1. A magician must bear the price of magic without emotion. This means that any suffering inflicted upon the magic user that results from his practice of the Art must be met with stoicism.
2. A magician may never take unfair advantage of another magician. In other words, magic-using characters may not launch surprise attacks against other mages or attempt to defraud them for personal gain.
3. A magician may not share the secrets of the Art with anyone but a duly recognized apprentice.
4. A magician is never allowed to refuse hospitality to a visiting colleague. A mage must always accept a visiting mage into his home, regardless of whether the visitor is a friend or enemy. Visitors taking advantage of such hospitality, of course, are required to honor their host's reasonable requests and are enjoined from harming the host in any way for the duration of their stay. Vilating either of these conditions instantly removes the host's obligation.
Any character violating the Magician's Code forfeits any Karma he would have gained from the current adventure. Not all magicians must abide by the Code, and some modern mages do not place any faith in it.
