    I'd like to see a Father-child moment where Ed Verres gets a chance to give Tedd a rare moment of praise and appreciation.

    Assuming, of course, he still has that ability post change of magic. Odd are he will, but right now that is assuming facts not in evidence. Which brings us to "what is Tedd's first action after the change going to be"? I've got 20 $Q that says he calls all of the magic using members of the main 8 together and tells them how to do magic again.

    I don't think she was turning into formless blob when she was younger. Like, less than two hundreds. That doesn't sound like something will of magic will bother telling her ... I don't think the Will of Magic has any say in Immortal Law. Immortal Law is a legal system, which if I remember correctly was chosen by the Immortals themselves long ago (at any rate, that's how I've always interpreted it). The Will of Magic however has control over and is preparing to change the mechanics of the mortal magic system, and that's what Tedd's been called in to help with. So I don't think Tedd's opinion on Immoral Law matters at the moment. Also this. Magic can't influence immortal law, AND might be unable to influence immortals themselves, or at least limited in what it can do with them. This will be mostly about mortals, with the higher magic resistance being most likely option. Because he hopes for INDIRECT influence. Something like magic changing in way which would force immortals to revisit their laws. (Also, he might not act exactly rationally about it.) This I think will be the main cause for Voltaire's plan failing. Pandora filled Tedd in on her first purpose as a seer, but also let her know what else she could do as a Wandmaker, letting her know that she was a powerful wizard in her own way. Then Pandora helped Tedd work through some of her issues with regards to her parents by explaining how a parent feels in trying to protect her son in a world with magic. Tedd also reaffirmed that he had guidance, support and love from his friends, especially Elliot. And maybe most importantly, Pandora in parental role had no problem with her gender-fluidity. There was whole page about it and look at how big effect it had on Tedd. As Tuscahoma mentioned, villains could still use magic to create weapons or otherwise affect inanimate objects in ways that will adversely impact people. Guns still work on magic users, so someone with mundane weapons could still be a threat (in fact, with the gun wielder having greater magic resistance than now, people with non-magical weapons who know how to use them will actually be at an advantage against someone who can only cast spells). And not all villains cause trouble that can be fought physically (for instance, what if someone with the legal power to do so wanted to confiscate the TFG, or force some of the main 8 to join a covert fighting force against their will?). It's also important to remember that the Immortals will not be affected by the magic change (or at least I'm fairly certain that's the case), so Voltaire could still be a threat for some time. Finally, it's been established that magic users continue to be able to use their own magic system when they travel to another world, so there could still be a magical threat from opponents from other worlds (such as Magus or Lord Tedd and company). And considering EGS doesn't require such high amount of villains and we already have Voltaire and Lord Tedd on list, I don't think the limiting of writing would be that big issue. I still think that making magic opt-in would be too much. Yes. Magic wants drama, so it's unlikely to generate rules which results in most villains being rule-lawyers. (Also, I don't think non-magic users watching is what pisses magic so much. It's the fact they will then try to research magic which matter.)

    Why would Voltaire go through the trouble of conditioning Tedd against the WoM if he wasn't counting on Tedd doing something that would have an impact on Immortals?
