I made it, I believe, quite clear that Amanda was forbidden to use her healing magics save at great need, for the sake of her health. Great magic puts a great strain on her body, and could do permanent damage. Apparently, however, I failed to emphasize this enough.

Therefore, I will make myself very clear indeed. Nobody, NOBODY, is to ask Amanda to perform any act of magic for them, for any reason whatsoever. Not a finding spell, not a charm, not the levitation of a pencil. Since clearly concern for her health is not a sufficient deterrent, perhaps the prospect of personal punishment will do the job.

This subject is not open to debate. Nobody is to take this up with Amanda, or in any way make her feel guilty for not being available to be taken advantage of. I trust that this is sufficiently clear to everyone.

Perhaps it is the same as a sprain, when any use until the original injury is fully healed runs the risk of greater damage. Or perhaps it is something different; magic does not always conform to standard logic. Perhaps it is even something about Amanda herself, not merely the mechanics of her power. I do not know, and I am too ignorant of the particulars to speculate; but unless it becomes clear that Amanda is taking harm from their policies, in my judgment they have more than earned the benefit of whatever doubt may exist.

Why can't everyone be as calm and reasonable as you?

To a degree, I think we're going to have to agree to disagree. But you've brought a lot of things to light; made me think.

Thank you.

A hazard of too much philosophy at an early age, perhaps? :) I hope your contemplation goes well for you, and if you wish to speak more later, I am difficult to miss.
