Council of the Wise is a counterrevolutionary laughingstock, and their revisionist spellbooks will rightly rot in the Caverns of Qom. On the other hand, we, the Wise Council, are militant vegans and refuse to transmogrify animals without their explicit consent.
This is not in reference to the post (I can't read frog), just putting the information out there.
Okay vegan wizards who refuse to turn people in to animals is an idea with some legs and I'm going to ponder how you could work that in to a story. Cause like it could be a joke, but it could legit be an ethics of magic thing too. Like after you've turned someone in to a frog for crimes, they're not a frog and cannot understand complex ideas like mortgage default swaps. So is the punishment appropriate? Or are you just tormenting a frog? And if you turn the frog back in to a person, does the frog really deserve to be saddled with paying rent and Lin-Manuel Miranda musicals?
