Wizard's Second Rule

Ok, second rule.

The Wizard's Second Rule is... The greatest harm can result from the best of intentions.

It sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. The only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the First Rule. Even then, that is not always enough. Violation can cause anything from discomfort, to disaster, to death.

Example: If any of you know LexiCat, you know she is often the target of attacks. Why is this? She never offers anyone harm, she dosen't like to fight, and she has hordes of friends ready to rush to her defense. Why would anyone want to attack such a kind and careing soul?

Because of her friends.

Now, that's not to say they attack her to get to her friends, they don't. They attack her because she is a relatively weak target protected by many strong fighters. All the people protecting her are really making her a prime target for the many villans atacking her and her shop.

They believe they are doing the right thing, but their good intentions are putting her in greater danger.
