A Note About Magic (TCG)

__TOC__
Of course, our own medieval per. iod was not marked by the practice of magic, although superstition was widespread. In the typical fuedal court, magic (either clerical or wizardly) are both looked upon with sceptisism. To the average warrior or bureaucrat, magic is both unimportant and unreliable. The noted cryptic nature of advice acquired from such spells as augury lends credence to their doubts.
In kingdoms where magic is more common, these crafts may be looked upon with awe by those who cannot control them. While knights might recognize the value of a magical or holy weapon, they will consider the use of spells like fireball to be less than honorable tactics. After all, they reason, a dispute should be settled by fair combat with warriors testing their metal and their skills. Duels between wizards are considiered fair, since both sides are using the same weapons. Combating a knight with spells (or cutting down an unarmored wizard) is considered a violation of the Chivalric Code.
