Wizards Second Rule

Wizards Second Rule: The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.

Even if you have the greatest of intentions in mind while doing something, the outcome can still be unpredictable and deadly.


I.E. Say, for example, you and two of your friends were walking on some kind of high bridge, and both of you friends lost their balance. You lean over the edge and grasp one arm of each friend. But they are too heavy and they both fall.

See, even though you had the best intentions in mind by trying to save them both, together they were to heavy, and so they both died. If you had only tried to save one, at least one would be alive.

Thats what makes this rule one of the most difficult to follow. We can never really know when we are violating it until its already too late.
