2. **Thou Shalt Not Transform Others**: Shapeshifting others against their will is prohibited.

3. **Thou Shalt Not Invade the Mind**: Mental manipulation or mind-reading is outlawed.

4. **Thou Shalt Not Enthrall**: Using magic to control or enslave others is banned.

5. **Thou Shalt Not Reach Beyond the Borders of Life**: Necromancy (raising the dead) is forbidden.

6. **Thou Shalt Not Swim Against the Currents of Time**: Time travel is strictly prohibited.

7. **Thou Shalt Not Seek Knowledge Beyond the Outer Gates**: Forbidden knowledge (e.g., contacting Outsiders) is off-limits.
