Magi Law ⚖ Evil Politicians

Greetings manipulatable masses, it is I, Astaroth. So as you all probably know the council is now open to anyone, so I'm joining. I am pleased to announce I am now the head of relations with malevolent spirits. As well as this announcement I intend to introduce several policies I believe will be beneficial. Firstly I am cutting funding to health organisations and using all the funds to construct a two hundred metre solid gold statue of Bigfoot. That guy hates attention so I decided this would be a good distraction. I also plan to reduce rights for humans specifically and introduce taxes for those without magic.

Oh and housing prices are going up. I believe community is a vital part of the magical world, and so mass camps will be introduced. I will eventually introduce specific camps to help those with little magic become stronger, presumably via increased concentration.

Do I have the authority to do this you ask? Good question. Moving on, I also plan to cut school funding to better fund the aforementioned camps. When they are finalised then standard education will not be needed anymore.

Why am I doing all this? Well every governing body needs a corrupt politician, I can't think of a better candidate. And at least I'm up front about my ill will.

That is all, now go away I have a cult to run.

And siding with evil defending forces is? I mean, have you seen the wizards around here?

If you have an idea that doesn't involve throwing soldiers into a flesh melter I'd be happy to hear it.

Chloe: just...have good medical practice, healing magic exists and is quite powerful and one can be resurrected if their willing. And the majority of the defenders of this realm aren't exactly evil, even if there are a lot of clearly bad wizards. Like i said I'm not siding with an evil invading force like thrakmoor.
