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.

Speciation has not occured, Forge. The so-called "homo superior" can still interbreed with "homo sapiens", therefor we are still human. Picked up at least that much in bio, thank you very much.

And if you're going to pretend that line of "everyone's equal because we're all born human", I may have to rethink this bit that everyone's telling me about you being one of the smart ones.

But we've had this particular discussion before, that seemed to go nowhere.

Repeat after me. "Equality does not mean sameness."

Were we to have a cooking contest, you would lose. In the kitchen, we are not equals.

Were we to both design a machine to chop wood (just go with it), I would lose. In mechanical matters, we are not equal.

If either of us entered a poetry contest against Maya Angelou, she'd wipe the floor with us and giggle. Because in literature, we three are not equal.

Overall however, despite what I can do and what you can do, we are equal. Because sameness is not required for equality.
