( it's about in line with what amami had been thinking, so it's nice to hear it from someone else too. the new rules, they must also serve some kind of purpose, isn't that right? luckily he's been paying closer attention to them since finding that older set, so his recall on them is pretty good. )

A lot of them are about, I guess you'd call them personal boundaries.

"Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked," and "When walking in open territory, bother no one." Well, that one is actually only half of the rule though: "If someone bothers you, ask him to stop; if he doesn't, destroy him." And another important one is about acknowledging the power of magic.
