Getting around the Laws

"You killed him!"
"Nah, I shot him. The bullets and the fall killed him."

Max and Vincent, Collateral



So, I've got a player who wants a rote spell called "Fifty feet up and falling". It's an air spell that blows someone straight up into the air and gravity does the rest.
He argues that since the fall is doing the damage (well the ground, actually), not the spell, it's not a violation of the First Law.

I say the Wardens might not see it that way.
Opinions?

That's a violation. And our text makes it clear that's so as well.

It's like saying if you push someone off the top of a tall building, it's not murder, because the ground killed them.

It's like saying if you use magic to set someone on fire, it's not murder, because the fire burned them alive.

It's like saying if you mind control someone into walking in front of a train, it's not murder, because the train killed them.



Sorry, but the guy's got a warden paying him an unfriendly visit in the not too distant future.
