It is important to note that it only counts as killing with magic if the intent of the spell directly is to cause death. For example casting a spell that makes your sword burn? Not killing with magic. Casting a spell to cause a boulder to fall and that boulder kills a person? Not killing with magic.
Casting a spell to deliberately cause a boulder to fall and kill someone with magic is. It's a fine line though and many wardens will be likely to kill you for the grey area but intent is important.
Particularly with enchanting, you can enchant a weapon to do lots of nifty things that make it deadly as long as it isn't enchanted to kill. Shapeshifters are another good example, if you shapeshift into an animal and kill them you are killing them with magic sure, but the magic's purpose was to change your form, not focused on killing. The books talk more about this distinction I believe.

DFRPG / Nephilim and Angel Scions in Dresden
« on: July 16, 2017, 11:54:07 PM »
Hello, so I have been wondering this for a while. I know that
There are Demon Scions in the Dresden-verse and I was wondering if there were any examples of more traditional nephilim type scions.

Also regardless I would like to discuss the creation of an accurate Nephilim and noticed some cool lore bits.
1. Nephilim have Hunger. Inhuman Monstrous hunger. Thr stories say they ate all the food of the land food and would grow and eat entire animals and eventually even devour people. Erego I was thinking the Hunger track like a vampire is very appropriate.
2. Nephilim and the term giant. The term "Giant" was synonymous with "Great" or "Grand" as well so while yes Hulking Size probably should be an option, I would not put it as a "must". They "must" have some particular prowess but many were also described as geniuses or "giants" of mind. The nephilim may indeed be the "genies" that people reference as well bringing me to my next point.
3. Other literature says that the Giants and Nephilim are cursed to wander the earth and when they die their immortal souls wait to try and reincarnate. Hence once again my mytholigical creatures such as Gin could be related to the old Nephilim or... also that a character could be a reincarnation or a "host" for a Nephilim spirit.

Anyway I would like some input and also how does an Angel/Demon Scion form?
Thanks.
