowed - NPC: Disallowed - Coordinator: Anarch

           60. Invoke Anarch Curses for Anarchs - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Anarch

           61. Invoke Anarch Curses for Non Anarchs - PC: Disallowed - NPC: Disallowed - Coordinator: Anarch

           62. Incantations - PC Coordinator Approval - NPC - Unregulated - Coordinator: Varies

               1. For vampire characters the coordinator In charge of this merit will default to their sect coordinator.  Should the player character making the request not fall under a sect, it will instead default to their clan coordinator.

               2. Mortals and semi supernatural character seeking this merit will require mage coordinator approval

---------------------

Reasoning:

---------------------

We already have bylaws in place to limit Hedge Magic and other magics. Incantation is yet another means to ‘get magic’ and it is my firm belief that this needs to be as regulated as Hedge Magic as it has an equal potential for abuse as Hedge Magic. I personally have seen more than a few Incantations that are more powerful than standard Blood Magic. This is something that needs oversight as it is appearing to have become the new end run around the bylaws regarding Custom Content, Blood Magic and Hedge Magic.

---------------------

Legacy:

---------------------

None, all existing Incantations need to be brought forward and approved to remain in play.
