Laric is one of the only nations in which mind control is a valid defense when someone is accused of a crime. When someone pleads mind control, the Psionic Academy tests for any trace of mind control magic, and if they detect mind control magic that was cast around the approximate time of the crime, all charges are dropped.

The Mind Control Defense

Laric is one of the only nations in which mind control is a valid defense when someone is accused of a crime. When someone pleads mind control, the Psionic Academy tests for any trace of mind control magic, and if they detect mind control magic that was cast around the approximate time of the crime, all charges are dropped. The psions claim that they can detect this magic 60% of the time, so if the Psion doesn't detect any mind control magic, it is not completely certain that none was cast. Unfortunately, if the courts have no other evidence to the contrary, the defendant has effectively just admitted they committed the crime and has no further refuge to escape conviction. Because of this, the mind control defense is rarely used
