Legate Balstan Gloamingdaith,

I write regarding your much-needed and welcome reform of the penal code. I have a few suggestions.

There were previously proposals to reform Assault. Presently, unarmed assault is considered less severe than assault with a spell. On its surface, this is reasonable. Yet this would penalize quite harshly, for instance, a firing of a cantrip at one's adversary, an act which is crude yet is minor in its potential harm, while acting quite mildly towards a skilled martial artist who pummels his foe. Such has happened in the past, when a Janissary trained in martial arts pummeled a Voiced woman in the halls of the Assembly unbidden. The alternative proposal is for Minor Assault to be that which does not bring the target to the ground, and Serious Assault to be that which does.

Additionally, I seek clarity on the status of the Dome under the reformed statute of Illegal Worship and Practice, notoriously this legislation was used by Gausim al-Marain, Waterbearer of Baz'eel and political defect, to prohibit worship of the Dome in public places.
