Returning from Africa through a Portal Connor and Donna drag the Necromancer towards the Council Chambers for his sentencing, leaving Clive alone with the younger mages.
John sighs as he finds himself a seat. He turns to Jasmine. "You want to watch the trial? It'll help explain the deal with the Laws of Magic to you."

"Yeah, sure," she said, "It would probably be good to learn."

"I'll follow you since I'm next anyways" Clive said as he looked around, "been a while since I've been here" he said.

"You used to be on the Council didn't you?" John asked Clive as they went through a different set of doors to a balcony over looking the trial floor.
The courtroom looks pretty much like a regular mortal courtroom but in the place of the Judges pulpit there stands a long desk staffed a long row of bearded men and tiny aged women. The oldest looking of them, a man that looks like little more than some wrinkled flesh clinging to his bones speaks up. "Abimbola Odili of Kenya, you have been charged with twenty-three hundred violations of the first law of magic..."
"Don't use magic to directly take another sentient being's life. That one is tricky because technically it doesn't cover using magic to summon something else to kill them like a fireball for example." John explains to Jasmine.
The elder mage continues down below. "...and at least two hundred thousand violations of the second law. How do you plead?"
"No ambiguities there. Don't make undead, nothing good ever comes of it." John explains.

"My family was part of the council so it was expected that I would follow in their footsteps and become one and I did for some time" Clive said as he heard the trial and nodded with what John said before adding, "the First Law is really tricky and I'll have to admit it does have some loopholes in it" whispering to Jasmine.

She just nodded as she listened. She would take as much away from here as possible.

"Guilty. I'm not going to let you make a mockery of me with your faux justice." The necromancer says darkly.
"Very well, we sentence you to..." The man begins to say as a gun shot is heard from the far end of the court and he starts to fall, as panic descends upon the crowd three more shots ring out, the Necromancer and two more Councillors fall.
Donna and Connor move to get the rest of the Councillors out of the courtroom.
John gets up and grabs his phone. "That is not a usual part of the trial."

"Assassin" Clive yelled, "protect the elders!" as he transformed into Judgement.

The corpses of the shot wizards start to shift on the ground as their eyes change to pools of pure darkness. John watches and curses, "Horrors..."
He summons his armour and dives in behind Clive. "Any chance those swords are Soul Metal?"
The possed corpse of a Necromancer climbs to it's feet and conjurers a blade of ice as he approaches Jasmine. "Welcome to the dark side little Grasshopper."

Jasmine backed away, "What's going on?" she questioned John.

Clive sliced through one of the corpses, "Better...these swords are kinda special so it'll work" he said.

"I honestly don't know, Jasmine. Someone killed them and summoned demons but..." John admits as he burns the Horror before it recovers from Clive's attack.
"Horrors, child. Demons are spoiled little Angels getting their just desserts. We're much nastier creatures." The Horror!Necromancer explains as it hurls the blade of Ice at Jasmine.

"Armatura Fugural!" she called, transforming quickly and bringing up her bow to shoot down the ice blade.

"Horrors huh?" Clive said, "Why are you so interested in us then?" he asked.
