Proxies & Responsibilities
All crimes carried out through a proxy or dependant is considered as though the guardian or master were in full guilt. A proxy or dependant may include, but would not be limited to, a familiar of a mage, a pet-animal, a magical presence bound to a master, or a young child. For instance, a mage who commits crimes through a familiar is held fully accountable for the familiar's actions, and a spellcaster who bewitches the mind of another to carry out a crime is culpable of all guilt thereof. In cases where a proxy or dependant commits wrongdoing without equal intent on the part of the guardian or master, the aforementioned guardian or master is guilty criminal negligence. Criminal negligence is punishable by fines and prison sentences equal to or less than the crime allowed happening through negligence.
