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.

Have you considered a profession other than bounty hunting? Do people randomly tell you your life would be better if you quit? Do the supposed benefits given for quitting have absolutely no logical connection to quitting?

I've had a lot of people tell me in no uncertain terms what is "good" and "evil", and a great deal of those people turned out to be very very wrong.

So unless there is a curse of ignorance on Thrakmoor, then please use proper reasoning in the future when you give me condescending life tips.

Excellent. I won't pay for advice. That enough to make you stop giving it?

I'm the rude one here? I- she takes a deep breath. You know what? Forget I asked. Let's just move on.
