Re: Why is there a loophole in the Dark Oaths? Demortae Send a noteboard - 30/09/2010 04:20:05 PM
As far as we know the oath rod is infallible. Is it though? Perhaps an oath limits ones methods are more reliable than one that completely voids the possibility. The oath against lying does not stop one from being deceptive. The oath against using the one power as a weapon and even the one against the creation of weapons both have exceptions. I would believe there was a reason for this. In fact, the only oaths we have that leave no choices to the bound person are Galina's oath of obedience and she is devoid of any will to fight against it.
