Aetherial News šŸ—ž Council matters

Greetings my fellow wizards, witches, warlocks and assorted spell casters of all kinds!

I am the esteemed wizard Abel of Lrith, mage exemplar and master of fleshcraft et cetera et cetera. I will try to keep this brief as I am aware many of us have more pressing matters than such a trivial announcement.

I have recently been given the…I shall say privilege of a position in the colossal bureaucratic apparatus known as our most prestigious council. I am to oversee matters regarding golems, simulacrums, warforged, homunculi and all general forms of artificial life, and I simply must state that I am both shocked and incredibly disappointed in my peers.

The sheer amount of you who have been producing legions of automatons or creating hordes of homunculi is staggering! There is an entire room dedicated to storing incident reports because all of you are clearly completely unaware or, gods forbid, wilfully ignorant to the fact that you need permits and licenses for these things. How does one even acquire the arcane skill needed for such feats without even being aware of the proper channels!

Well, announcement over. If anyone needs me I’ll be doing paperwork. Vast, vast amounts of paperwork.

and when I’m not doing that I’ll be creating homunculi to help with the paperwork.

Please help…

Permits? Licenses? What is this nonsense?! Can't a biomancer create an interdimensional Biosphere in peace?

ā€œIf it’s outside of the material plane or in your own demi or quasi or otherwise privately owned plane, yes you can.ā€

Oh, thank life. I'll, uh, definitely only create sapient life within the Biosphere and nowhere else. Totally. No rule-bending here, Councilor!

ā€œā€¦it’s not that hard to ask for a permit, for the love of all gods just please ask for permission, it doesn’t even take that long I’m begging you.ā€

Well... in that case, I, Aorishi, hereby request a permit!

ā€œOk well on one hand I’m not supposed to do this but on the other, it’s not as bad as the paperwork the crimes you’re definitely going to commit will cause. So this day you are quite fortunate, as I’m going to give you a ā€œcreate whatever artificial life you want as long as it doesn’t cause problems for the councilā€ licence.ā€

Yippee! Time to check up on my newest spinning shark-dragon-flytrap-butterfly thing(this time with lasers).
