----------
Whatever the exact wording may be. Shouldn't there exist such a charter? Else Magicians like Bargle may had an easy way in conquering towns and hole regions... It has to be a deterrent like the nuclear bombs: Many have the ability to use it, but *if*, the own land is surely to be destroyed completely.
-> mass-destruction of non-troops or the really, really, really bad way to kill thousands of unaware troops (by placing invisible death clouds all around a fortress during night while at peaceful terms...) should be forbidden with the "hanging sword" of a real punch even by those having nothing to do with the war.
