Always unvirtuous?[edit]

The way the article was written, it seemed that use of this spell is always unvirtuous, but I imagine its use doesn't always cause karma to be deducted.--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 18:18, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Actually, it does. Steal an item with the spell, and it's treated as stealing. The only exceptions are plot-related items like the map pieces (as the NPCs giving the items otherwise would have caused problems).--Tribun (talk) 22:45, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Then it sounds like it isn't automatically unvirtuous. Stealing is stealing, but it seem that they (Origin not in-game wizards) designed the spell to be used ethically.--The Ultra-Mind (talk) 19:14, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
